bluv Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Were the routes different then, or did Fitz just hit his receivers and Trent didn't? Fitz looks to throw the ball to WR over 10 yards on intermediate routes while Trent checks down to RBs and will only throw the ball deep on go routes.

generaLee83 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Hell if I was a WR I wouldnt run any pattern deeper than 8 yards because Trent wont throw you the ball. First, your avatar just made me poop myself. Second, I'll take your idea a bit further and suggest that Buffalo's WR's all change their numbers to be in the 30's or 40's (typical halfback numbers) and then maybe Trent can be tricked into "checking down" when in reality he is throwing the ball past the line of scrimmage.

OrangeJuiceSimpson Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I thought the same thing. No slants, no crosses, no deep passes. Every play to a receiver, back, or TE seemed to be a curl or hitch. I have a feeling that some receivers were running other routes, but Trent was missing them. The worst part about those routes are they don't allow a reciever to make a play after the catch. Which is good because we don't have some of the fastest WR's in the league.
