For the record, it was a slant and a wheel with Sony and Nauta. Everything in the world told Fromm to throw it to Sony but got locked in to the slant with Nauta and was lucky to not have that pass intercepted.

Bad read but he doesn't do it that often.

In college they throw to spots and high low or inside out defenders. They have to figure out the coverage and they know which guy they want to attack. Fromm misread it.


Before the snap, Fromm knew the LB had coverage on Sony and Nauta has inside leverage on the undersized db. Fromm was unable to account for the traffic jam when he decided to throw the ball. That jam is the only reason Sony was wide open and Nauta was on the ground. If the play works as designed, Sony takes the LB out of the play, and Fromm throws to a spot to the open primary target that would have led to a first down at worst, td at best.

If this is true, then he should have gone to Sony. No way the LB was going to make up that much ground on somebody with Sony's speed. There is no way he could make up that much ground on Sony whether he runs into Nauta or not.
