So therefore, CB's anticipate the flat pass, and jump the hell out of it. That's basically what our offense couldn't overcome.
The route that beats the cover 2, is the WR post & a TE skinny post. Both great plays for a QB who can place a ball well (and is tall enough to see the field). We'll see what happends. I'm excited.

Skinny post works very well against cover 2 and we saw some of that against Indy. There are many ways to attack the cover 2 in the 15-25 yard range. If the line can protect, (and that's a big if) it will be interesting to see if Campbell is willing sit in the pocket and wait for those down the field routes to develop. If you ask me, Brunell just didn't have the willingness the sit in there and wait for things to develop down the field. Plus Brunell needed perfect protection to get in down the field.
