Absolutely what I was saying.. just throw it.

I don't trust our crappy O-line, because I think Quinn is not going to pan out as a quality OL coach. That was Kelly resorting to hiring a buddy, and very few of those have worked out.

So given the crappy OL play (if you want to argue that's on BK for a crappy OL I won't argue) but given what Long has to work with up front, and the proven effectiveness of this short TE pass, I have no issue with the play call. Book has to just throw it. There were opportunities to hit both Wright or Weishar in this situation.

My feeling is that the OL is going to be worse the farther they get away from Hiestand, but a few still have the skills they learned under him. As our young players get older it will really show itself.
