I think it is also worth putting out there, Tommy may look like he misses on quite a few deep passes, but he is also attempting more than I think we have seen in recent years. He has connected on a few down the field; I think it was last week he dropped a dime to Maag running down the right side of the field. I think Freund is more confident taking deep shots this year, because IF Tommy misses, it is usually in a way that nobody can get it (though there have been a few close calls), and there is more confidence that if we miss deep on 2nd and long, we will still be able to get the 3rd down, which seems to be getting better every game.
All of that being said, if Tommy can increase the number of connections on those deep balls, Otis and Co. are going to start finding a lot more room to run.
