What if I'm not sure what I was trying to say?
They went to Holt 3-4 times from close to the goal line (left the field position out) on plays I thought were intended to set him up to outjump the defender for the ball, but the play never really came together. That's a play I don't really associate with Torry, more with taller receivers like Bennett, who did score one that way. I always struggle to describe that play and call it a timing route. On further review, isn't every route a timing route? I'll try to describe it instead as an "end zone fade", maybe, in the future.
