re: Really Solid Take By Josh Pate

So much of this is the product of the route combinations being shite. That diving attempt by Brooks that he didn't bring in was a good example. The throw wasn't great, but if it had been it's probably either an INT or a hospital ball because Brooks ran his route into the same area as another receiver. He had separation, but it didn't matter because he was effectively double covered.

To further your point, look at the Bryce scramble and TD pass to Brooks. How do you have 2 receivers that close together when your QB is under pressure and scrambling for his life.
