To me, this has nothing to do with Sam vs Lanning.
This has to do with recruiting a stud in Allen Lazard. A 6'5 beast. You recruit him to be a difference maker on your team. Well, he had single coverage, Lanning made the right read and let the STUD go make a play. He did and turned it into 6.
Instead of simply saying it was a great play by Lazard, he says it's a pass that shouldn't have been made. Why?
Control freak? The pass was suppose to be a run?
