🏈 To those that complain about the "jet sweep" aspect of the offense ... you've got me curious.

Jake's not quite as fluid in his hips and footwork as Blake was. Especially on throws to the right. Having to turn your entire body a full 90°, set your feet, and then cock and release is not as easy as it looks. Especially for a big guy like Jake. This is also why you usually don't see guys like Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, or Phillip Rivers throw those quick screens like that.

It was a strength for Blake because he was so quick footed.

This is why tunnel screens work a lot better for QBs that aren't quite as agile. They take a little time to develop.

And the reason we don't use more tunnel screens is we don't have a TE or a slot receiver that blocks all that well downfield on those types of plays.

Mullaney is pretty excellent on screens, as is Stewart. Stewart is probably the best screen receiver tho.

Stewart was not a great blocker for most of the season. The light finally started "flickering" for him vs. Tennessee. Which is probably why we didn't run it much. He was lazy on blocks and routes where he knew he wasn't getting the ball. If you can't utilize it much during the first half of the season with any success, you pretty much forget about that play. Notice as the season progressed, we used the jet sweep/tap passes more.

Mullaney has been serviceable, but not outstanding.

Like you said Stewart had the light come on about midway through the season but Mullaney's blocking is excellent, pure and simple. He isn't Julio level of blocking but he's very good.
