So it's dumb to send Vaughn on a deep route. He has WAY too much value as a decoy. Dumb.
HOWEVER, that was a really solid route. Good coverage by the safety, but a pretty solid route nonetheless. If he can consistently run those routes and make catches, he might have an NFL career yet. [Reply]

No, it's a safe play. Takes the decision out of Wills hands. And worst case is acts like a punt if intercepted. He catches it its game. Was a good play by the defender to keep Deuce off of touching it.
