How bad would we have crushed Mariota if he overthrows him there? We’d say “oh you have to give your guy a chance to make a play when he’s that wide open”, right? Well, that’s exactly what he did. He gave Stocker — who isn’t exactly a guy with an extra gear or vertical to make up for it if the throw is a touch too long — a chance to make the play and put them inside the 5-yard line. I have no issue with the placement on this throw, and frankly McDonald is closing on Stocker even before he slows down so he may not even score with a perfect ball. This pretty much coincides with the theory that Mariota throws the ball soft so our receivers can catch them. So, here he under throws on purpose to make sure the ball is caught.

OILERMAN Posted September 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 "How bad would we have crushed Mariota if he overthrows him there?" I thought this was laughable. Of course he'd get slammed if he overthrew a wide open target for an easy TD, why the fuck wouldn't we? Is he worried about Mariota getting crushed or breaking down the play objectively?

japan Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 I’m shocked by this analysis. I was convinced that Mariota was ‘terrible’ before the injury. EagleEye, and TitanDuckFan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a guy who may catch 5 balls all season and was dropping them left and right in camp. Edited September 12, 2018 by japan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike has a lot of respect, people buy into it. The team loses. The first mistake one of the other players on the team makes, they will be after them with the pitchforks. Just wait, let Adoree get beat or God forbid Davis drops a TD pass. The Titans dropped today nine points in the AP power polls. We can deny the truth all we want, but nobody else is. japan, and Huston 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(in that he had to adjust his arm angle/feet/timing/etc). I think the Miami pass rush affected the pass game more than people are willing to admit. (Somewhat a testament to the "disruption is production" perspective). In a world where Mariota is credited with a lousy throw (which was a completion), how should we characterize Lewan when he's literally trying to ride out a DE who beat him inside and is running right through the middle of the pocket? Worse than Mariota, honestly. TNTitans 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyrus Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 It also doesn't help to look at all of these in a black or white manner. I agree that the throw to Stocker could have been better, and possibly (not certainly) could have been a TD. It's not a terrible throw, that's nonsense. The other throws were arguably more the product of pass pressure. Pragidealist 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
