Vernon's deadliest routes with Smitty were the wheel and the underneath stuff.
You're not going to find a whole lot of tape of VD just eating on 25 yard seams with Alex at QB.
The deep seam action would be there. But we weren't hitting those with any kind of regularity with Smitty.
Walker ran a deep seam against Baltimore in 2011. Very early in the game.
WIDE OPEN. Smitty throws the check down.
He talks about it after the game and he says, "I saw it. But I didn't want to go to it right away. I thought the opportunity would be there later in the game."
It wasn't.
