Problem with that route was the Pope was running sideways with a defender draped on him, it would have been tough to get the first even if he caught the ball. That pattern can work if no one picks him like, like a pass to a fullback in the flat. But the second Cassel saw a defender close by, he should have scanned the field, others were open past the sticks. I am sure there is a pic in the Gif'd up thread showing that, knowing the Horsey.

Dunn wasn't flashy but he was solid. Good player. On the play in question I believe Bowe was ahead of his man crossing the middle. We're gradually getting better but we're handicapped at the QB position.
