Message: [QUOTE="giddyup, post: 4390011, member: 11505"] I have to say, not exactly. We are asking wide receivers to catch footballs. The idea is not so much they will break open every time. The idea is you take pressure off the box because they have to cover, because if they do get lazy and cheat, then our second class WRs are perfectly capable of catching a deep pass. The same goes with the mid-range passing. Simply using your TEs to block and release and move 12 yards down field behind the LBs forces them to back off the LOS and hold. A few passes behind the LBs does wonders. They simply have to account for a possible releasing TE. This is hugely effective in a play action. None of these things were done, and they are perfectly executable. Where I do agree is Zion can’t throw in small windows. So, what’s “open” is a function of QB accuracy and ability to put the ball where it must be when there is small separation. Final thought on this point. I am amazed how none of the guys were taught any back shoulder techniques. When you can’t beat man coverage, underthrowing to the back shoulder can work wonders. [/QUOTE]
