Quote:We bunch up receivers and have them running such that one defender can cover them with some regularity. 

 

No, I naturally don't think they drew it up for them to run into each other, but putting receivers in position where both of them think the throw might be to them is something that certainly can be caused by a bad play design.

 

That's the thing...bunching up wide receivers is supposed to make it difficult for corners to defend their man. This is why even though these receivers are all bunched up, they are running routes of different depths at the very least.

 

It's not a concept that is exclusive only to Jacksonville. Other teams use it just as often as us...they just do it more effectively.
