Drinkwitz wants to “cut it loose” in 2022. What exactly does that mean?

Aside from the status updates, probably the biggest thing I’ve taken from Eli Drinkwitz’s comments throughout this early portion of camp is that he wants to “cut it loose” in the passing game. He’s been extremely critical of how conservative his play calling has been and wants to change that.

I, for one, find this refreshing. You don’t usually find a coach who will be that candid about their displeasure with their performance.

Also... He’s right! Drinkwitz has been pretty good as a play caller, but there has absolutely been a tendency to be conservative. There has been a tendency to go into a shell late into close games.
