Ball placement was actually perfect. As I said in another thread, that is a timing/placement ball. You hit the back foot and loft it to the "bucket" which is exactly what he did. The thing is Trent, who I like, is 5'8 and not much of a speedster. Usually that ball is thrown to a guy who is 6 ft and faster which allows for it to fall into their outstretched arms while remaining on their feet and most likely running out of bounds with the catch.
When you play with back up receivers things on timing patterns don't always look good, especially when you have spent all camp working with the starters. There were a few other balls that were issues with receivers not being where they are supposed to be which can come from not working a ton with those receivers and the receivers maybe not knowing where they are supposed to be (Like the comeback discussed in the other thread). In reality I thought he played fine last night in terms of putting the ball where it should be more often than not.
