hmmm, how can I explain it to you....they were rushing 4, so 7 dropped into coverage. so yeah, its possible somebody else wasn't free. most game our WRs weren't getting open in the end zone. there was plenty of that issue.
but with that said, he took a risk. I think one, Lamb or Gallup should have ran that route. they are much taller, better reach, which would allow the QB to make a higher throw and over the LB. Cook is only 5/10.
and yes, I probably would have gone to another WR too. not sure if any of them was open, but also keep in mind, that would have been much longer throw and different angles.
I wish there was a wider shot of this play, so we could see everybody else.
