Throwing over the middle

[ewabeach76]

Their must be a reason we "hardly" throw over the middle of the field. I vividly remember Tim chang, coach rolovich, greg alexander, and even jason wheldon throwing over the middle of the field. Maybe resulting in some costly interceptions. What's the reason people? I think we got too many weapons to be just running outs and streak plays We dont even run the run plays that nate ilaoa was so successful at.

our RB as a pass catcher is pretty nonexistent. Brennan used to throw to our RB in a flare/swing route. Perhaps our QB can't make that throw or the RB's hands are not too reliable? I remember Brennan or a coach once say its the toughest throw to make.

I think at times we get into panic mode and try to throw too deep when underneath is open.It leads to 3 and outs, and stalled drives.

We are watching two different games. We throw over the middle a lot. Depending on the situation i.e. on 3rd down in many cases it is also harder to throw over the middle against 8 deep. You are throwing against three LBs, three DBs and two safties.
