A perfect pass will not be stopped by Revis and Ed Reed in double coverage.
As for Range in coverage, 2 deep already has them deep and if they only see one receiver going deep to their side, its an easy read to get there. And since our pass coverage took 5-7 seconds for our rush, the secondary should have given up 400 yards through the air. You do know our defense has 11 players, not 4.

The word separation gets over-used. In the NFL, it's about finding single coverage and putting the ball where the receiver can make a play. D-Hall had good coverage, but receivers in single coverage should win most of the time if the ball is thrown well. Any corner would have been toast on that play.
Hankerson had a similar play but mis-timed his jump, barely got off the ground and looked ridiculous trying to make the catch. A lot of receivers would have at least made a better play on the ball. The good ones would have made the catch.
