Anyone a little perplexed on very little passes to Bushman the last two games?

On that big play against TN, there were 4-5 guys paying attention to Bushman..

That is my point. If he is that good, you still throw to him.

9/19/19 8:19am
I don't think you throw to him unless he's open. If he's getting double or triple-teamed, somebody else is open.

If you have Collie AND Pitta, opposing team can't double-team them both.

When your argument starts to look silly, go for snark.

I didn't make an argument. I made an observation. The observation is true.

That's the philosophy of the USC coach that cost him the game

We didn't beat USC solely because they double teamed bushman all game.

Milne wasn't open and Wilson got the ball to him for a td.

Umm.... he had separation when the ball came out. The DB closed after the ball was released.

It’s been incredibly encouraging to see how ZW has responded. He’s very comfortable throwing it to the open guy

Zach has 10 completions of 18 or more yards in 2019
