Do you have a breakdown of where they've been thrown, like left side under 10 yards; right side, between 10-20 yards; middle, over 20? I know we've been throwing it short a lot this season, it would be interesting to see exactly how much.

I'd say 5-6 a game over 20yrds in the last two games......hopefully he's nearly 100%...He looked close to last year's form in the 2nd half of the Floriduh game.....His pass to Dunn was sweet!! Nice zip!
