There were 4 route runners and the RB as a safety valve. All four of the receivers ran a 4 or 5 yard hitch to the right, the Panthers were ready to react and jump to the ball. Still a bad pass by EJ, he should have thrown the ball to TJ's feet.
Barring injury, I can see him being a top 3 finalist, at least.
I'm a ball follower during the game unless it's a really bad play, can you give examples of him struggling today? I really didn't notice him.
Fred is awesome.
This much is true and is the big difference in his game from previous years. He would run all the way with the WR but could not make a play on the ball, though it is certainly tough to play CB in this league if you don't or can't pressure the QB and that was a big part of playing DB for the Buffalo Bills the last couple of years.
