Episode notes
Defense Eases Offensive Burden
- The defense's rise lessens offensive pressure; strong defensive EPA can compensate for offensive struggles.
- If defense sustains this level, the offense can operate with lower volume and risk.
Punt When Up Two Scores Late
- Punt in late-game two-possession scenarios to avoid gifting field-goal range when leading by two scores.
- Trust your defense selectively; don't risk short-field situations in the final minutes.
Forced Usage Of A.J. Reduced Efficiency
- The offense sometimes force-feeds A.J. Brown with manufactured touches rather than letting plays develop organically.
- That approach produced volume but not the expected explosive efficiency tonight.
