Deshaun issues
Quite a few of you on here place all the blame on the coaching or the scheme. A former QB Clint Stoerner on 610AM radio broke down all the film from the all-22 for the first 3 games. He noted AT LEAST 10 plays where Deshaun made the wrong decision for the play, several of them for TDs.
One in particular was this past weekend on a 3rd & 4. DJ hit the flat against a slower line backer which is where the play should have gone. The scheme set it up for him to be against a LB and it would have been an easy 1st down reception. They motioned someone pre snap to show that it was man and he had the clear matchup advantage. Deshaun never even looked that way and ended up taking a sack.
This scheme, like every offensive scheme in the NFL opens players up for advantage matchups. Deshaun just isn't seeing them. On that radio show they had many listeners texting in (maybe some of you) asking why it looks so easy for Pat Mahomes in his offense. The instant answer was that Pat executes their scheme perfectly every time. He goes to the matchup advantage or the player that the play schemes open. Most of the time he knows it pre snap based off the defensive being run. Deshaun doesn't do this on a consistent basis. It's why the offense looked so good in the first half and didn't in the second half.
Look Deshaun is my guy; I LOVE him as our QB. But he HAS to progress on the mental side of the game at some point. It's year 4 he has to show improvement in this area. Plays are open, he's just gotta consistently make the right decision.
