JustInFudge Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I dont believe for one second that he was trying to throw the ball out of bounds. This guy tries to make plays out of nothing all the time and suddenly the light went off on that play to throw it out of bounds, yet it went directly to the intended WR? Some of you will believe anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachEY Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 6 minutes ago, Augustiniak said: 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. He has no concept of when a play is dead. This was a sack. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomberjet Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I'm watching Edoga on this play - wtf is he thinking? Why did the whole line swing left as if it were a QB option? It turned out to be one big clusterfu&k. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Meh, they rolled him out to the far side of the field and the WR's didnt execute. The play before that was a beautiful design, throw and catch but another terrible call by the worst league in all of sports. Sam's a moron, that's the problem.

Some of you will believe anything. I am giving him a "pass" on this one, and he has made some terrible decisions. One thing about Darnold, when he speaks to the press he has always appeared to be truthful in what he did and what he saw. He has said before when he has tried to force balls and that is a mistake. He is just too "awe shucks" to think fast enough on his feet (both in a presser and a game) to make that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTM Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 17 minutes ago, TeddEY said: How this isn’t seen as universal truth at this point is beyond me. 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. The fact that a decebt chunk of his game and highlight reel is largely dependent on luck is why you have so much variance in his play.

HessStation Posted November 4, 2019 Author Share Posted November 4, 2019 26 minutes ago, More Cowbell said: The most glaring thing to me is the Mike LB made the play and I believe Darnold was having issues identifying that in the Pat's game. Brosy, they left Bell and Griffin in to block, thats 7, the OL scheme, players around him all suck and the team is poorly coached. He was probably like WTF the ILB came full steam untouched and his only three options were all running into each other 3 yards apart as he’s trying to unnaturally roll left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the play, he has lost all leverage on the ability to direct the ball and to direct it with authority. If it was a clean release, I could understand your point of trying to make a play. It is just a flutterball, that is one hell of an ability to control a ball in all those conditions. He just lost leverage on throwing it away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just realized it wasn’t short side of the field my bad there. But that play call was an abomination on second and goal on a crucial drive...then with 7 they let a blitzing LB inside untouched. So bad design plus horrible execution and the ball slips out of his hands. I agree he’s not looking good, but it’s like this team is so bad in so many ways, it’s sorta not fair to blame the 22 year old second year QB. Yet.

T0mShane Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Just watch #75 for the first six seconds of this video. He lazily jogs out to the left to "block" the guy who's covering LeVeon Bell, leaving open a mile-wide hole for McMillan to run through unimpeded. If Edoga LITERALLY DIED and fell down, he would have been more effective on this play, and it's, at worst, an incompletion. How is Darnold supposed to play football under these conditions? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can everybody realize there’s no safety valve, RB and TE in-line blocking and his only option are Three bunched WRs who can’t even get off the line or out of the way of each other. Not to mention he’s rolling left w an unblocked LB coming full steam. What I’m saying is he’s only a piece of a 5 tier sh*tfest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a lot of this going on. The thought that Jets offensive line coach Frank Pollack formerly played this game at a somewhat competent level, and is allowing this type of effort is mind-boggling. Not that he has been given any sharp tools to work with here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snell41 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Robbie Anderson ultimately destroyed the play because he’s a tiny stick that gets pushed around easily. He was supposed to move his defender off the line and into the path of Crowders defender. Instead Anderson got blown up at the line and pushed into Crowder. That destroyed the play, Darnold just decided to pour gasoline on it. Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More Cowbell Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 34 minutes ago, TeddEY said: I mean, all of that information is readily available at the combine, and hand size is measured in QBs for a reason. Yes, and when a LB comes unblocked up the middle on a blitz and is in the process of throwing the QB to the ground, studies show that QB's with larger hands make better throws than ones with smaller ones. I mean you have this documentation, right? I mean never mind all the actual proof we have about how a QB should just take the sack in that situation, we need a QB that can make a good throw when that happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact Darnold is taking so much of the brunt is sorta ridiculous imo.

Apparently, you did not think this at all. You have already proven that you did not even know this was a "thing". All I can do is help dissect plays from a mechanical standpoint. I can't do that from the perspective of the qb throwing the ball, nor can you. Darnold having small hands have proven in the past to be problematic. They certainly may have been a contributing factor in this play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
