The point is they knew their fourth best option was a mismatch for your fourth best coverage guy and they attacked it until a team altered, which would allow them to take some shot.  That is how they came out and scored so many times their first couple drives and teams would have to adjust.  It was high %, and it was effective.  

You just go through your progressions and throw it to the open guy. This isn't ***** rocket science like everyone wants to make it out to be. 

You read the defense pre snap. You figure out your primary target based on that. If they are covered, then go to your next progression etc. 

Boyd should be FEASTING this year and should be the first option on a lot of the stuff against two high safety looks in the middle of the field, but he has been a complete after thought. I don't get it.
