3. Using the middle of the field

This isn’t necessarily Lawrence’s fault.

The play-calling at times got away from routes across the middle of the field. In 2020, I’d like to see Lawrence use the middle of the field a little more and get away a bit from throwing as many sideline fades.

The Tigers have the wide receiver talent to run complex routes- especially with the addition of TE Braden Galloway– and I’d really like to see Lawrence have more options and use those across the middle of the field, one of his strengths.
