HessStation Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 2nd and goal, three WR set to the short side of the field, Bell and Griffin both stay into block, Edoga appears to let an ILB blitz go untouched, two of the WR’s actually run into each other, actually all three are completely bunched together with no place to go, with no safety valve anywhere but three morons in a moronic goal line set who can’t get off the line of scrimmage. Meanwhile Lewis can’t hold his block for more than less a second. The decision to throw it up for grabs wasn’t smart but NOBODY, especially the coaches play call is helping him. The entire team is a sh*tfest and he’s taking the brunt. https://www.google.com/amp/s/thespun.com/more/top-stories/video-sam-darnold-throws-the-dumbest-interception-of-the-season/amp 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, not every play is going to work. Problem was the escape hatch of ending plays that need to be aborted. Darnold has not learned that concept, is justifiably skittish at this point. 99% of people would be behind that o-line.

The question is, have we ruined him for good? Don’t love it. Watched it a few times on youtube. Very cramped area with 3wrs and several dbs at goal line. Darnold is in awkward position rolling left and turning to point his left shoulder to throw, that’s when blitz comes. Whether he was actually trying to throw it away or not, it’s debatable. Maybe he was, maybe he was chucking it up for his wr. But it looks like it slips out of his hand as he is turning while running to avoid the blitz. Why they didn’t have him roll right when it’s a much more natural throwing motion and he has more room - maybe he runs in for a td too. But why ask why 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losmeister Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 hughes @ atheletic Understanding that play in the red zone There’s no defending the vast majority of what took place Sunday, except this: Gase probably deserves a little leniency with the red-zone play call after Ryan Griffin’s overturned touchdown. The play design called for Robby Anderson to cut in on a slant. Crowder would then loop around in the flat. Anderson would free up Crowder for a walk-in touchdown. But Miami corner Ryan Lewis pressed Anderson at the line and knocked him into Crowder. Instead of Anderson setting a pick for Crowder, he prevented him from running his route. Darnold rolled out, hoping to extend the play. Raekwon McMillan wrapped him up. Darnold threw up a prayer and Jomal Wiltz picked it off. I saw the Jets run this play a dozen times during training camp. It worked on virtually all of them. They scored on a similar play in the preseason opener against the Giants. The Jets easily could have run it with Le’Veon Bell. That probably would have been my call. Gase said after the game that they were limited because of personnel groupings. Essentially, if they were going to run, they needed to be in a goal-line set (offensive line problems). They didn’t want to be in goal line because they were worried time would expire. So the Jets went with the rollout. It wasn’t a bad play call. It was terrible execution and a horrific mistake by Darnold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScarletKnight89 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 The problem was Darnold was trying to throw the ball away but couldn't get rid of it in time. There was nothing wrong with the play call besides the fact that it was defended well. Darnold needed to get rid of the ball quicker, he waited too long hoping for something to develop, when it didn't he should have just taken the sack instead he tried to quickly throw it away but got hit and the pass floated for an easy INT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many of his best plays are you holding your breath and shocked by the outcome? The Robby Anderson Dallas TD is this years prime example. Back foot lob that Anderson runs under. Luck, mostly.

Please stop: Sam Darnold is widely regarded as a lock to come off the board in the top 10 of the 2018 NFL Draft, but some are concerned about the size of his hands. https://withthefirstpick.com/2018/02/28/2018-nfl-draft-hand-size-concern-sam-darnold/ 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem was that when the blitzer came in, darnold was still rolling out, his body was facing the end zone rather than pointing his left shoulder to throw. So he avoids the blitzer and tries to throw it away all in one motion and i think the dolphin got a hand on his arm as he was trying to throw it away. Again if he had been rolling right it would have been way easier to throw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
