For some reason sideline routes have become a bit passé be with a bigger focus on dagger and wheel routes.The dagger and wheel routes over the middle end up closer to the hash marks in the 5-15 yard range.
They are doing that because more teams are playing high cover 2 (2 deep safeties). you also have NFL LBs doing more pass coverage with some crazy good pass rush D-lines.
So all of that combined means more tipped/deflected balls by the D-lines and LBs, which the safeties are picking off. You also see broken plays from entanglements near the line of scrimmage. This means that the short distance timing throws end up on the ground or in the wrong hands.
It's been a great start to the season so far. Games have been very entertaining.

Ha yeah.
Is it me or is it real interception heavy these first few weeks? Even mahomes getting in on the action. Better secondaries, new playbooks?
