[QUOTE="bozz_2006, post: 206637, member: 513"] I'm not trying to argue that the TE will or will not be "open", but being "open" isn't what it's all about. If the timing is right, on any given play, it will be one of those that the commentators and opposing fans talk about as one of those 'perfectly run' plays. if the anticipation is just right, and the WR makes his move at the right time, and the QB throws a good ball at the right time, it doesn't matter if the receiver is open or not, as long as the CB isn't given the opportunity to make a play. that's something that Eli and Plax did all night, making Harris look silly, and something Brett and Driver did not do on that play. i'm not really trying to argue, i'm just trying to illustrate that being 'open' is a bit over-rated. We can't know whether or not the TE is going to be open, and Brett can't know either. And we can't guess what the TE is going to do, I agree with you 100% on that, but Brett can. ... but, yet, there stands Grant, with wide open real estate in front of him, looking back at Brett, looking for the ball. It is unfortunate that this one single play out of an entire game (which most of the Packers players played very poorly) is the defining point of the game (and of the season, for that matter), but like I have said before, that is just one of the characteristics of this game which we all love so much. It's not good, and it's not bad, it's just a part of the game. it is what it is. If the defense is playing poorly (missed tackles, blown assingnments, sloppy coverage, no pass rush), the timing of the offense becomes much less important, but if the defense is playing well (like the Giants were - good coverage, solid tackling, awesome pass rush), timing is everything for the offense. And timing was one thing we didn't have at all on that night. [/QUOTE]
