Interesting. Did'nt see what happened.

After reading it...it would seem that he is a smart QB. Dos'nt want to force it and when he did it gor picked last game. I think he will play smarter from now on. Hope so anyway...

Looked like Clausen was more comfortable with finding LaFell than throwing to Smith where he could get intercepted because of double coverage. Smart play on his part.

With the way our receiving corps is set up it's hard for a rookie to throw to a number 1 whose double teamed...it'll be much easier when he gets more comfortable and confidence in his abilities but now with no stand out number two its going to be a struggle.

Yea I agree as per my edit. I think he's going o be a very good QB. In time though.

That interception early on was just one excellent play by Hall. When I saw it, I couldn't really get mad at Clausen.

After that game, I was more hopeful about the future of our WRs. We do have some good ones. I hope they're more supportive of Jimmy, the next few weeks are critical in how he develops in this league.

Not only that but the more he spreads the ball around maybe other DCs will have to start covering our others wideouts and not double Smith so much. Giving him a chance to get open more.

wow...he says all the right things...he did try to force it, he realized it, said he can't do that anymore....and moving on

I know Smitty wants the ball, but a lot of the time the problem with our QB's has been the tendancy of "focusing on one reciever"...which they have a right to do so...but....YOU CAN"T DO THAT.

Jimmy really impresses me, he really does

smitty spits venom

"It was said that I was just about to 'go off,' and I wasn't," Smith said after Wednesday's practice. "I thought it was interesting because here, I was obviously agitated and frustrated, but sometimes people think they know me better than I know myself. I think that's a joke, and I think the people that reported it are jokes."

I agree he just needs prove it on the field.

    • These are the three deep throw attempts that Will Levis made in week 12. His first one is a beauty; Levis and Westbrook-Ikhine gets the safety to bite on a deep dig only to go over the top for the score. His second throw is another beauty: a crosser to Calvin Ridley reminiscent of Bryce to XL (though Ridley has noticeably more separation on his route). His third and final deep shot was an incompletion from his own endzone on 3rd & 14 with pressure coming down on him (to me, this seems like a solid throw).   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Levis took half of the deep shots that Young did. The differences are: Ridley had much better separation than XL, which is why his deep crosser turned into a 63yd play since he was able to scamper for another 15+ after the catch. Westbrook-Ikhine holds on to his TD pass. Bryce had to throw one away to preserve time for a field goal. Bryce had two more throws that were incomplete due to the WR Are we really holding the three WR errors and clock management decision against Bryce in order to say that Will was better throwing deep in week 12? That's not passing the eye test nor is it confirmed by the data.
    • If you go on the PUP list before the season starts, you are gone for the year. If you start the year on the PUP list then you can get off of it. Kind of semantics, but we are putting him on the PUP list now which is before week 1, that’s why people who come off of it aren’t really on the PUP list until week 1, hence you usually hear right before the season that they are “starting the year” on the PUP list. I think PUP list and IR may basically be the serve the same purpose now because you also sometimes hear that if a player is added to the IR before week 1 that they aren’t eligible to come off the IR list for the entire year. Now, everyone added to IR (post week 1) can come off after 4 (or more) games so the PUP list is meaningless since it’s 6 games and starts at week 1. Anyone added to PUP or IR in the preseason is gone for the year.
    • I saw Brooks maybe a few weeks ago, he was walking pretty normally. of course he wasnt running, jumping and cutting.
