Oh, really? Below is a list of all 29 deep passes (20 yards or more downfield) attempted against us this season -- seven completions, 20 incompletions and two interceptions.
On how many of these plays did you "already know the pass will be completed"?
On how many of these plays was "Roy back there in coverage"?
And on how many of these plays was "Roy pointing fingers at the end of the play"?
I think you'll be shocked at the answers.
