Or has anyone noticed that Bledsoe rockets the ball on short passes high & hard, basically leaving receivers streched out, exposed to a big hit (if they can catch it) with little or no leverage to absorb a hit.
A good example was the interception that went through Henry's hands yesterday. There was no reason whatsoever to rocket that high, above his head. You'll see the QB's that understand the short yardage game will place the ball to a receiver in the flats at his knees or sslightly below, so the receiver catches the ball and can get 2-3 more yards, because he catches it in a good football (i.e. leverage) position. Kelly, Thurm & Reed were masters of that kind of passing game.
If Blesoe keeps that up, the Bills receivers are going to be walking around looking like this with a helmet on by the end of the season...
