Deep Crossing Route

I recently started updating my 2005 stats - primarily adding pass routes -- and I'm seeing one huge difference between '05 and '08.

Here's a good write-up of the deep crossing route from Smartfootball. http://smartfootball.blogspot.com/2009/01/deep-crossing-route-larry-fitzgerald.html

Not counting the four games I still have to review, Quinn was 7 of 7 for 174 yards. Pretty damn remarkable.

In 2008, we didn't even attempt one of these throws. That's not to say that we didn't try to, but just that if we called a play with a deep crossing route, Clausen threw it to somebody else.
