This is a bad way of thinking...being able to consistently push the ball downfield...id both medium range (10-25) and long range (25+ through the air) are vital to keeping defenses honest and off balance. Specifically for the passing game you get your Corners to play soft off the WRs, you get safety play back in 2 deep zones, and you get the underneath stuff to open up and be more effective. And specifically for the running game, the secondary plays back so that second level support takes longer to get there.



Franchise QB who can be accurate in medium and deep throws take offenses to the next level.

Yet a short throw into the endzone is what really cost us. Kirk hits there and we win - without the deep ball. We are 3-1 without the deep ball being prevalent. Of course I want to see him hitting long short medium - etc. as far as stretching the field DJax is going to do that anyway.
I think our running game has been fairly effective last couple weeks without the deep ball. Its all about moving the chains. Bottom line. Kirk will connect on the deep ball plenty over the course of this season. Like Matty pointed out there were to PI calls on deep balls. That is as good as a catch. Cousins is just absolutely not the problem right now. Nor is the offense. We need Preston Smith, Kerrigan, Murphy to get some serious heat on opposing qb's. if we can muster that we can win plenty of games with our current offense doing exactly what it is doing.
