I keep seeing people say that Heath took a "bad angle" on the big 92 yard play by the Jets.
I've superimposed 2 images of Heath onto the image of the field at the point the WR caught the ball.
The image of Heath with the black and red lines drawn from him to the WR is the actual location of Heath when he started to turn and run towards the WR.
The image with the blue lines is an example of where Heath would really have had a choice of angles.
As you can see, there is minimal change that Heath could have made in his "angle".
The black line is his actual path and the red line is where he might have gone.
The problem is that it would require several extra steps for him to reach the WR if he took the red path.
In the example image with the blue lines, he would have had the choice to intersect the WR at different points based on the angle he took and the distance would be similar with either path.
