Adam Gase: The NFL is a dink-and-dunk league
Quote:
Miami Dolphins new coach Adam Gase will run the offense that best suits his personnel, despite the catcalls for more deep throws.

When asked about an offense that throughout training camp has been a series of mostly dump-offs, screens, and short-to-intermediate routes, Gase was adamant that he's comfortable with an offense that exploits the horizontal aspect of the field more than the vertical.

"I'm fine with it. I'm the one scripting the plays, calling the plays," he said Wednesday, per the Miami Herald. "I've had a little success with what we do. There's a time and a place. There's also a time and a place not to get sacked 60 times in a year, too."

Gase's game plan in Miami not only has to do with his own personnel, but how he views the entire NFL.

"The whole league is 10 yards and under. That's what it is. Nobody is going down the field. There's one team that does it really, maybe two. Pittsburgh and Arizona. Hold onto the ball and they chuck it down the field," he said. "More teams than not, it's 10 yards and under. That's where all the passing game is. The D-ends are too good. If you want to stand back there and have your quarterbacks get your brains beat out, go at it."

Gase isn't wrong.

The top five quarterbacks in yards per attempt in 2015 were Carson Palmer (8.7 YPA), Andy Dalton (8.4), Ben Roethlisberger (8.4), Russell Wilson (8.3) and Tyrod Taylor (8.0), per Pro Football Reference. Palmer's 2015 season ranks 50th all time and nowhere near (((((((((Sid Luckman)))))))))'s top YPA of 10.9 in 1943. The likes of Tom Brady and Philip Rivers have made an art out of dicing up defenses with a diverse set of quick passes.

The NFL has gone from mad bomber to cerebral carver.

Among the top yards per attempt seasons in NFL history, Aaron Rodgers' 2011 average of 9.2 is the only one this decade in the top 20 (T-15). For reference, Nick Foles' magical -- and aberrational -- 2013 season ranks 23rd all time at 9.1 YPA, second only to 2011 Rodgers this decade (fourth-highest this millennium).

So, when you see the Dolphins' offense sticking to the quick passing game, it's not just Tannehill or Gase who are pro-dink and dunk. It's the overwhelming majority of the NFL, including notable Super Bowl champs.

What if I told you that the NFL is now an Alex Smith league?

They're not afraid to work the horizontal and short part of the game but they'll also go vertical if they catch you slipping.

They legitimately force you to cover every inch of the field and that's what makes them great.
Let's not pretend that Alex is incapable of going deep.

There isn't an NFL QB who isn't capable of going deep.

Which is why I said "capable of going deep with success". I should have clarified "capable and willing while also enjoying consistent success".

That's why I am hoping that this Tyreek hype pays out with a speedster that can get separation.

But I'm not going to get to excited for a 5th round rookie just because they are tearing it up in training camp. But it's nice to have things to be optimistic about, right?

There's too much going on in the world right now to be pessimistic about, like a Hillary Clinton Presidency.

I remember saying I wished we had gotten Carson Palmer over Alex Smith a few years ago and was laughed at.

Everyone is wrong sometime.

Carson Palmer would have been okay. Glad Oakland shipped him out.

Still glad we went Alex Smith. Better than we have had for a while.

Al Davis disagreed and definitely paid the price ruining his organization which is now just starting to tread water again.
