Captain_Quint Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 The guy who went down with the knee injury in the middle probably could have had him, but good for Harty to recognize that he had room to work. At the stadium, fins fans all lost it when it happened. How many times did we see it when Crossman was our ST coach, too? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jukester Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 (edited) 4th and 2 - should've thrown to kincaid right away, but even after that he had Diggs and Kincaid in the middle of the field after he rolled out. Granted it would have been away from his roll out but this should've been a conversion. The Davis option route - agree, just get rid of the option. Have Davis run a quick slant there on the all out blitz and it's an easy 6. Middle was wide open Edited January 8 by Jukester 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let's Go Buffalo Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I was thinking the same thing when I saw this live.....I didn't see how badly they out-kicked the coverage until later, so it made more sense to me than at first.....Now, I'm really glad he decided to field it! Ha! Maybe that's why I never returned punts after high school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 How does Josh not see the Kincaid flat pattern is there? Is this a situation he has predehe is going to try to go to Diggs??? Still not sure why he didn't decide to run for the first on 4th and 2 once he scrambled to the right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPS Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Maybe it doesn't matter with Harty, but I enjoyed the fact that Poona Ford (I believe it was him?) blocked the punter so that there was no possible last man option to stop Harty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Alright, watching Baldy's replay of the first interception is really aggravating. What was Davis thinking working back to the post? It is an all out, cover zero blitz. The DB has inside leverage. Davis gets solid positioning going to outside. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralonzo Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 If Davis turned to the outside and looked for the ball, then Apple would have been able to tackle Davis before the ball arrived which as we all know was not a penalty at that time of the game. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the problem is Davis wasn't looking for the ball at all. He needs to get his head around right as he is breaking, but he doesn't. He takes a couple of steps before looking. The defender lets him go because he saw the pass. Allen let that ball go before Davis even made his break. But Davis had a man right on him when Allen made the throw. Allen should have just thrown it out of the back of the end zone instead of throwing it to a covered man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This what I’m saying. Everyone is blaming Davis. It’s gotta be on Josh. It wasn’t thrown inside or out it was thrown right at the defender.

I think the option was to turn and sit, or break inside. I don't think he was ever going to turn it outside. If he turns and sits, the defender is right there... So, just not good all around. 1 minute ago, peterpan said: This what I’m saying. Everyone is blaming Davis. It’s gotta be on Josh. It wasn’t thrown inside or out it was thrown right at the defender.

SageAgainstTheMachine Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I always wonder about this because you almost never see it...on those 4th down situations with a desperation heave why are DBs not just knocking the ball down to gain field position? Seems like you always see them go for the INT? In a league where no stone goes unturned is this not something that's taught? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if it was turn and sit on a curl route, or break inside, then It was on Josh. Curl route would be to sit in a soft spot of the zone, not against tight man like that. Maybe Gabe should have altered his route earlier, like a quick slant. idk about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like you always see them go for the INT? In a league where no stone goes unturned is this not something that's taught? Suppose the Miami DB had an incentive in his contract that he got a $XXX bonus for Y interceptions, and he had Y-1 going into the game. Even if not, these guys are rewarded for INTs far more than heads-up plays. The INT goes into his lifetime stats, the heads-up play gets a pat on the helmet.

Utah John Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Half a second more and Josh sees that Davis is breaking to the middle of the field, and it's an easy TD. That half second was not there because Cook missed his block. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah John Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 8 hours ago, Warcodered said: I mean there's a guy spying Kincaid the whole time, Josh throws that Miami has 6. Well, the guy tracking Kincaid is downfield so if Josh leads Kincaid he catches it and gets the first down before being tackled. If Josh throws a flat pass, yep, it's 6 going the other way. My money is on Josh making the right pass. But who knows, maybe Kincaid drops the pass and the Bills punt and the Dolphins get it at the 20. We're better off with the INT. This was the second (maybe there were more) play this year where a Josh 3rd down INT turned into something better than a punt on 4th down.

I just don't think the defender would be able to catch up to Kincaid if the pass was out in front where it belongs. Kincaid might not get very far before being tackled, but I think it would be complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Things Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Thanks for sharing these links, guys. I always enjoy watch these Baldy videos. He's very good at explaining things in a simple, clear and concise manner, instead of blowing a lot of hot air like other commentators.

ExiledInIllinois Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Why didn't Elliott drop the INT on purpose. Making the pick cost them 15 yards. It was actually a nice roll of the dice by Josh. Picks like that really don't show in stat sheet. Like a touchback on punt. 20 yard line don't hurt them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously I have to put some responsibility on Josh, but Gabe seemingly cannot grasp the response to a Cover 0 scenario which is hit your mark and turn around. They are sending the house. You have to know it can be coming, you can't play footsie with your breaks. I don't love where Josh put it, but the odds he puts it there are lower if Gabe does his job.

I don't think we made good enough adjustments on cover 0. Don't love the condensed 3x1 there in the red zone as its just going to clog the middle of the field. Also kind of kills the chances of a fade, which while its a lower percentage play is less likely to be a turnover and is really just a catch it and throw it type of play that beats cover 0.
