I keep reading that we should throw more to Graham, what I don't clearly understand is, is this on Bevel or Russell, and or is it because the defense knows we'd like to throw it to Graham and plays accordingly. Here's what I think happens, I'm hoping a more knowledgeable poster can clarify.
Play comes in from Bevel, it's a pass play, primary is Graham on a seam route, ADB is second on a crossing route and Lockett is the third read on a deep route. I'm not saying this is a realistic play, just for splaining purposes. Russell in the shotgun with an empty backfield, sees the safety shift and reads Graham's route will be double covered and audibles to make ADB the primary. After the snap linebacker drops into coverage doubling ADB, Webb gets blown up and just before getting laid out, RW chucks it deep to Lockett for a 50 yard gain.
My point being that Bevel called Graham's number, but because of the way the play develops he doesn't get the ball. So who bears responsibility for that?
