How do you know what the route adjustment was built into the play call? Your saying the offensive coordinator called a play where the wide receiver had no responsibility on the route and the QB knew that and threw it anyway?
I’m saying the QB misread the defense. The play call very much looks like four verticals, which could include a back shoulder throw on the fade route against man coverage, but I can’t imagine Haener makes that throw if he sees the DB sitting on it.
