I anticipated and threw before a guy was open A LOT… it was one of my super powers… that at times cost me when things didn’t play out exactly like I expected!!
Ok for those of you who like to #StudyBall heres a complete breakdown of the #TUA INT last night… I say it every week, DETAILS matter!! Coaches are you considering EVERYTHING on EVERY PLAY??? Why, Why, Why??? Who’s my BIGGEST problem??? Die-Hard Fball fans enjoy! https://t.co/6ePyX6963m
I respect all the guys out here doing work, but tell me what happened here, instead of just yelling at QB? It was the right read off the coverage! Details matter!
On this play the #2 WR to that side MUST inside release to HOLD OFF the MLB or this play has little chance! Vs C3 the corner is dead bc it’s running to the CB, the only chance this play has is off the OSLB to the right side who covers the flat & Tua throws this about as quick as he can! They do nothing to slow the MLB down - who is the biggest problem in this play - and then everyone blames TUA!
There are certain plays where a QB has to trust the playcall and design and read it bc they can’t see everyone! The play has to take care of MLB if the QB is on time… and he can’t HOLD the MLB with his eyes bc he has to read the OSLB first! So he’s not TELEGRAPHING the throw he’s READING the throw which is what QBs must do (it’s not staring down a WR it’s reading a defensive player)!
So again all respect to the guys out here doing work - but u have to explain the WHY or ppl just will follow your lead and think this is just dumb by TUA, which it’s not!
How 🔥 is Tua?
Tagovailoa is the FIRST player in NFL history to have at least 40 pass attempts, multiple touchdown passes and no interceptions in three consecutive games within a single season.
