He goes to the Pylon because it is a freaking corner route

He didn't go to the Pylon, he flattened his route and went to the sideline. Also cut down the padding on the coverage nearly allowing the defender coming back to disrupt if the ball was thrown right on him where he ran.

 

Had he opened his route up to the pylon he'd have been hit in stride. No need to turn, no need to stretch back.

It's not necessarily a bad throw or a bad route by Zay. Looks like it was a miscommunication where Tyrod thought he would stay inside... another play where it is impossible to know who is at fault. Only the coaches know.

 

That is irrelevant. Plays don't always go to script. The ball ended up in the receivers hands. It should have been caught.

You have to be kidding- that was a great effort from Jones to even get his hands on it - too high and behind him when he was running the opposite direction.

 

He's not. The QB who had a whopping 15 yards of offense on his shoulders at the half shall NOT be criticized.

I take the point about the route. It is tough to work out why he breaks to the sideline. It still is a badly thrown ball.

 

 

Not if you are expecting a veteran route decision.

 

I can't for the life of me see how anyone would expect Taylor to drop a ball into a bucket along the sidelines from 40 yards out...........that's rarified throw territory...........it was a route against zone that required an adjustment and had Jones made it properly he walks into the end zone with a TD.

The throw was bad. Zay sat down in a hole in coverage. Tyrod threw it behind him. Zay couldnt make the adjustment. However, I still expect a starting receiver to make that catch. They happen every Sunday, Monday, and Thursday. Tough catch yes. Amazing no.

 

 

The throw was perfect, he threw it to where the receiver would run UNDER the ball, Tyrod threw the ball right when Zay broke off his route. Zay made an unnecessary adjustment making a routine catch infinitely times harder( he still should've caught it as he got two hands on it) for himself.

Safety was beat bad. Zay didn't need to go to sidelines. Throw was good gentleman. Best luck to Zay going forward. I still believe in him but I wouldn't want to be in his shoes right now. I feel awful for him.

Did Tyrod have a chance to win the game....one that nobody saw coming? So many haters. Zay catches that and we score after, then we credit Def,McD & TT with a great win.
