Went back and watched Herbert’s INT several times, and honestly, I thought the play call and design were good. There was an answer there against the coverage.
What concerns me is the timing.
Herbert appears to know where he wants to go with the ball. He gets his eyes to the receiver early, but then holds it. The window is there earlier in the play, this is exactly the kind of anticipation throw the offense is asking him to make. Instead of hitting the back foot and ripping it, he hesitates.
By the time he throws, the window has deteriorated and the safety has had time to drive on the ball.
Herbert’s arm talent is so ridiculous that sometimes it feels like he believes he can still beat a window that was open 0.5 seconds ago.
And I think that gets closer to the larger problem: Herbert’s internal clock simply doesn’t look synchronized with this offense right now.
The eyes, feet, route timing, coverage recognition and release aren't operating as one synchronized process.
But after six months in this offense, the bigger coaching question is why Herbert still looks this uncomfortable with the timing?
@b2aboveall@whatuplakerss You’re arguing whether Delta should help. That’s not the point. They chose to offer ‘rescue fares,’ but pricing them this high makes them inaccessible to most people affected. That’s what people are reacting to.
