That is silly. The HC should make 100% sure that his OC and QB 100% understand that the call and execution demand a high percentage throw that is past the sticks.
And especially when he knows he has a career loser QB that is known for giving up on plays and panic throwing deep.
LOL what is silly is to think that a defensive HC is going to override his OC on a play that the OC feels is his best play. AND JJ was open over the middle. DC just made the wrong read. And the throw WAS past the sticks
