I don't have any experience in coaching football or designing plays, so can someone explain to me why a play design would intentionally not have an eligible receiver in the progression at SOME point?
I get it, Olave's responsbility is to clear out the safety. However, what if the safety doesn't clear out, or what if Olave blows past the safety? Why not just have Olave run the route and if he's open he's open and if he's not, he's not?
What we saw Thursday night was literally a waste of an eligible player/receiver.
Seems silly to have him out there running and have him not be a target.

Even if that’s true, the fact that Carr threw a ball 5 yards out of bounds and then acts the way he did is classless.
It was solely for the viewing audience that he hung Olave out to dry like that. He tried to make himself look good at the expense of our top WR weapon and it nearly worked. If that had been a noon game instead of a stand-alone game he’d have gotten away with it.
