While I do see Purdy sometimes throws a ball a tad high...... why the hell do kittle and all the receivers keep jumping to catch the ball instead of extending their arms and pulling it in with their hands? This kills a ton of yac opportunities. I'm noticing it more and more every week and when you watch the replay you realize the ball is fine and they have almost no need to hop or jump but it seems they don't like using their arms and hands like that.
As a rule, you want to jump up to shield the ball from the defender rather than extend your arms and allow the defender to swipe at it. Of course that may sound silly when you have ten yards of separation...
