Brock Purdy says NFL quarterbacks can’t actually see where they’re throwing nearly 40% of the time, and explains why processing information is more important than having a strong arm
"My quarterback coach, Brian Griese, the last couple years, he and I talked about that. He played 11 years, his dad’s Bob Griese. But we got talking about how really it’s 60/40. You can see about 60% of the time, and the other 40% you really can’t. I mean, it doesn’t matter how big you are."
"He goes, that’s why it’s so important when it comes down to knowing coverages, knowing scheme, where our players are supposed to be, how many steps they’re breaking, and where the ball should be over a certain backer. All those things, man, it matters."
"And that’s why guys, you know, if you go to a combine and all those things, you’re just throwing on air, and yeah, you look all good with a strong arm and fast, jumping, all that stuff. But when it comes down to 11-on-11 and you got guys that are a foot taller and you can’t see, it comes down to the processing."
"Like before the play, I know that this safety is probably going to rotate down. It’s going to be one high, and I got one hitch, no more than that, to rip it where Deebo’s supposed to be, like just inside the hash. And there’s a backer that’s also got a 40-inch vert that I got to put it over. That’s what’s crazy, all those things when you’re fitting it in over the backer and underneath the deep safety."
Here’s a recap of how Toledo pulled off a miracle:
Down 14 with 71 seconds left.
Rockets scored first in OT. Temple answered & went for 2 & the win…Toledo found a way. Huge win for Mike Jacobs team.
Toledo and Navy are the only teams in the nation to score a touchdown on every red-zone possession this season. The Rockets are a perfect 12 for 12, while Navy is 5 for 5.
VANDERBILT WINS IN A MIRACLE OVER NC STATE!
NC State tried to run down the clock and take a safety... but fumbled in the end zone. Vandy recovered for a TD.
(Officials put 1 second on the clock after review, but Vandy held on)
Here's how it looked and sounded on SEC Network.
That's a coaches loss there. You can't pack it in and play not to loose on the road in a top 5 matchup. Very disappointing to see the lack of pressure from the defense especially in the 2nd half. Arthur Smith called it way too tight in the 2nd half.
