Singleton, Lane, Janneh, et al are not getting very much separation on deep routes this year. If HK is off a little, especially if short, there would have been INTs. Since that is a focus, I’d guess CBF is taking 2-3 shots downfield a game to keep the S honest, and HK is being coached to miss long.On the surface, the difference between a banged up HK and the numbers you quote doesn't look that big. However, the 10% difference (imo) is the deep vertical throws. We haven't hit many of those at all this year and it appears to be somewhat related to injury (pure speculation on my part). Someone mentioned that we have yet to hit a receiver on a long route in stride this year. I think one of the keys in the back half of our schedule is hitting on a few more deep routes here and there to keep the safeties from cheating up. This is where the 10% becomes very significant.
