Look how wide open Sproles is. It goes back to Drew wanting to force everything down field instead of taking what's there.

I would agree. I always find myself wondering when he throws the ball to a receiver with 3 -4 defenders around him, there was no one else open?? Thanks to that clip, I finally got an answer. How far you think Sproles would have got with how open he was?

Further then what Colston would have gotten had he made the catch

Look at Drew getting pulverized just as he releases the ball. It goes back to being on the field and making split second decisions while getting the crap pounded out of you by three hundred pound behemoths rather than watching a slo-mo gif three days after the fact from the comfort of your living room.

Which is another reason not to try and force it down the field and I said it immediately when he threw the ball. Between the 4 man rush and the LB's and DB's in the middle of the field there was 8 men between the hash marks and no one outside on Sproles. All I'm saying is that at times especially when we are behind Drew wants to get all the yardage in huge chunks instead of working in down the field. He zeros on one receiver and doesn't look at anyone else. Same thing he did before half, he didn't look anywhere else but at Graham. Sometimes it works sometimes it bites us. This was one of those times. It wasn't 2 minutes left in the game, we still had almost 2 quarters to go to force that throw.
