So... The deep balls

[PleaseCutStewart]

Is it DC not calling the routes or Bryce not throwing them when we call them. I honestly don't know but am starting to think it might be a DC problem

Also, remind me to bet against this idiot every week

He said he wouldn’t call them until they could execute them in practice.

With that said, the deep shots have always been there. Bryce just wouldn’t throw them.

I don't think it is a DC problem, personally, given how we have executed those plays in past games.

On the one hand, you are probably right. But... I definitely didn't see these routes run in the games against GB and NO.

Maybe the saints debacle made DC realize he can't keep calling all routes that are 10 yards or less

Has Bryce ever hit a dude deep in stride like he did today with XL? Im pretty sure thats the first time he's done it in 3 years. No its not a DC issue, in fact, the scheme and receiver play was great today. Receivers were running free all day.

Cowboys game last year to Coker off the top of my head

Fair question - my biggest complaint is that we haven't given him the chance to even do it this year. 

That's why I want to see him throw it deep. If Bryce sucks and throws interceptions, then we definitely have our answer of not resigning him

I think you mean “deep ball”.  It only happened once.

[Chief Keek]

Deep shots have been there all season, Bryce is just hesitant to make the throws because he usually misses or the WR have to make a spectacular catch.

Fair - that one deep ball at least made ATL run 2 deep safeties for most of the remainder of the game

I couldn’t believe how open everyone was. Evans caught a pass today and there was no one within 10 yards of him.
