When the ball is thrown 40+ yards downfield, it's virtually never going to be perfectly placed

But it was a catch that a competent WR should have come down with. Same with the bomb to Collie 2 weeks ago and the pass to Holker last week.

One serious quibble:

Hmm then I may be thinking of when we ran the ball in the hurry up

byujackson

I think he means when we have a 3rd and short and they try to hurry and run one

For some reason Tanner thrives with a little quicker pace. Maybe he overthinks w/ slower pace.

If the coaches wanted to maximize Tanner in the passing game, they'd go shotgun and up-tempo

Agree 100%, Tanner seems to play much better when he has less time to think

I also think the variety in pace throughout a game has value.

Let’s not get carried away. 😉. Think there need to be a mix.

The team needed something to wake them up. Change of pace worked.

I was about to post the same thing

ALC

Totally agree. I think Tanner is best when he doesn't have time to think.

Agreed

The pass to Romney was not perfectly placed

Agree that he should have caught it but to say to it was

QBs should never be required or judged on whether they make a "perfect pass"

CSoul

9/23/18 10:28am

I wasn’t trying to judge Tanner, just saying it wasn’t a perfect pass or the

9/23/18 10:36am

Thats like saying a pass wasn't perfect because it hit a receiver on one of the

meant as reply to Littlerich, and anyone else who says it was "underthrown"

Perfect placement on a deep ball is where the receiver can catch it, and the

cougaman

9/23/18 10:43am

Disagree with your definition. A perfectly placed deep ball is one where

Littlerich

Romney’s hands weren’t perfectly placed it looked like to me.

Again, Mangum is meh, but the methods many on here use to judge him

CSoul

9/23/18 10:24am

I was not trying to place all the blame on Tanner

Littlerich

9/23/18 10:35am

It was not a difficult catch, so the "made more difficult" was nominal

CSoul

9/23/18 10:43am

Uptempo caused McNeese fits

9/23/18 10:09am

I disagree with Tanner's accuracy on the roll out. He threw some of his best

Sandy Lyle

9/23/18 10:40am

Seems better rolling right as opposed to left.

JuicyJam

9/23/18 10:41am

All right hand QB's do better rolling right.

shakarocks

9/23/18 10:49am

Blaine seems convinced the opposite should be true.

JuicyJam

9/23/18 10:59am

Blaine also called a counter play to Katoa a "double trap"

ALC

9/23/18 11:13am

I think you misunderstood

shakarocks

9/23/18 12:11pm

Nope. Blaine is very clear.

JuicyJam

It's really nice to have a good kicker again.

Its Katoa
