The long pass completion to Zach Miller last night highlighted one of the biggest threats we get with Percy Harvin: His ability to scare defenses and soak up over-the-top coverage. They really have no choice but to push the free safety over to Harvin when he is wide. This is going to open up a lot of middle action for us this year, and I think the likes of Miller, Willson and others are going to eat it up, not to mention backs coming out of the backfield on angle routes.
Harvin was split wide left, Miller motioned over from the right wing to the left. Miller had a free release and easily got behind the linebackers and the strong safety who got lulled into Wilson's play fake. Perfect throw from Wilson.
FYI, good blitz pick up on that play by Derrick Coleman to help give that play a chance to blossom.
See the picture here. Miller is in the red circle, and you can see Harvin has already smoked the corner and Wilson could have hit him for a big gainer (if not a TD) also.
Now imagine the dilemma when Richardson is split on the other side. And imagine the impact this will have on our running game as well, both for the backs and for Wilson to scramble.
It's not going to be fun for defensive coordinators this season. :th2thumbs:
