I read the OP in Jaws' voice from MNF. Sounds like one of his breakdowns.

i remember this play. jj held on to the ball too long. pre-snap he should have reconized the man to man with no safety over the top. and in pic 3 he should be starting to throw it. throw it high towards the back pylon where only rr can get to it.

look at pic 5, rr is staring his break. he still could have thrown high to towards the side line where only rr can catch it. the ball should be coming out at this point.

pic 6 rr is all the way out of his break and he should be extending towards the sideline for the catch.

this play should have been a score if jj knew how to pre-snap read and then recognize coverage.


So is your position that nothing happens post snap?
Is it your position that the pre snap reads are set in cement and that the defense doesn't adjust or drop into different coverages post snap?
Is it your position that defenses don't try to disguise their coverages in order to bait quarterbacks into throwing into double coverage.
Is it your position that quarterbacks should ignore any and all adjustments that the defense makes post snap and not adjust his actions?
Is it your position that the Florida defensive staff, remembering the situation last year, had not prepared their scheme into baiting LLSU into trying the same pass, but with different coverage, therby preventing a touchdown??

Is that what you are saying?

That would depend on the IQ of the safety Considering if JJ looked to the right to where there was not even a receiver running a route like North Tiger wants him to Id be willing to bet the safetys IQ is higher than North Tiger's


You must know something about this Rhodes Scholar FS because you are so sure that he would not freeze momentarily to see if the TE released off the line. All JJ needed was him for freeze momentarily. Reading the FS's mind, he saw one guy split out, saw JJ take the snap and look directly toward RR. He never looked to the right and so he never even gave the FS reason to think there was anything there. In the end, the corner was so out of position so the FS was actually the only defender JJ had to contend with. JJ made that job easy for him.

So as you can see...He DID NOT stare down one receiver, he read the safety, and made the correct decision based on how the Defense played. Had it been man coverage and the safety would have blitzed, which is what LSU anticipated, #2 breaks to the inside and scores and easy TD.



I didn't read through the whole thread and don't know if it was already mentioned, but this was supposed to be a fade route to Randle. Randle was open however JJ threw the ball way too late. IMO, this is the wrong play call for JJ. Accurate timing throws to the corner of the end zone is not one of JJ's strengths.

All I have to say about this thread is that it's fricking hilarious that 15 pages have been wasted on parsing every nanosecond of one pass by JJ.

You people are amazing.

Reading his mind? You can't possibly be serious.

I somehow wandered back into this thread (pretty shocked its still going strong) and lets just pretend that perhaps you are correct. Perhaps if JJ looks to the right the safety may would have stopped. However you premise that he looked at RR the whole time is wrong. I would argue that JJ is staring directly at the saftey till late in the sequence because that is his primary read for the play. If you look in the first three pictures he is almost looking straight ahead and then in the fourth his head+body makes a pretty drastic turn to the left towards Reuban who is now even further up field. So he wasnt staring down RR at all

It was a quick read play. There was no reason to try to force the ball in. Look and if the play isn't there, dump it and kick the FG. That's Les Miles football, like it or not.
The QB did the right thing.

Looks like he could have just thrown it to the pylon

Not sure why you went through this much effort to justify a wasted play but congrats I guess

what's the point of this thread? Why would a someone go through such trouble to attempt to prove that one player made a good decision on one play?

This is the equivalent of someone starting a thread breaking down Lee floating a ball up in the air off his back foot with pictures trying to convince us that it was a good play.

BUT... since some of you are so dense and can't get off JJ's jock, here's a breakdown of a similar play by Lee:



OHNOZ THERE'S A SAFETY THERE!!! DON'T THROW IT!!!



WHY ARE YOU THROWING IT SO EARLY?!?! HE'S ONLY LIKE 2 YARDS PAST THE LOS!!! WHAT ABOUT THE SAFETY!!! WHAT IS HE GOING TO DO? shite! HOLD ONTO THE BALL DAMNIT!



NO WAY!! YOU MEAN A QB CAN THROW THE BALL WHERE ONLY THE RECEIVER CAN CATCH IT? SOMEONE PINCH ME!!

Rivals the one where OBU generously dissected in infinite detail every incompletion JL had against Oregon. Guess where there aren't many incompletions, one has to work a little harder.

Different formation for 1.

3 receivers in the route 2.

Not the same play, not the same route.

I do like your drawings there Simon.

I'll need to see the video of this play... This picture looks like Randle is clearly open for the TD because both defenders look out of position to make any kind of play on the ball.

Interesting to say the least. Number 8 for Florida is way out of position. He shouldn't have given up the outside. He as inside help(10), so he should have forced the play inside where he has help. I'm glad he didn't.

Now I'll leave this to all you instant Sports Center experts.

should have been thrown before the break and away from the defnder. safety was not getting there or it would have been pass interference. He held the ball too long
