Gurden said "get the ball to your quick Wr"


WOW!!

This has been a huge problem with our offense.  Last year, our receivers weren't great but they were capable of getting separation.  Smith, LaFell, and Ginn could get away from DBs and give Newton room to throw the ball.

 

This year, they are unable to do so.  Benjamin is a big target but he is an inconsistent route-runner, which is critical when talking creating separation.  It is why you see a guy like Jason Witten manage to get wide open so often, that and he knows the hole in zone defenses so well.  Cotchery and Avant are ridiculously slow.  Because of this, Newton has to make the near-perfect pass because the DBs are going to contest everything.  He has such a small window to work with due to the fact.  Just look at when Cotchery was being covered by Barwin.  Barwin, a linebacker, blanketed Cotchery. 

 

No speed or quickness.  Nearly every pass is contested as a result.  It's brutal.
