re: A Review of Missed Open WR's

quote:

---

Nabors was wide open from the second the ball was hiked

Do you not understand how progressions work?

He’s looking right after the snap obviously there is a route combination to that side that he is to read first then the backside receiver is the next option. He just didn’t have time to get to that back side.

They don’t understand that. They think it’s like Madden where you see every route at the same time

4th and goal from 1. single coverage on all 4 wideouts, doesn't throw the ball to anyone. I would add i thought they all ran terrible routes, but Lacy would have been an easy TD throw.

---

On this one it looks like when the o line broke everyone was well covered.

Seems like often times it’s just not that easy to capture everything going on at the exact moment of the receiver being open and JD being in a position to read it. O line breaks down a lot and a split second opening on a receiver isn’t easy for even a good QB to spot.

Overall I’m not really saying either way. Surely there were many misreads and not.

3rd and goal from the 1. pick play for Brian Thomas who is wide open. doesn't get the ball thrown to him. Great catch by Nabors on an absolutely horrible throw.

---

This is probably a pick 6 by the guy that jumps if he throws it to Brian Thomas

quote:

---

end of 1st quarter on a 1st and 10, just a terrible throw to an open guy. Read the blitz right and threw it to the right place, clean pocket, just abysmal throw that was bailed out for a PI call.

---

Watching this live on the replay you can clearly see the hold affected where Nabors would have been. He would have caught it without the PI

quote:

---

Right before the end of the half, wide open Nabors right in front of his face, holds the ball and almost gives up a fumble deep in our own zone.

---

Probably has something to do with Campbell offering no resistance to Jared Verse on this play. He went right by him

quote:

---

Last play before 1st half, Nabors is running across the field wide open, good chance to score a TD.

---

Do you not see the LB in front of Nabors and the safety right behind Nabors?

quote:

---

3rd and 10 and punted after this. While this one was a drop, and could have been a TD of Lacy catches it, it's a single high safety with Nabors already beating his man up the right side. Throw the ball up to him. He looks right at him and doesn't throw it.

---

Is he penalized for throwing it to a different WR on an easier throw that should have been a TD?

quote:

---

3rd and 6 middle of the 3rd, even if Nabors doesn't slip, it was still a terrible throw that would have been intercepted, to a receiver that wasn't going to be open.

---

I'd argue that if Nabors doesn't slip he catches the ball


And this is all coming from someone who believes JD should be on short leash before giving Nuss a shot

The throw was bad, bad anyone ignoring the fact that it should have been caught and in the red zone need their brain examined

I agree Teddy. It seems clear he will never be a great/elite passer. I think his elite running is detriment to him developing into an elite passer because his fail safe is to scramble and run instead of trying to pass until theres no time left to pass.

quote:

---

Why should he?

---

Because he literally did it right before your eyes.

Who knows if it was on purpose, but the ball was thrown 40 yards in the air and hit an open man in the gut.

TD still says it’s Daniels fault.

Exactly. Look how Jordan Travis extending plays with his legs and throwing on the run. Totally killed our D.

quote:

---

If you have a guy open for a big gain, throw him the ball, no matter how near or far down the field he is.

---

He did that and underthrew the ball a step or two...wr still needs to catch the ball. I think Burrow spoiled our fans with his accuracy.
