Sure, Watson at thhe top of the screen is technically open when he breaks, but firt of all, he's short of the sticks by about 5-6 yards. Two, he's crossing towards the middle at a pretty fast rate; Pat can't throw at Justin or behind him even a little. He has to lead him, and by a decent amount considering how fast Justin's going from left to right.
And the rush beats the OL at about the 4.5sec mark. The ball has to be gone by about 4.7 seconds, right? Stop the clip at 5 sec and go back a tad. Is Justin really 'wide open'?
It doesn't look like it to me. It looks like a rapidly shrinking window that he'd have to lead by 3-4 yards from 28 yards away with a rusher in his face.
I mean, maybe if Watson had come back directly towards Pat more. Would've made it more like 4th and 10, but Pat wouldn't have to lead him, and the defender to the middle wouldn't be in play and the other defender is stacked behind Watson. But he runs across the field.
MVS, well, guessing that has to be MVS streaking down the middle with triple coverage, so he's never open.
Whoever that is underneath MVS isn't open either, plus he's 10 yds short of the sticks?
Gray is never a real target, both because of his depth, and the fact that the rush gets to Pat before he can even look at Gray.
The outlet, as usual, doesn't count.
I don't think anyone's legitmately open in that clip; prove me wrong?
