A good play by Teddy that many chastised him for.

This is a really good play by Teddy. Good pocket awareness, footwork, and throw. 

(Video from @4outmanrush )

DJ Moore has to learn to find the soft spot in the zone and sit there. Keep running into the next defender isn't what he needed to do. Ball is exactly where it should have been. DJ was not.

 

Noticed a few people trashing Teddy in the gameday thread after this throw. Felt it needed correcting.

[parker]

Yeah.  That was the soft spot in the zone.  IF it was thrown more to the right, it would have been picked.

[blackcat]

You're spot on.  This is a catch Olsen would've made as he know how to find those soft spots in the D.

Yeah, that is Olsen's bread and butter. Catch it in the soft spot and lay down, YACs be damned. 

[BrianS]

Good receivers should feel that soft spot and settle there.  Teddy was not wrong here.

Looks like DJ actually just lost his footing more than anything. In the live coverage it looked like a bad throw because you get that idiotic TV angle and the TV cameras are showing so little.

Ahh DJ is just a little out of position.  I think he'll improve there.  It's clear he wasn't feeling it Sunday, but he's too talented not to bounce back with this O.

[Mr. Scot]

Without a preseason, you've got to expect some of these kinds of issues.

It's only a problem if it doesn't get better as the season goes along.

We need to start developing receivers. We’ve never done that. We should start. Not just develop tight ends, we have a good history with them. Dj is s fumble waiting to happen until he shows otherwise.

Development isn't the issue. You see our guys go to other teams and not develop there either. Talent evaluation is the issue. You can't make a player be great that doesn't want to be great.

I don’t think what you said is wrong. Hurney has a history at this point. Why he’s still on as gm while we clean house elsewhere is mind boggling to me. Brandon LaFell did much better in New England than here. Why did we keep bring bersin back for all those years? Seemed lazy and cheap to me. However we do it, dj ain’t that guy sadly. 

[Call Me James]

He could have gotten the ball out a little earlier or DJ could have sat on the route. 

Teddy is new here and Moore is on his 4th QB in 12 months.

you mean when he was sidestepping the defender?
