Listen. I'm not going to waste my time explaining all of what has already been said to you. It's there for you to see. That deep hitch or comeback to Davis was open, but Mariota is so risk averse and focused on his first read that he won't throw on anticipation. Did you look at the video of the first attempt of the game? Poor fundamentals and missed Walker.
The problem with your posts is that you throw something untrue in to bolster your opinion instead of sticking to what's real.
You're not gonna waste your time explaining what's been said to me? You'll spend multiple posts insulting me but trying to have a discussion of what's really going on is a waste of your time? LOL!!!
I see. So you don't care what's real, you just want Mariota gone and will simply bash anyone who doesn't hate him? For made up reasons? AWESOME!:sarcasm:
Furthermore, you make comments about what I 'think' when clearly you don't know what I think. You came to the conclusion that everything I think about the Herndon plays is wrong...yet it's a waste of your time to discuss it?
Do you think players in a system in year 1 or 2 are going to go beyond the system? Not usually. Mariota may be in year 5 of his career but he's in game like 16 in this offense and even then, this offense is clearly not the same as last year. You complain - rightly so - about Mariota's fundamentals needing work...but then expect he's gonna go off script to change a progression? He's not there yet. Neither is Tannehill. On the comeback play, Humphries is his first read as they were trying to catch the defense napping with Humphries staying in to block the blitzer to leak out late. I've already explained this play. Is Davis open? Yes...but they are trying to hit Humphries and he threw him the ball. The defense was better on the play. We called a lot of little checkdown plays like this...screen to Humphries, screen to Davis, screen to Henry, etc
You claim he's so fixated on his first read he 'won't' throw with anticipation? He did so on the first play of the game. It was a bad throw, but he threw it with anticipation. He threw a few plays to Walker outside between zone defenders with anticipation. He threw a few sideline passes with anticipation. He threw a post to Davis with anticipation. So what are you talking about saying he won't throw with anticipation?
As I said, you mix the true things with untrue stuff to pile on and make him look worse. Stick with reality and you'll have credibility. When you make stuff up...not so much.
As I've said to ABC and 520 and others, there are enough things to accurately criticize Mariota for without making stuff up. Give it a shot!
