Despite his high-priced receiving corps, Edwards has settled primarily for attempting short passes, which by NFL standards are defined as passes that travel in the air less than 15 yards—yards gained after the catch are not included.
Of Edwards’ 91 attempts this season, 78 have been short ones. As for the remaining 13 attempts that traveled 16 yards or more, Edwards has completed only four for 117 yards with two touchdowns and an interception.
Against the Saints, Edwards’ first 20 attempts were short passes, and he only attempted two deep—both incomplete to Owens.
