It was nice to see the accuracy in Nix long ball and hanging in the pocket.

That's one boring show. About 20 plays and lots of commercials.

Hell, I don't even think his long balls were that accurate, he just finally put them in a place that the WR could adjust to it and make a catch. The TD to Johnson and the one to Shed were both a little late and underthrown, but that is fine when they have room to operate, let the WR make the play on the ball.
The TD to Hudson was a fantastically positioned ball to keep him out of harm's way.

I'll say this, it's hard for me to evaluate those throws because I don't have the same view he did when he let it go. I think you are on the right track, but he could have just as easily been throwing into windows and he and the WRs aren't on the right page yet.

Oh I didn't mean it as a criticism necessarily. Just that he wasn't just dropping dimes on the deep balls, but what he did do was give the WR a chance at the ball instead of over throwing it 10 years. That alone is a huge improvement.

I noticed the receivers had to make some adjustments but compared to the past I am using the word accurate.

If you have to crawl before running. I'd say baby steps last year to now walking and chewing gum at the same time.

One year we had a ton of coverage of the equipment guys, the travel team, and the personnel that help the players recover week to week. Those were great episodes.
