“I can put the third team offense against the first team defense, and it looks like football. It didn’t look that way last year”-the gap between 1st and 3rd team is significantly improved-“
No. I didn't say that we didn't have any big plays. I said its been lacking. And Palmer, plus I'll add in Lloyd last year to a lesser extent, were pretty much long passes behind the defense. Both are good deep threats. This offense needs a lot more than that. More chunk plays and less reliance on 10+ play drives. Barney is a kid who can catch a short pass, make one or two guys miss and get up field for some big gains.
