Re: Flacco as attempted the most passes over 20 yards in the nfl
You mean the Houston defense that got torched by NE and... wait for it... Jacksonville with Chad Henne at QB?
The Houston defense is very well coached by Wade Philips, who probably coaches the best scheme in football. However, the Texans really aren't all that talented on defense like they are on offense. It really is JJ Watt and the rest down there with Brian Cushing on IR.

Re: Flacco as attempted the most passes over 20 yards in the nfl
I like the WCO but with a power run element to it, or even a zone running scheme that Houston run. The Patriots have a great power run scheme that they go to a lot to set up the pass, the 49ers do it well too, but I notice they like to take their deep shots a bit more with Kaepernick at QB.

Re: Flacco as attempted the most passes over 20 yards in the nfl
Lets face it. A huge part of our offense over the last few years has been throwing the long ball and getting 30+ yard DPI penalties. For whatever reason, we aren't getting as many of those calls this year. Is it because Boldin isn't flopping as well, or are the refs loosening up? Who knows, but a lot of those long balls are thrown into coverage purposely, with little hope they'll actually be completed.

Re: Flacco as attempted the most passes over 20 yards in the nfl
This is actually a really good point that I'm surprised hasn't already been mentioned. Have we had a single DPI deep downfield this year? I believe we led the league in DPI yardage last year by a huge margin.
Flacco would slightly underthrow a lot of deep passes last year knowing it was likely to draw a DPI. Go back and watch the Arizona game for a bunch of good examples. Not getting those calls this year has had a big impact on our ability to extend drives and score points.
Honestly, even if it was working in past years, I don't think that was a good strategy. Defenses have watched enough tape to recognize when we're going to try it and all they need to do is not panic and play correct technique and they're fine.
