Does Campbell end the 'Cover 2' excuse?

With JC taking the reins should we see more of those throws against that coverage?

That dump off crap is a bunch of bullshit. Not to be too technical but with this type of covergae you can throw deep curl routes and deep dig or crossing routes in the 15-25 yard range. But you MUST have a TE who can run right down the middle in between the safties. The TE will occupy the middle backer and one of the safties 9-10 times. As long as your TE can get off the line and get in the 2ndary quickly, then the deep crossing and curl routes open up underneath the TE running down the field. This is why KC had a strong passing game with average WR's. The TE makes it all go against this type of coverage. I use to play HS football and most of the defenses we played used this type of covergae.
