I think this is correct.. It's tough for Rogers to find an open receiver when there are so many playing pass defense. Also, I'm not convinced our receivers, Williams excluded, are giving the effort they should be giving to get open. Rogers had plenty of time against LSU to find someone open, but he looked and looked and couldn't find anybody, so he checks down to the RB who has a guy waiting on him and maybe gains 2 or 3 yards.
