I'm clearly not an offensive football genius, but I have some questions.

From what I've seen, an approach when your offensive line is iffy is to use short to medium timing passes on a short drop (if you want to use play action).  The offensive line then only needs to hold their blocks for short time.  Is this correct?  It seems that the Cardinal haven't used that strategy much.  This is puzzling because the presence of a talented tight end stable plus JJAW would seem to be custom made for this approach.  Perhaps the problem is that for this timing pass approach to work, the quarterback and the receivers really have to be on the same page.  Perhaps Chryst lacks the confidence to make this happen or maybe his slow release is not suited to this?  If this is the case perhaps Costello's mechanics and personality might fit this approach better.  Also, I think a short to medium passing game might well help the running game since the linebackers would have to worry more about their drops and not crowd the line of scrimmage.  Does any of this make sense?
