“That could be a strategy as well,” Canales conceded to the idea. “There were some good throwing and catching on some of the short intermediate stuff.
“But I do know you want to stretch the field at times, and we get these vertical shots called, that we try to make sure that we’re attacking the right coverages, and then from there it’s just confidence and me to you factor and working on that chemistry that happens in practice.”
And as McMillan added, that means understanding it’s also not all on the quarterback.
“We can’t point the finger and put it on Bryce; it’s a collective effort,” preached McMillan. “It comes down to, as well as the receivers, we got to be able to make Bryce’s job easier. We can’t just be possession catchers, you know; we got to be able to get some yards after catch, create explosives for ourselves.
“So, no, it’s not on Bryce at all.”
