To be honest I'm more concerned about our o-line and receiving corps. I don't expect any qb to look like a world beater this year.
Jefferson is the kind of athlete at receiver that every now and then, the QB is even instructed by the OC or HC to give him a chance to make a play regardless of coverage.
We did the same with some success to Jamarcus Bradley and Ladarius Green in past seasons. Guys who were clear mismatches.
Cunningham did it with guys like Moss and Carter. I’m sure Burrow’s done it at times with Chase, at LSU and Cincy. Steve Young did it with Owens in that last play TD to beat the Packers.
Now Miguel…he’s likely not the type of athlete to force a throw into triple coverage; however, it was practice. Not a game. There could have been other variables other than BW’s decision making. No one posting on this board knows.
If that same thing happens in an actual game, then criticize away.
They design plays like that for certain people. That play is most likely something they call/ a check down if Ben sees a certain defensive scheme which can get them a solid 3-4 yards. Had that ball not been tipped that is a great play to pick up yards on 1st down or get them to a 3rd down and manageable.
