Bombers short passing game

[TecnoGenius]

Another issue is we don't have recievers/ backs that make that first guy miss, ie Philpot, our rbd tend to be north south

Ya, but as OP noted, when the ball arrives the D is usually already at the REC to tackle him before he takes even 2 steps.  That's timing, scheme and blocking issues.

We also don't seem to catch D's off-kilter.  They always sniff the screens out.  At least a couple should catch them off guard!

Clercius is usually the outside receiver so he isn't as effective  positioned to help out blocking, I don't really want to see Schoen doing any of that heavy inside blocking either, although he probably would try. 

I lot of these short passes we're talking about are screens. Demski (for example) running along the line of scrimmage towards the outside and Clercius running back trying to block the DB so Demski can run free, but we've had trouble breaking through that first later of the D leading to many 1-2 yard gains.

And people are saying we're using the short passes as a running gaem, but we wouldn't be happy if our back was averaging 1-2 yards a carry either ( which was incidentally what Patterson was averaging through 3 quarters. He only had 7 yards at the start of the 4th).
