Smitty puts the blame yesterday all on the OL

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.

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.

    • And those targets are mostly going to TMac, who will be a part of the FUTURE of the team. Did it remove the most reliable WR and Bryce's safety blanket? Absolutely. But it's also allowing him to build better chemistry with TMac, Stephens, Horn, Evans, etc. I am pumped to see Coker back and hopefully they can reignite that connection. 
    • It's the same thing that made Bryce the #1 overall pick. I've never seen such mass delusion about a football player before. Everyone convinced themselves that the fact that Bryce was below to severely below average in practically every physical attribute for an NFL QB just wouldn't matter because he has everything else you need and that'll more than make up for it. When has such an argument ever been made for an NFL prospect before? We watch prospects plummet every year because they run a couple tenths slower in the 40 time than expected. Smitty had everything you want in a receiver except he was 5'9" so he goes in the 3rd round. That's the way these things generally go. If you check a lot of boxes but leave some key ones unchecked you're not an elite prospect. With Bryce though, the physically limitations were always obvious so it gave more time to be able to build that into the equation and come up with reasons for why he'd be able to overcome it. Now we have all these same shortcomings having shone brightly on the NFL field and we STILL have people trying to convince themselves he'll be able to overcome it while ignoring that our past two wins and his improved play have come while riding the back of RB putting up GOAT RB production over the past two weeks. What changed wasn't Bryce. What changed is that Rico is playing out of his damn mind. Pretty much every NFL roster caliber QB can shine if he can get 200+ yards out of the RB behind him.
