#1 Joe was inconsistent with his deep ball
#2 His only vertical receiver AJ Green had an inconsistent year
#3 The Offense struggled to give deep passing opportunities
#4 Defenses were able to stop the run with their defensive front allowing them to run more cover 2/3
All of these were big factors in the deep passing numbers last season.
Agree with most of what you say except I don't consider Green to be our only vertical receiver. Higgins ran a faster forty than Green. I realize there is more to being a good vertical receiver than just the forty time, but I don't see any reason Higgins can't be one.
