Harper Says TD Wasn't On Him

It looked like a blitz with zone coverage to me. No way Lukes responsibility was deep middle from the MLB. Had to be Harpers fault. I blame the coaching too though, Harper should have been the one blitzing and Boston should be staying back because you can't trust Harper back there by himself

May not have been. Looked like Luke tried to jump something underneath. He had TE then broke off of him.

 

It looked like a Hybrid man/zone with Kuechly disguised as a blitzing linebacker. The fact that Kuechly was showing blitz puts a lot of it on Harper because there is no possible way Kuechly can be responsible for the entire middle of the field if he's not in the natural position of a middle linebacker.

 

Luke looked like he was playing zone and Harper looked like he was playing man.

 

Luke had the shell underneath and I think Harper was supposed to have the shell behind him, however Harper played the Z wide receiver and once Cameron got behind Luke it was over.

i blame the defensive play call. all but 3 guys rushed the qb. field was wide open. i saw it before the snap. horrible play call.

it was a gutsy call that didn't work.   McDermott would occasionally do this in Philly.  His best work comes when he doesn't get greedy, and/or the line does the work.  

 

I don't know if Harper was right or wrong.  Everyone else had someone so he had to get to Cameron, but you don't want Harper in man on Jordan Cameron down the seam either.

Yea let's not jump to conclusions here.  Luke had Cameron over the middle and jumped to cover an underneath route, but Cameron ran right past him.  I had a bad feeling about that play right from the beginning.  Defense was sending the farm and leaving the coverage out on islands.

      I must apologize, my sarcasm at times doesnt translate well in text form lol. At this point I would welcome us signing him, Trey Lance, trading for Jameis Winston, asking about Deshaun Watson and playing phone tag with Tom Brady before I ever fully entertain a season of Bryce Young being the defacto Starting Quarterback of the Panthers.

      Bryce is elite at deep throws

      By beckersteen · Posted

      We had a QB who could do that and its the last time we went to the Super Bowl and the only time we had an MVP. Once he lost his ability to do that he was out of the league. To filter out insignificant stats I will only look at QBs who have played in 10 or more games this year. There are 28 qualifying QBs. Bryce is 25th in Air Yards per Attempt at 6.4. Only Joe Flacco, Cam Ward, and Dillon Gabriel are worse (6.0, 5.8, 5.1). Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, and CJ Stroud are the median QBs at 7.1. Drake Maye and Sam Darnold lead the league at 8.7. Bryce is 18th in the league for passes that travel 30+ yards at 12. The median is Caleb Williams at 15. The league leader is Matthew Stafford with 26. With passes that travel 40+ yards, Bryce is tied with three others at 21st in the league with 3. Only Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel are worse. The median is a three-way tie with Drake Maye, Trevor Lawrence, and Baker Mayfield with 6. The league leader is Sam Darnold with 12. Having the ability to complete passes down the field (not YAC) stretches the defense and makes them account for more ground. It keeps players out of the box and keeps formations in nickel or dime, less line backers for your RBs to worry about. Bryce is why we have 2 losses against the Saints. If he had the outright ability to sling the football down field we beat the easily, but he doesn't. So they crowded the box and our 2 starting caliber RBs with our top ~10 Oline couldn't carry the offense to a win on their own. The limitations of the offense fall squarely on Bryce.
