Here's the thing with the 3rd and 18 call-
We'd been blitzing damned near every time in that type of situation.
You don't want to be predictable. So, although I personally love blitzes (I'd blitz like ****ing mad, probably a good thing I'm not a DC.) I get NOT doing what they were expecting.
The end result of the long bomb completion is unfortunate. But rather than the play call, I see a few things-
1)A pro bowl Receiver running a great route and great adjustment to what was good coverage as Williams damned near ran him out of bounds topped off with a great catch.
2) What appeared to me to be late help over the top from the safety, which was Cook, I think. I don't know what the coverage was but I would think with no blitz on Williams should have had safety help over the top.
Getting down on Spags while he's trotting out 6 rookies the majority of snaps is ridiculous, in my opinion.
Dude's been a magician as far as I'm concerned.
