[QUOTE=GTripp0012;566487]A ten yard cushion is meaningless when he's 20 yards down the field.
If he's even five yards behind the safety, then he's "wide" open by NFL standards. Having a safety standing right over him at the first down marker does not give any possible way to complete a pass.
It means you throw the ball to the wr and let him have a chance at makin a play.
the first down was 17 yds away. big cushion
