Mechanics
After his 2016 injury, Wilson’s mechanics never really recovered into 2017. He was throwing off un-set platforms and the result was inaccurate passes. This was particularly noticeable on deep balls. These mechanics appeared fully sharpened this pre-season.
That’s what made his 3rd and 1 miss so bemusing. The play design is a speed bootleg. Wilson is reading hi-lo—so don’t criticize him for passing up the open Tre Madden in the flat; criticize the play-design if you have an issue.
(Wilson does have a situational problem with holding out for the bigger gain rather than taking the shorter available yards, we didn’t see it this time)
The hi option, Nick Vannett, is wide open beneath the deep zone coverage as the entire Denver second-level underneath zone coverage gets sucked up.
