Not sure what you're trying to accomplish here. Had time, bad throw, wouldn't have been much of a gain anyway

[ZeroZeroSeven]

I see decent protection, happy feet by Cam, 3 crossing patterns in the same general area. 

 

It couldn't have been any easier for Minnesota to defend because that play was drawing all the defenders to the same general area.  

[Nick_81]

The main takeaway for me?

 

Happy feet. No confidence in his protection even in those rare times the pocket is kept relatively clean.

Nah, that's good technique.  Supposed to keep the feet moving like that.

Imagine if that were Amini fighting off that guy

 

i don't think amini was 100% healthy at all this season

[CRA]

Bell's man looks like he isn't trying to rush (probably playing contain), which probably explains the cleanish pocket.

Wonder what down and distance was....

Interesting possibility.

tight end flashed then kept going to his left for some reason. Cam threw it where he originally turned. 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

#13 is jogging, #84 is jogging. Nobody is running a good route. The one guy who isn't running half speed gets underthrown.

Not really underthrown there was no where else he could put that ball. Wrs route was designed to stop and not continue across the field like a normal drag or slant. From what I see nobody is open

[CelibatePimp]

Observe that route with KB. There's a small window there to hit him and if you get it right, he likely gets YAC cos he's in stride. These are some of the little things I've been talking about.

Olsen kept drifting and wasn't able to sit immediately. He had the defender coming from Olsen's left side and threw it a little to the right. The ball still hit Olsen in the hands. Could it have been an inch closer to the left? Sure.

Cam really didn't have anywhere to go with that ball and with the linebackers dropping back he didn't have anywhere to take off either.

Like you said not sure what's trying to be accomplished here either. Good play call by the Vikes and there wasn't much Cam could've done.

i don't know what the original formation was, but the most noticeable thing i see is newton only looking at one side of the field and holding onto the ball too long. he's telegraphing to the defense where he's going to throw.

the ball should already be on it's way to the receiver (olsen?) by the time he turns around.

[UNCrules2187]

Decent blocking from Norwell and Remmers.  Heck, even Bell holds his own in that clip.

 

Saw Stewart head out left, probably into the flat as a checkdown.

 

Wide open passing lane in the middle early but by the time the receivers come into view it's gone. 

 

Still, Newton had some opportunities there.  Held it a little longer than I'd like and in the end didn't make a very good throw.  I think Benjamin might have been the better option.

 

Agree with this. A subtle pump or head fake could have gotten the LB to vacate and leave the middle wide open for the Benjamin slant.

He has 3 routes that all cross in the same area of the field....he is reading 3 routes at once.

The play design telegraphs the ball is going to a clustered area....not Cam.

Plus he has to hold it for those first 2 routes while the dropping guy establishes his intent....could be an easy INT otherwise on a quick one

[GoobyPls]

happy feet, Cam holding the ball too long and 3 crossing routes basically in the same location
