We do not have these basic reads by both the WR and QB.
It is there, but it may be too infrequent.
You mean it's there in the code, but it only happens in the game with certain plays. The only time I see this happen is with a few select plays out of the 113 set where the QB throws an immediate dart to the slot WR who is running a slant. (I can dig up examples if you want, but I don't really want to.)
I've only seen this happen when a QB and team have a proficient knowledge of a play, which we've discussed ad nauseam is too difficult to achieve. My team in 19 has run certain plays over 300 times in game situation and barely has 75% play knowledge after multiple years.
The real kicker though is that these quick slant throws are subject to the same penalties as any other under pressure throw and are more likely to be picked off than completed.
So not only does this happen infrequently, it's a hindrance to teams.
