Is an interesting article that could explain why CJ didn’t get many intermediate targets. I would suspect that if the Lions were routinely seeing defenses designed to stop the pass and that the extra defenders were generally used to double CJ that intermediate routes would be the most difficult for CJ to get open on. 11-15 yards is pretty much where a safety would be lining up to double CJ.
