1st half JG: 11.3 air yds per att (#1 in NFL)
2nd half JG: 5.0 air yds per att (#30 in NFL)
2nd half had explosive plays open too. Just weren't taken.
which one's specifically?
This is so dumb. We were leading in the 2nd half. Mostly handing it off and running out the game and short throws. So, so dumb. Honestly do these media people need to be this dumb?
The second half was basically a 9 minute drive...something like 9 runs and 3 passes. Yeah, not a lot of room for explosives.
There seems to be this massive obsession with the FF/Madden generation on the deep ball. And Kyle doesn't give af.
Tyreek Hill has been shredding defenses deep for ages and defenses still don't adjust to just him. This idea if Trey or Jimmy just threw a few more deep balls, the defense would back off and stop defending the run with numbers against Kyle doesn't seem rational. Maybe it is.
Either way, it doesn't sound like Kyle believes that either so maybe we should all stop hoping for that. In fact, him scoring a fast TD seems like the last thing he wants to do.
