Number9 Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 The ball was coming out Sunday. I think they used the practice horn a lot more. Throw it to your read or throw it away. Looking @@nine film, you can see it. These are the plays we have been talking about that have been there all along. He's throwing the ball instead of waiting until the dbs with world class speed start closing. The pass to AJB before would have been right where he turned away from the defense. TD would have been no catch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

freakingeek Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 When he's decisive and playing with confidence,he's good. He calls a lot audibles. Sunday will be a good test against the Bills D. Buffalo has probably been watching tape of the Jax game all week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no doubt that this had a negative influence on his past development...and I was optimistic that Marcus would be noticeably better this year with upgraded talent and coaching stability. He looked very good last week..but we saw way too much of the “same old-same old” in the games leading up to that. We’ve documented numerous plays where Marcus has protection and was staring at an open receiver but refused to throw it...and eventually took a sack instead. Those plays are 100% on him...everyone else did their jobs. Being good half the time isn’t enough...and the organization no longer has time to wait around to see if he improves. Nobody is asking him to work miracles; he just has to do his job when everyone else does theirs. He did a very good job last week ....but he’s gotta show that he can do it every week. Only doing it half the time ain’t gonna cut it. Number9, headhunter, BudsOilers, and 1 other 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrill Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Anyone notice that he’s been doing the McVay/Goff thing with Art this year. He runs up to the line like it’s a hurry up and then (I’m assuming here) talks with Art for half a sec and makes pre snap adjustments with the line. I think it’s really cool that Art continued with that piece of McVay’s coaching scheme along with some stuff from Mularkey and Munchak. He’s really gonna be a jack of all trades OC. He doesn’t have a “signature scheme.” Adaptability is a good thing for coaches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzTitan Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 I'm sure he's done multiple reads on successful plays before, but you wouldn't want to design an offense around him that asks him to do that regularly. Or at least you couldn't expect a lot of success if your offense is not designing successful first reads against the defense at the time (which is where the inconsistency probably stems from a lot of the time).

prometheus Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 I can't help but believe that the Bills game will be major in the perception of whether he is capable of consistently good play. If he is able to effectively avoid the DL rush, avoid turnovers, and select receivers with good throws who are in the process of gaining separation, then the confidence of fans and the coaching staff will surge. To say nothing about the effect on his fellow teammates. We will see. 40-60 chance imo. pro pat, Number9, and IsntLifeFunny 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills are going to shut down the first read, then we see how fast he can find another target. But that’s the thing. Reading defenses is done pre-snap. He should know what the first two options are based on the defense and situation. The thing in the booth nowadays with Tony Romo being around is being able to tell where the play should go based on the defensive and offensive sets. And that has nothing to do with new OC or anything...it’s just football. And from the Indy game, on the last play, he chose to throw to a rookie WR being covered by a 3rd year CB, as opposed to going to a 3rd year receiver being covered by a 2nd string rookie CB. That’s just stuff he should know. Edited October 5, 2019 by Righteous headhunter, OILERMAN, nine, and 2 others 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
