re: Horrible WR routes on 2nd Mettenberger fumble

All I see is Dworaczyk getting beasted in a 5 on 3 scenario.

Thats because you see what you want to see. I spent about 3 paragraphs explaining this play yesterday but the pic, if taken in context shows it all.

At the point this pic was taken, JD had already cut Lemonier, forcing him to put both hands on the ground to regain his balance.

In the pic, Mett had ALREADY looked out to Landry and decided NOT to throw it even though it appears Landry is open for first down yardage. Mett has already pulled it down and is looking to scramble.

Yes JD could have made a SLIGHTLY better cut block but even if Lemonier had went completely to the ground he would likely have popped up and sacked Mett anyway.

The rantards have been blaming JD for this play since the game ended....but to my eyes the blame lies more with Mett and/or the recievers.
