Didn't seem to me that he needed to go deep. The 31-7 score would indicate the offense had a pretty good thing going. If another team focuses on the short passing game, Saunders will start throwing the ball a little farther. When the defense falls back to cover the longer passing plays we'll go pack to the short passing game.

Last year Mark went deep quite a few times. I'd be concerned if he has never shown the ability to get the ball downfield. Ask Roy Williams if he can still throw the ball deep.
