We run that little swing pass a lot and I've been critical of 2AM for throwing behind the receiver on that route. But it's getting so common that I'm starting to wonder if he's being coached to throw the ball behind the receiver. Seems to me you get an extra 5 yards at least if you throw the ball in front of the receivers. As it is now the receivers have to stop and turn backwards to catch it then take their chances on juking the corner.
Can anybody think of a reason you intentionally throw behind the receiver on a swing pass ? The only explanation I can think of is that it reduces the chance of northern Illinois type pick 6's.
