re: Were Mett's 2 INTs against Furman also downfield bombs?

Actually it looked like the first pick was a miscommunication or an incorrect route by the WR. He threw a quick out and WR ran deeper (don't remember if it was a deep come back or a fly). The pass went directly to the DB. Not as bad as people are making it seem.

this.

that said, it is obvious to me that the pinpoint accuracy he had in the first 5 games of the season has gone south. It started in the 1st half against Florida, continued at Ole Miss, and at times again Furman.

The common thread there is that it was early in the Florida game that his lower leg injury occurred. He brushed it off the next week as a 'deep shin bruise', but he's been wearing a big knee brace on that leg since.

IMO, something with that leg is bothering him enough to affect his mechanics.
