Should He Throw It? [1 image]

He's got 3 options open there.

From the picture it appears he has three gus open.

By the time he turns and sees Jenkins he’s probably not going to be an option but no excuse for not hitting Nabers or Williams.

The safest throw is to Nabers. Terrible decision to tuck and run.

Actually, 8 and 10 are open but the problem is he should be already in his throwing motion (or already thrown) to them. Now that they are through their breaks, the coverage can see and break on the ball now. He is not anticipating the break and the open window

Throw it to Malik, take the easy 4-5 yards and set up 2nd and 5.

Having said that, when Josh Williams as the "checkdown" is only 1-2 yards shallower than 3 receivers in the pattern, that's not a great idea either

I'm not even sure what Daniels is looking at here....

Using still shots is hardly an accurate way to determine where a quarterback should throw the ball.

Williams is his best option there. The guy close to him is leaning away.

The others look open but won’t be by the time the ball gets there.

So i went back to see what he saw before the snap...i remember 2019 there was always a defender that depending on what he did was where you went next....the defender on Jenkins at the top was way off(keep this in your pocket)....you read the bottom safety and he bails out making the route that Taylor has off...Taylor seems to be running a rub route with Nabers underneath...Both LBs eyes are on Taylor following him making Nabers the throw wide open...i would say this is a play that Burrow and Jefferson did alot...Jefferson would read the LB and if he went with the TE as both of them do he would continue in the middle....if the LB sits then he sits before he gets to him which is what he did...Idk if our QB doesnt have the confidence in our WR or what he sees out there or he doesnt know the plays
