Did it suddenly vanish from his ken?
Wilson does not do things his team is not allowing him to do because his coach is not making it a part of the gameplan. Period.
Then please explain why on the All-22 there are dozens of examples of open receivers in the middle and intermediate area that have obviously been game planned to be there and open and Wilson is not throwing to them.
Easy, more chances for a INT, tip, or bounce that creates a turnover, almost all of Wilsons throws are out and away or deep and away.
Wilson still does not do the anticipation throw, you know the one where you throw to s spot on the field based on the read and the WR breaks there on a timing pattern.
He doesn't throw into tight windows unless it's a 4th Quarter Comeback, not happening in normal offense. That gives him a out card trying to lead a comeback and there was a mistake.
Thats all in the design of protect the football and don't take chances, a message repeatedly made by Pete and I would bet drilled into Wilson and every Offensive Coach.
exactly as PC has said he does not like throwing over the middle for those exact reasons. In fact 4 of Wilson INT came over the middle on tipped, or dropped passes. By the way we had 27 dropped passes this year. top 3 in the league.
