If Andy is able to take some long shots and hit them in stride early on it'll force defenses to drop into coverage much more often . 
In preseason teams don't really have to worry about points on the board nearly as much as they do in the regular season. They can sit on running backs all day and ignore receivers. It becomes a whole different story when points are at a premium .. 

I agree with this. If that was a regular season game and Andy came out and hung 20 on them in the 1st half while the D pitched a shutout, there would be no more 8 men in the box crap.....
