Last year I felt like defenses were playing lots of deep zone daring us to throw short so we just didn't have many deep opportunities. but I feel like edwards-helaire will punish defenses for doing that. Maybe that opens up a deep shot or two.

I can see this line of thinking.
So first you have to establish CEH as a real threat to be contended with on the first carry of the game, right? Can't do it in week 1 when the league doesn't know if they're scared of him or not.
And you don't really want to do it against a team with a strong pass-rush because they're coming out fresh and ready to fire upfield, even if you can get them to hesitate a bit w/ CEH.
And personally (though I see a counterargument to this), I think you want to do it at home. Crowd noise is down when you have the ball so you can easily get out of it if you think it's not there. And the effect would be enormous when the opposing team gets the ball in response.
So mid-season at home against a team with a mediocre pass rush but who's a dynamic enough squad that you want to get a foot on their throat pretty early.
{peruses schedule}
10/4 or 10/11 vs. the Patriots or Raiders. Neither team has an elite pass-rush. The problem w/ doing it against the Patriots is that Gilmore's one of the few that could still hang in long enough to screw that up. The problem with the Raiders is that...it's the Raiders - who cares?
But it would be kinda fun just to rub some nuts on Gruden's face.
So yeah - I'm on board. 10/11 at Arrowhead - let's go ahead and play-fake and huck it deep to Hill just to hang a little brain and remind the Raiders that Ruggs may be fast...but y'all are still the Raiders.
