Welcome to NFL Interception Review! I try to rate these off of objective facts more so than my own opinions, but I may add or subtract from a rating if I feel like its necessary.
My scale is:
0 - WR fault/miscommunication
1 - Poor but I get it
2 - Bad throw
3 - Truly awful throw
Jordan love throws a pick targeting Christian Watson. Desperation arm punt type throw here, Ill-advised for sure, but on a 3rd and 21, it could be worse. 2 #OnePride
Tyler Huntley throws a pick targeting Zay Flowers. Huntley throws this one out in front of Flowers, but Zay stops. Likely a miscommunication on this one. 0 #WhoDey
Bryce Young throws a pick targeting John Metchie. Bryce telegraphs this throw way too much. He goes through his progressions, but locks on to Metchie for far too long before throwing, giving Tykee Smith time to read, react and pick. 3 #WeAreTheKrewe
Bryce Young throws a pick targeting Jalen Coker. Bryce throws this one outside when it needs to be thrown inside, which makes it easy for Zyon McCollum to be all over this and get the pick. Right read, poor throw. 2 #WeAreTheKrewe
Zyon McCollum With The Interception On Bryce Young.
This Has Been An Absolutely Horrible Half From The Carolina Panthers, And Bryce Can't Seem To Catch A Break.
But Give Credit Where It's Due. The Buccaneers Defense Is Definitely Pretty Good.
Picked Off. 🏴☠️
Geno Smith throws a pick targeting Mason Taylor. Geno stares down Taylor, then throws to Taylor in traffic. Easy reads, even for a 5th round rookie safety like Michael Taaffe. 3 #PhinsUp
Daniel Jones throws a pick targeting Will Mallory. Jones looks off Will Mallory, and he throws to Will Mallory. Easy reads for any safety in the NFL, but especially a long time NFL vet like Harrison Smith. 3 #Skol
Cam Ward throws a pick targeting Elic Ayomanor. Going for a deep shot, Cam Ward throws this one slightly behind Ayomanor, and Denzel Ward is in the right spot to pick it off. I like the target, and maybe Ayomanor wins that ball, but it's still a bad throw. 2 #DawgPound
Deshaun Watson throws a pick targeting Denzel Boston. Watson probably thinks that Boston will go under Cor'Dale Flott here, but even if he did, the throw is still off target. Oh yeah, he also stared Boston down and threw this ball even when he didn't go under. 3 #TitanUp
Brock Purdy throws a pick targeting Jordan Watkins. Probably the right read, but Kendal Daniels makes a great play on the ball to tip it to himself for the pick. Purdy should've put more air under that one. 2 #DirtyBirds
Brock Purdy throws a pick targeting Jacob Cowing. Maybe this was intended to be a throw away, but Purdy doesn't get it far enough out of bounds. Huge credit to Jessie Bates for making an awesome play on the ball, too. Using the "very good play" protocol here, 2 #DirtyBirds
Tyler Shough throws a pick targeting Chris Olave. Shough throws this one way too inside and gives Payton Wilson a shot to pick it, which he does. Really not that hard of a throw, he just misses badly. 3 #HereWeGo
Drake Maye throws a pick targeting Eli Raridon. Maye puts this one right where D'Marco Jackson, and only D'Marco Jackson, can get to it, which would be make it a good throw. However, Jackson plays for the other team. Maye places this way too inside. 3 #DaBears
Dak Prescott throws a pick targeting CeeDee Lamb. Lamb just slips here, unfortunate stuff because the throw itself looked good. Brandon Cisse the beneficiary. 0 #GoPackGo
Jordan Love throws a pick targeting Matthew Golden. Love throws this one too inside on an out breaking route, letting Dee Winters have a great shot at it. Golden is the right read here, but it needs to be placed more outside so Golden has a better shot here. 2 #DallasCowboys
Kirk Cousins throws a pick targeting Michael Mayer. Cousins tried to fit this into a very, very tight window, and it doesn't work out. On target throw, but a poor decision by Cousins. 2 #BillsMafia
@Sportsfan985122 Honestly a good point, it does look like JJM was expecting Fields to sit down where he was and threw it there. Could very well be a miscommunication. I'll change it to a 0.
JJ McCarthy throws a pick targeting Malachi Fields. McCarthy misses Fields completely, throwing it well behind him and right into the arms of Martin Emerson Jr. 2 pick day for Emerson, and a really bad throw from JJM in his Giants debut. 3 #Saints
Patrick Mahomes throws a pick targeting Andrew Armstrong. Mahomes is under heavy pressure and actively scrambling away from it, but there's no reason toss this one up for grabs when you'll be able to kick a FG even if you get sacked. Cam Hart gets an easy one. 3 #BoltUp
Justin Herbert throws a pick targeting KeAndre Lambert-Smith. Herbert is in the process of getting sacked here, but there's no reason to try and play hero ball early in the 2nd quarter on 2nd and 3. Cochrane gets an easy pick because of it. 3 #ChiefsKingdom
