re: Travin Dural vs. Amari Cooper stats

Jennings has completed plenty of passes to people not named Dural. His stat of six catches should make that obvious.

Seriously. It seems everyone forgets the other completions he has thrown. Everyone claiming he just throws the long ball to Dural must have selective memory. Those passes to Diarse, Quin, Fournette and Dupre looked very good to me. In the Arkansas game he completed passes to WRs, RBs and TEs. He spread the ball around in his first meaningful opportunity. If ever he was going to focus on one option, it would have been then. In his first game he spread it more than Mett in his second year of starting.

If your first look is one on one against Dural long, that is the throw you take. No reason to check down. Not as long as it is working. Now if the competition stops that, then your first look is double covered, then you check down to Diarse, Quin, Fournette or a TE. Unlike some, I think its great we have established the long ball. And we have shown the ability to throw the intermediate pass. Still some work to do on the short pass. Jennings will be fine. And for that matter, so will Harris. Next year this time, we will have 2 of the better QBs in the SEC on our team sharing time. A double whammy for opposing Ds.
