Line of scrimmage was the 39 and the ball was thrown from the 34-35 yard line. He got a good run and launched it almost 70 yards. As was mentioned earlier, it was a perfect throw.
Jamarcus Russel could have made that throw sitting on a toilet...he also would have had his 300 pound ass on the turf on that play too. Rogers did have to do a bit of escaping to get his run for the toss.
