This is a possible Hardy sack or at least a pass disruption if he didn't slow up after burning Bell? If he extends and surges after rounding the corner he gets to Cam. He isn't allowed to in camp, so he slows up.

I don't know. Hardy would have had to cut at a pretty hard angle to get to Cam since he was stepping up in the pocket.

 

He is really close to just extending his arms to get to the ball. I think he gets there if he was going at 100% and not 75%

It's 50/50 on whether Hardy makes that play.  It is clear that he lets up, but I think he was blocked out of the play pretty well by Bell. Bell also seems to let up a little on that second contact.  If he had wanted to, he could have pushed Hardy a little further away. Even if Hardy had been a step faster, I think Cam would still have gotten the ball out.  The placement on that throw was impressive and the receiver (Armanti) did an excellent job of making that grab.  From my perspective it looks like a solid play.

 

The other question would be if Gross would have handled that as well as Bell did there.

 

Probably in the reg season, Hardy makes that play on the opponent more times than not. Hopefully this is a sign that our offense can make huge plays like this when needed against good defenses.

    • The Texans have done so much to try and surround CJ. They signed Diggs last year. Dell gets hurt so they trade for Kirk this past year. They drafted Higgins (who many had as a 1st rounder) and Noel (many here wanted) and still had Hutchinson The fact is CJ had a pretty easy his rookie season. Clean pockets. Guys running open deep. Slowik was in his bag. Then the wheels fell off. CJ didn’t respond well to Slowik’s hard coaching. Slowik gets canned.  I don’t think there’s been a massive regression I just think things are a lot less easy now and CJ is having to actually think a bit on his own. Which is where the problems begin. CJ has some Sam Darnold to him. He can make every throw with ease but when there’s pressure they tend to do dumb stuff. In 2023 there was a lot less pressure and thinking so CJ balled out much like Sam did in Minnesota or even in Seattle. They’re both very very dependant on coaching/situation
