Pretty sure Nelson stated that he'd seen that route a few times already and was prepared for it, or something to that effect.

Basically, they knew what was coming.

They knew what was coming. And it was covered. That's on Brady. But Sam made a bad read and a bad decision and threw the ball. That's on Sam.

Just now, Mr. Scot said:

Well, it's more of an "aware" play than a physical effort play.

It also says something about our playcalling.

i wouldnt say great is defined by just your physicality. Having the mental awareness around what route Robby was running isnt done by mediocre decision making. It's done by great decision making.

but he is under duress, he is unable to step up and make the throw. I dont know what Steve is referring to. Im just stating that its possibel he got the two mixed up.

The throw isn't the issue in that play. The ball was placed perfectly.... if there weren't any defenders there. The problem is there were defenders there. And Sam still threw it.

hit up Steve and let him know then... like i said I was only calling out that he could have been referring to Nelson and not Slay

I will continue to support our QB Sam Darnold until he proves he cannot perform behind a good offensive line, something we presently do not have.

Bashers on the Huddle need to cool the attacks on Sam until we have a good offensive line and then we will be able to evaluate his performances a lot more fairly.

The other interception I haven't posted yet for anyone who wants to see it again. Starts at 8:48. Plenty of time to throw. Steps into his throw and throws right to the defender. 

So... in conclusion, he wasn't actually being hit on any of these interceptions and was in duress for maybe one of them.

 Doesn't look like he is being hit to me... 

With three defenders in the area. He made some bad decisions with the football that will lose teams games that's all there is to it. Now it's up to him Joe B and Matt Rhule to figure it out. The line is what it's going to be for the next 12 games and that is not good and it's on our gm Scott Fitterer.

    • Sounds like #37 gonna miss the whole road trip.  
    • I didn't realize Robidas is Stankoven sized lol
    • No, but considering that over a third (~35%) of their schedule are the other three teams in the NFC South and all three have strong starting (and back-up) RBs that the offense leans heavily on to open up the pass game. ATL: Bijan has this season and next season before the Falcons have to make a decision on his fifth-year option, Tyler Allgeier is a proven back-up RB that could start for some teams, and 2024 sixth-round selection Jase McClellan returns from a knee injury that sidelined him for the remainder of the season starting in early September. Combine that with their QB situation, and that's a team that is going to lean heavily on the run just like they did last season when they were 8th in the league in rushing attempts, 10th in rushing yards, 8th in rushing TDs, 9th in rushing attempts on 1st down, . NO: Similar situation as ATL, but for different reasons. Derek Carr is in the second to last year of his deal and the QBs behind him are Spencer Rattler, Jake Haener, and Ben DiNucci. However, they also have Alvin Kamara. One thing that we know about Kellen Moore from his stints as an OC is that he likes to lean heavily on a versatile RB1 while bringing in an arguably equally versatile RB2 to keep their foot on opposing defenses. When Moore had Zeke in Dallas, Zeke was 4th in the league in touches during those four years but Pollard still averaged 10 touches and nearly 60yds a game. Look for the Saints to shore up their RB room in the draft with Kendre Miller, CEH, Jordan Mims, and Xazavian Valladay all competing for touches behind Kamara. TB: Bucky Irving exploded onto the scene last season, but we can't forget more than capable (now-)RB2 Rachaad White. White is on the last year of his rookie deal, but Irving is under contract until 2028. Last season, the Bucs were 10th in rushing attempts, 4th in rushing yards, 3rd in YPC, 7th in carries of 20+, 8th in carries of 40+, and 7th in first down rushing attempts and that helped Baker Mayfield be one of the most efficient passers in the league with a 71.4% completion percentage (good enough for 2nd in the league).
