The 70 yard bomb to Dural down the East Sideline from Jennings. Many saw that as a great play, but ATVS and I saw it as a bad throw


you're analyzing this play incorrectly, IMO. Jennings was rolling to his left, had a linebacker (or safety) charging him, saw Dural wide open and chunked it deep. That is a very difficult throw across your body. Based on the fact that he was rolling left, the play probably wasn't even designed for a deep throw, Dural's was basically a clear-out route, but he was so open Jennings could make the play.

I see what you are saying that it is a hard throw, but BH can make that throw much better than AJ.

It was a badly blown coverage, nobody was within 30 yards of Dural, and AJ simply did not want to over throw him. He almost did the same thing to Dupre on a busted coverage play when Chi was so wide open, but Chi adjusted to the ball and caught it. AJ put a little too much air under the ball to Dural which allowed a DB to run Dural down.

I played WR in high school (yes I know it's just high school.. Lol) but our coaches always told our QB to never try and lead a receiver too much when he's that far behind the defense in fear of overthrowing the WR and blowing what could've been a huge gain. Not at all saying that's what happened but maybe that was in his head. Or maybe he just couldn't get it far enough?? He definitely could've undert-threw it a little less! Lol
