Desmond Howard with some great insight there:

"Desmond, how frustrating is it for a DC to drop 8 back in coverage and still have the QB play pitch and catch?"

Desmond's response, "frustrating, very frustrating."

 

[hokiehi21]

cover somebody!! with the wind tonight, no way these QBs can drop in a perfect pass with the receiver covered
