Zach Wilson Highlights - Week 5 - Every Pass vs Dolphins

[jetsons]

 

[Bowles Movement]

Wow.   I just watched this after missing most of the game traveling.    
Accurate passes.   No procedural miscues or penaltys.   No turnovers.   Looking confident and poised.

Could have had at least 2-3 passing TDS that got stopped inside the 5.

Playing So much better than he did last year.   The sky is the limit!

[SuicidalSince98]

Looks confident tough and in total control. Pretty much a flawless game other than one low throw to Moore that should have been caught 1000-1000 times regardless. 
 

The 4th down to Davis should have been Pi as should have the Conklin deep pass (based on how the game had been callers). That was one sexy throw by the way 

[Darnold615]

Love it.  the one thing I hope he works on is his footwork as the season goes on.  Sometimes he just relies on his arm strenght and does not get set.. passes are short or slightly off.  One example here was to G Wilson at around the 1:30 mark,  Hes had a few this season

[Augustiniak]

Only throw I’d like to redo is the one that was short to moore.

I agree with the PI on Davis.   I thought Conklin should have caught that ball regardless.

folks were upset at his short throw game.  seems to be much improved.

[Trotter]

There was an out to Davis I think in the drive when the score was19-17 that was an absolute rope and to me the best/crucial pass of the day.

 

[fullblast]

He's taken a step from "one read and scramble," to simply executing the play as called. Small sample so far but there are some clear signs of progress.

[All Gas, No Gase]

On the Athletic Can’t Wait podcast today, Zach Rosenblatt mentioned that Breece said he never thought Zach was going to throw him the ball on the 79-yard pass as Zach had other reads before him. That is an excellent sign that Zach is progressing through his reads to find the open receiver. 
 

I heard he developed that skill by reading women to find the open MILF. 

[Mogglez]

 

Happy with the growth, happy with the result of the game.

Still not happy that these two plays weren’t called for pass interference.  Especially because Sauce and MCII got dinged for having textbook coverage.

The deep throw to Conklin too, that should have been had more air under it.  He learns, he won't miss that one again.

The one to Moore - while a bit low - should have been caught.

 Exactly 

this is what I was so upset about during the game

call the game consistently. If what sauce and reed did were PI, the Conklin play was 100% PI

[PS17]

This was a relatively clean game by Zach. He hit his easy throws and leaned on the talented skill players while avoiding mistakes. He will only improve as the offensive line gets better. The line was decidedly mediocre but should gel in the coming weeks.

The one to Davis was an egregious non-call.  That gets called every time against the Jets.  Perfect back shoulder throw to draw the PI...executed well.  Really bad call.

Conklin one - not as bad - Zach needs to throw a better ball.

Awesome throw - Best throw he made all day - at a very critical time.

1st and 10 at 19-17 right after the FG miss. The biggest sequence in the game, IMO

Breece is open on the wheel route every game. Keep hitting it until defenses cover it.

[FidelioJet]

He just looks in control.  Looks like an NFL QB.

Yes, still has a lot of work to do - to be the guy we need him to be...

But boy, he's come a long way.

Idk man, they are both absolutely brutal non-calls.  Zach could have thrown it a tad better, but it still would have required Conklin fighting off a defender pushing and grabbing him before the ball has gotten there, who doesn’t have his head turned.

[Darnold's Forehead]

The hope is to keep having success running and using our backs in the pass game so Zach continues to build confidence.  He'll learn to get the ball out faster and be more precise with his reads that way.  He's always got that (young) Russel Wilson off-scheduleness to him but I'd rather not rely on it. 

Couple throws were off but none were stupid.  Continue to rely on our weaponz.

Edit: Forgot to say something negative about him.  That 2nd sack was horrendous.  Have our coaches told him to stop running backwards?

[Alentador31]

Honestly, he quietly put on a clinic.

The cool thing is that he put the ball exactly where he wanted it on those swing passes. The ball to Hall and Wilson "turned" them around as the announcer said. What Zach was doing was putting his receivers in a position to get some YAC. Both those plays went for first downs. Had he thrown it to their other shoulder, I think both get stopped.

Conklin pushed off and created space.  

If he simply turned and jumped it would've 100% been called because the linebacker would've run him over.

As I remember he was running for his life - not sure he was able to set his feet and might have even just thrown the ball with just arm. Conklin should have gone up and got that ball.

I seem to remember the ESPN guy saying that Hill did the same to Sauce on that PI; even without it, Sauce just stopped to get the ball and Hill ran right into him and yet the flag was thrown...

Look, once again the ball went through the meat of both of Conklin's hands - It's a catch NFL TE's are supposed to make..

But Zach had time - he even did the old - point to him to run deep thing - Probably a miscommunication with where Conklin was going and where Zach thought he was going. Still like to see a better throw there.

Dude that was an insane degree of difficulty play. He threw that what, 50 yards completely flat footed after a step back like he was shooting a 3 pointer? 

[hawk]

I'm sure this was discussed, but how was that deep pass to Conklin not pass interference.  He obviously didn't look back for the ball, and he was certainly impeded.

[SomebodytoAnybody47]

Looks elite. 

[Jetlife33]

The non call on Davis on the 4th and 2 is worse than the Conklin one. Davis would’ve been wide open for the catch if he wasn’t blatantly interfered with.

Correction it was 60 yards in the air 

[hawk]

All in all, he looked much improved.  

He looked much better on the short passes.  He missed Moore on the toe tapper, which was a great catch albeit out of bounds.  He was open.

I don't understand the non calls on both Conklin Deep and that pass to Davis along the sideline.  Crazy.

The problem with PI that game was that the refs were clearly assuming that tyreke hill was always interfered with if he didn’t catch the ball, but really nobody else got the benefit.  Don’t base the call on the wr.
