Part of this is a problem of modern QB coaches. Today we allow shorter QB's. Moss is 6'1 Barely.
No longer looking for 6'5 statues whose arms are a couple inches longer. Gaining you about 6-7 inches.
Another is that more guys are being allowed to do hat's comfortable and throw 3/4 arm, not over the top. As was forced for years.
Combine those two and DL guys have another foot to work with.
And Branch and Moss disconnect again. Longer pass Should not ever throw to him except short crosses.
3rd and 4. I run it twice here. You can afford a 3-0 score with the ball in Minn hands. 3-3 gains nothing. 7-3 already has PJ Schembechler Fleck pissing in his pants.
