Deep Ball Emergence

The NFL 2012 season has just now reached the end of the first quarter mark.  As some may have noted there has been quite a large number of NFL receivers racking up a massive number of receiving yards.  It can be documented that there has been an increase in passing in recent years.  The game has become more explosive, faster, generating more yards and points scored then ever before.  But even with the increasing in passing in NFL offenses, are the number of deep passes being thrown increasing?

Offensive Shift in the NFL

With the speed of the game constantly increasing, and players becoming faster, stronger, and more athletic, the NFL has recently began to change.  Offensive shifts have always occurred.  The game is always changing, progressing.  Offenses always seek to gain the upper hand by unique play-calling, changing systems, or utilization of players in a different way.  From the forward pass, to the run-and-gun or west coast offense, to the spread offense, the NFL will always seek for a new look or new emphasis.  Is the NFL showing signs of verging on an offensive change yet again?
