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.
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?

It's when he makes his cut. This isn't high school football. Timing is everything, ball has to be out when he makes the cut. If it's late yeah, the DB has time to drive on it.
Yeah, he's running an inbreaker on 3rd and 20. He's not gonna run it at 20 yards because, well, duh you don't have time to run an in breaker at 20 yards on 3rd and 20.
DJ brought it up earlier, you aren't gonna convert alot of 3rd and 20's in this situation, but what you absolutely can't do, is turn in over. Throw it short, if he breaks a tackle, great. If not, punt and play defense. You're up 2 scores.
