Haskins had the underneath wide open but good for him to not take that (in this situation) since he had good pass pro with 4 wideouts running deep routes to try and take a chance.
Route running or play calling gets me though. Bunching and a lack of space has been a problem, especially in the first half of the season. I heard JP and others talk about this. Is it Turner's play calling or players running lazy routes?
Here, 2 of the 3 guys bunched wide to the right, the 2 inside WRs of the 3 bunch run practically right next to each other for 15 yards down field then break off at their stems.

How do we post these gif plays? Mark Bullock has a lot of these in his twitter feed and it makes talking plays a lot easier.

My point is Wright should at least know about where Sims would be ending up, and not make a beeline for that same spot. I also think every WR needs to be aware of spacing and where he is leading the defenders. I think in the GIF it is clear that Wright hits the top of his route, looks back and sees Haskins running right, so he takes off toward the deep route, instead of moving to an open space at the level he broke off his route.
