I didn't notice it until just now, but the INT Jimmy threw to Leon Hall last week, was just a great play by the CB. Hall literally dove and caught it.

Hard to blame Jimmy too much for that, even if he could've been a little safer in the red zone.

You can watch the play, on the page of this link:

Clausen stared Smitty down.

True, but it was a quick inside slant.

Quick plays like that typically don't require you to look off defenders.

Like I said, it wasn't a great read inside the Red Zone, but you gotta give Hall some credit-he made a great play.

EDIT: You know what?

Forget I said anything.

Watched it again, and it wasn't as quick as I remember it.

The only thing I stand by, is that it was a great play by the defender-even if it was a poor choice by Jimmy.

It was a good job by the CB, and throws like that happen to QBs every now and then. It was not a Jake or Moore style INT. It was on target, just not perfect enough to beat off the stellar CB. Ha...I said beat off.

It wasn't the stare down as much as it was the "double-clutch" right before he threw it. I watched that play several times on my DVR and Jimmy telegraphed that throw about as badly as you can telegraph a throw.

I'm not concerned about it, he's a rookie and stuff like that is gonna happen. You can get away with it in the NCAA, but not the NFL.

he had lafell pretty open. lafell made a cut back and his defender kept going. one of those instances it would have been good to get a quick scan of the field...something i know he's quite capable of doing.

maybe he was just trying to get smitty involved. best way to get smitty involved in the game is to get other WRs involved. get that ball to the open man and you get smith a bit more open.

i agree, though. he'll get that cleaned up.

yeah the "double hitch" gave hall enough time to get in front of smith, that's a throw you have to make before smith's break & lead him a little more or don't throw it at all

the good thing is he rarely ever does that. every QB does it from time to time..even peyton and brady.

one thing that always bothered me about moore was his ball tap before every throw. i was hoping he would have gotten that fixed in the offseason, but it just didn't happen. probably a huge reason for his lack of success. if everyone can tell when you're going to throw it, it kind of screws up your chances. ad in that he started staring down receivers this year and it made it easy for the defenders.

clausen typically has such a quick release and and 95+% of the time keeps both hands on the ball right up until he throws it. thats going to be a huge asset. he could use the double clutch to his advantage, though. use it to draw off a defender and open up some other target.

I would hope that the way he has handled the situation, taking all the blame and putting the loss of the game on his shoulders, earned him some respect with his teamates and the fans!

If he would have handled this situation any differently we could have real problems with our QB and number 1 WR! I also believe thats why Smitty come around on Wednesday with a more positive tone!

Good job Jimmy, Keep your head up! We are all pulling for you (sans Pantherforlife)

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
