No reason they can't just take what the D gives them and check down to guys who are open. I get it that they have made some great plays on long passes, but he needs to be more selective about it imo.
First off the "hero Ball" is crap. That is not what the play is. 2nd if you listened to the announcers last game you would have heard them say numerous times there were not short or intermediate routes being run, they were all go routes, so what would you have him do when the only option he has is long routes. Now that is not always the case, however, unless you are Rw seeing what he sees, form his angle you really have no clue what is happening all you know is hey he is open short why throw long, there may be a legit reason for it. One would think having 6 years of great play, an SB, numerous trips to the playoffs RW would get the benefit of the doubt, but a few here use it as their excuse to rag on him, To them, I say go watch another team. You want to complain when he throw a stupid interception I get it, so am I. However this I saw something open, or shy do this is crap. Argue fact, not perception.
Ummm....throw it away? :roll: Pretty much anything but throw into double coverage against top pass defenders.
Soulfish is correct. We both stick up for Russell plenty, and that was a hero ball shot by definition right there.
"Throw it away" If Wilson was asked he would agree the duck into double coverage was a bad choice.
Pretty sure is asked he would say hope Doug does not fall/get pulled down and stops running on the other
