Irish Jet Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 He's never been able to see a blitz coming. His biggest red flag was holding the ball longer vs blitzes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoot-Face Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Saw the highlight. Hell of a hit. Glad he seems to be okay. Fields as already demonstrated his toughness. Glad it wasn't Wilson, though. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxman Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 He is a tough kid, what he did last season, and the pain he played through, very impressive. I didn't see this hit but I hope he is okay. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Zachtion Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 No excuse for that hit. Free shot on a stationairy target who doesn't see it coming. The rumor was he dropped for the seizures and concussion risk but that looked like worst case scenario and he popped up. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defense Wins Championships Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Justin Fields fans killed me last year when I mentioned how A.) He lacks pocket awareness (doesn't even see pressure) and B.) He's more of a RB than a QB. And so far throughout two preseason games he's been a nice runner but an atrocious Quarterback. Compare Wilson vs. Fields statistics after 2 games and you'll see how Zach is light years ahead of him as not an RB but as a QB. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Violence is part of football, and definitely part of the appeal, but even in MMA they limit what kind of violence is acceptable. "No lifelong damage" is a good rule of thumb. And with what they know about concussions now, head hunting definitely needs to go. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogglez Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Good breakdown on what went wrong on the play by Tim Jenkins. Basically, Justin didn’t set the right protection. This was a huge problem with Sam last year, particularly when it came to blitzes up the A gap, and I remember pointing it out: It was still a totally unnecessary helmet to helmet hit. Either way, after rewatching some of the game, I take back what I said “how can you justify starting Dalton?” Fields should probably sit. That o-line isn’t good and having a rookie QB who needs to learn how to read that pre-snap and adjust the protections properly isn’t going to help. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure he’ll be fine. It’s his rookie year and he comes from a system where he almost never had to do this. It’s cases like Darnold, when he’s not identifying it in year 3, that make you worry. I think the kid has the goods, he just needs to sizzle a little bit on the sideline. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSJ Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 It is an awful hit but this is why it’s important a QB is ready before they start. Fields totally failed to call the right protection.
