He cant step into that throw or he gets kneecapped and went back and looked. TitanDuckFan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith moving the pocket with the sprint right/left calls and the bootleg were great additions to the game plan. I don't recall seeing much of that last year. I never understood why Lafleur wouldn't do this. It seemed obvious. bosss50, and TitanDuckFan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn’t a great pass, but it wasn’t a bad pass. I think Davis May have heard footsteps and short armed it, but I’d have to rewatch. That isn’t an easy throw. It was from a completely clean pocket. This is a 6'3 WR with long arms who had to jump and extend completely and could barely get his fingertips on it. If there was a field level shot, it would show how high it really was The whole, "hE was the #5 pick! He should be able to catch uncatchable passes!"

Notice how little Davis’ feet are off the ground. He had a chance at that ball. It wasn’t a great pass, but it wasn’t a bad pass.

It wasn’t a great pass, but it wasn’t a bad pass. How could you possibly tell from that angle? He looks like he's several feet in the air. And the pass barely grazed his fingers. It was a bad throw. This isn't as ridiculous as that Pittsburgh debate, but it's a bad throw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m okay if it’s called a bad pass, but it wasn’t some terrible miss. Davis had a shot at that ball. bosss50 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a chance at that ball. It wasn’t a great pass, but it wasn’t a bad pass. The way I like to settle these arguments is: How many of these, "not a great pass but the receiver should make a play" conversations are we gonna have on minimal targets? We don't throw it a lot, the receiver barely has a chance to get his hands warm. So in situations where he's open, how about he get a high percentage of accurate tight-window throws with the odd wayward pass that he has to make a play on thrown in? Let the guy get a rhythm. This is how a guy like Philip Dorsett is absolute shit on one team and then catches two TDs on Sunday Night Football on another. I'm not saying he's all-pro but the difference when you have a QB that regularly hits you in stride speaks volumes.

Davis attempted to make a play on a erratic high throw. That's the only reason his hands were anywhere close to it Edited September 9, 2019 by abc2330 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
begooode Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 (edited) Ex-player college told me one time that the direct overhead catch was waaay harder then in looks because of full arm extension through the shoulder pads and squeezing the ball directly over your head with nothing else to stop the ball momentum. I dunno, esp with the gloves these guys wear these days, but I look for it now. Edited September 9, 2019 by begooode pat 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rewatched it last night and that was also my takeaway. Maybe I’m wrong, but to call it some terrible throw doesn’t make sense to me. The throw to Sharp was a terrible throw. The one in the end zone to Brown was a terrible throw. That was not a bad pass. Slightly high but within reach. bosss50, and TitanDuckFan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bizzyeddie Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 1 hour ago, IsntLifeFunny said: Overall I thought he showed pretty good game awareness, other than the sack you mentioned, and it led to an efficient if unspectacular performance. Honestly, if he can consistently play that well while having some big games we can be in business. If he can consistently be an average QB while maintaining the upside he showed against the Eagles/Pats/Dal then we are a tough out. my thoughts exactly...and I think if he stays healthy for the whole season we may start to seem some more out of him on a consistent basis as the season goes along. as far as yesterdays game goes he's still healthy and we got a win. good start for MM. heyitsmeallen 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariota has a better game than most of them even with the misses. Did you watch Rothleisberger, Rodgers, Trubisky, Winston, Allen, Darnold...etc. They were fucking awful. Our QB wasn’t and had an efficient game. Quit fucking bitching for one week. bosss50, and heyitsmeallen 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
