I think Jaws called it 3 to 1 with 3 being the deep zone and 1 being 5 yards in front of and 5 yards behind the line of scrimage.

On the other hand I was also under the impression that Reid emphasizes short dump offs before going deep as evidenced by the heavy use of Brian Westbrook during his days in Philly. It seems that only recently with the acquisition of Desean Jackson that the team has implemented more deep passes.

Well, just looking deep first doesn't mean that there aren't shorter routes to go to if the deep ball isn't there. It also doesn't help that we don't have an Andre Johnson to make those deep bombs more successful.

I was mainly talking about McNabb's decision-making with us. There were a good chunk of plays where he just went for it all instead of making the safe pass for the sure yards. Then there were times he made said passes but they fell in the dirt. It seems like he was dreaming of T.O. :cheeky-sm
