Im not convinced they are. Never once was there a rec coming across the middle. I remember Demski specifically taking a play off and jogging a 10 yrd out. Collaros is on the ground and every rec is 20+ yards down field

Hot routes aren't designed to be thrown over the middle. Although they can be. They are all quick passes designed to exploit a defense who blitzes & vacates a space. The receiver would catch a pass when the defender blitzes & leaves said space.

I'm aware. The blitz the riders were sending often left the middle of the field wide open. A rec never filled it.

Which is where the dearly departed Wolitarski thrived.

Drew was ok but some of you misremembering how important he was. This fascination with drew and Kenny like they make a difference when there’s dudes in and on the qb almost as soon as the ball arrives at times is wild.

I dunno. Some teams run an offense where there isn't a lot of hot routes & sight adjustments. I do know the receivers & qbs have to be on the same page when it comes to recognizing coverages & what routes will be run so the ball can be placed where it's supposed to be. It could also be communication or the type of offense Hogan runs.

I agree. Hot routes or not, there was a lot of blitzing from the Riders which left a lot of open space available in the middle. Nary a Bomber receiver in sight though. Is that on the receivers, Collaros' audibles (Does he even call them?) or an OC, who can't seem to "adjust at half-time"?

I mentioned it earlier in the week, but that's how Khari and Milt made a living back in the day. They both just knew where to go and when to go there.
