Heyward-Bey vs Dri Archer

[winwithd]

Did I not see it right or did DHB not even look back for the ball on the INT? I realize Ben threw it into double-coverage too. I am wondering what DHB brings to this team. Our Special Teams suck and I thought that was part of his ticket onto this team. Part of this question is wondering, if Dri Archer is listed as RB/WR why we dont see him at WR more often. Moore hasnt given a whole at WR either has he? I imagine one of the knocks against Archer at RB is that he cant pass block well so it tips off the defense a little bit. Couldnt he be used to stretch the field though?

Also I didnt notice much of Bryant in the second half. Was he in the game in the second half?

I understand we have other problems, but big plays seem to be a way to get TDs vs FGs. Bryant brings that ability and I wonder if Archer would too at WR.

He could have looked up at god for all it mattered. Ben threw it to the DB. Bey was the defender there, keeping the DB from making yards, and not the WR trying to catch the ball. He did his job OK.

Bryant has vanished these past 2 games. Today he dropped a gimme TD. He cut in too shallow and caused an Int against the Titans.

Two wasted spots on the roster.

DHB kind of stopped then saw the ball and started but it was too late

He's running downfield. He has to look to see where the Ball is being thrown. You cant seriously be throwing into that kind of double coverage when there's no need to.
A few plays later Ben threw a yard inside Wheaton, for what may have been a long gain.

Ben doesnt get a pass for throwing it but DHB hesitated a bit before the ball came down.

If he doesn't hesitate, perhaps he gets a shot at an offensive PI. He had no chance of getting to where the ball was landing, turning around, and pretending to catch it even.
That pass was pure evil.

it was DHB vs. 2 Defenders. The Safety had the best path to the ball by far. That was all on BEN.

I think it was a "why the hell are you throwing me the ball when I have 2 guys bracketing me?" hesitation...
