I used to think they just liked to go down the field a lot but that is not the case. He literally will put air under the ball so his receivers can go up and high point the attempt while the defender has their head turned.
Call me crazy but this is part of their game planning strategy. And last nights game would have been the perfect opportunity for us to do the same in the 3rd quarter. Our O had become so stagnant and needed a big play or something to change momentum. Take a shot, probably not with AJ Green as they tend to roll coverage his way, but with Mo Sanu or Marvin Jones. Both of these guys are usually singled up and can go up and make plays on the ball.
Go back and watch Pittsburgh and see how many pass interference calls they get like this. Heck, I think there were 2 or 3 this past week against Baltimore.
I watched that Ravens Steeler game and every incomplete pass that Ben threw, Wheaton, Brown and Bryant all cried for flags. Not surprised though.
