Isn't the deep crossing route a long developing play?

Perhaps some of the lack of inclusion into the game plan has been a result of our inability to take real 5 or 7 step drops and protect the QB... at least in 2007. Or perhaps it is the defense having 7 guys dropping into passing lanes as in 2008.

Just a quick question Spesh, do you record the number of plays in which our offense is blitzed? It might be informative to see if that changed dramatically over the course of the season (with the shift occurring around the time of the UNC game). Some of that will be driven by the teams we played so you may need to look at the last couple of years to draw meaningful information from it. Anyhow just a thought.
