So why did Bevell repeatedly use them over and over? I get that they can be useful in certain situations. I didn't say they should never be used, but for Bevell it seems like his "go to" play, even though he didn't have the personnel to make them work. Golden Tate hasn't been with the Seahawks since 2014. He was gone when I started noticing the bubble screen passes. Tyler Lockett was never targeted in the bubble screens I saw. He was always sent vertical to draw away DB's. Doug Baldwin was the main target for the bubble screens I saw and he has pretty average speed for a WR (4.47/40) and one of the passes was to the RB at the time, Thomas Rawls who ran a 4.65/40 at the Combine. Does this sound like the kind of personnel you would want to use for a bubble screen? No way. This just goes to show the guy had no idea what he was doing. I'll be the first to admit, I have a bad memory when it comes to football plays, but this one has been something that has stuck out to me for many years, because it was so bad.

Have you seen him play? Doug Baldwin is very quick and shifty, so is Golden Tate, so is Lockett.  All were the primary bubble screen guys along with some to Kearse who also wasn't slow. Not sure if you remember but Baldwin tested lights out at his pro day and had a 6.5 3 cone, he's really good laterally , which is what you are looking for with bubble screens.   

Once again, you don't know what you're talking about.
