The window would have been tighter, but Dez's late break gave the Safety just enough time to break on the ball.
In the two photos were Tony's arm is cocked back watch were Dez is in relation to position on the field.
The first photo he's already breaking towards the middle to get in that window (the void)
In the second photo he's already past the sticks a couple of yards where he should have made his break towards the middle.
Look at the next set of photos...
Dez catches the ball 15 yds from the LOS, in the second one Dez is 20 yds from the LOS.
"It's little bit like the description of pornography from years back. It's hard to define it. But you know what it is at the end of it. It's hard to define it. I think you know who is more physical. Often times you see that in the fourth quarter. A lot of time the team on the other side feels it. We pride ourselves on being a physical football team. It's important to us. It's an important time of the year to lay that foundation." - Coach Garrett
