Recently I've noticed Hurst going out about 3 to 4 yards and catching it (but taking a pop too). I'd rather see those and get a few yards.
I remember John Madden saying to get the first down you have to make sure you go beyond the sticks. It seems in the modern day of play calling that dumping it off 3 yards short and trusting your guy to break a tackle and dive past the sticks is what's expected. I'm not in that camp unless there's nothing else.
That's not Zac, though - that's Joe. Joe is taking his checkdown option there and most plays are going to have those built into it.
