Pretty wild.

I don't know if it is so much about running the wrong routes. Maybe its more about the timing of the route, or free lancing the route to get open. Rather than running the route to a depth of say 15 yards, he is juking his way to a depth of 25 yards.

That might work if the QB is sticking with the one read, but if the QB moves off the read because it wasn't open or the receiver wasn't where he was supposed to be at 15 yards, it might look like the QB is missing open looks.
