Except that pass to Knile wasnt a screen, it was an actual attempt by Reid to get his backs downfield with a head of steam
before giving them the ball.
Been bitching about it for atleast 8 games this year... where was the CREATIVITY in getting those 3 playmakers the ball? Most defenses are far too fast to get away with constant screens, they're going to key on guys and chase them down sideline to sideline.
BUT... if you get that ultraquick back going forward at speed and making cuts, that backer or safety covering them stands NO chance at keeping up with them as they receive the ball.
I digress, but that was a major disappointment of mine with Reid this year... sure he'd throw to the backs, but only on a parallel line where defenses could more easily diagnose it and get to it.
