I am beginning to wonder if the Ferentzes have Petras on somewhat of a leash telling him not to hold the ball too long or improvise and go with the primary receiver.
If you have this play on tape watch it and there are a lot of plays like this in many of the games. Otherwise I will describe it. First play of 2nd hawk drive against nebby with ball at the iowa 45.
Three wideouts, two on a left tracy in the slot left, one split out on right looks like Ragaini with a fullback and tailback. At snap their is playaction and Petras drops back and he is under no pressure. Tracy is coming on a crossing pattern while the corner tries to jam Ragaini or whoever is split to the right. The corner crosses up his own feet and gets a bit of a jam but then Ragaini starts racing downfield down the numbers near the sideline.
Tracy, crossing left to right, gets just behind and splits a couple lbkrs and their deep safety takes a look at tracy and then looks and half steps toward Ragaini.
Ragaini is blowing by the safety and IS open and going to be more open for a nice lofted pass maybe for a TD. Petras tries to fit the ball between the lbkrs and it is a tight window and an incompletion. Another 1/2 second and Ragaini is gone (although he wasnt looking back yet).
These are the types of open receivers I see quite often and I sure hope there is some QB coaching to lift Petras to seeing these things.
