Baffled me too. And that was a true deep ball... down the middle. We then threw passes short of a first on 3rd down. I'd rather see us at least get intermediate passes attempted. I think Hud likes seeing Coutts punt so much that he prefers it to a deep ball. I don't even see signs that our staff has our OL and Jennings on timed snaps for pass protection and intermediate to deep passing. The obsession with keeping everything low risk has allowed defenses to tee off on us and has virtually neutered our offense. Hud went in the wrong direction last year... and he's doing it again this year. When things don't work... he limits the offense to what he considers simple plays that we can supposedly execute cleanly and without great risk. He's wrong. Defenses capitalize on simplicity... unless you're physically substantially more dominant. We are not. We must go with greater risk and complexity... even if it occasionally bites us in the ___.
