Come back for it? He turns his body. Surprisingly, he doesn't keep full speed

turning his body. The ball was not underthrown. Defender made a great play. Maybe chalk it up to that. But to say anything negative about Tanner and his throw? That is ridiculous.

Incomplete passes for Tanner yesterday.

This really only tells part of the story though

He had a lot of shorter passes yesterday, but many of them seem to be more by

Great post!

Once thing I would add on the positive side is that he avoids pressure well.

WizeGuise

9/23/18 6:27pm

Yes he does

cougarmanguy

9/23/18 6:30pm

He'll throw the ball away instead of trying to make a late throw into coverage

Y-Zag

kind of reminds me of Heaps, he never seems comfortable in the pocket and ...

Agreed

cougaman

like the pass he threw away in the 4th Q of the Wisconsin game to avoid the sack

icecougar

9/23/18 7:14pm

This is the more accurate assessment - a lot of the sacks he's "avoiding" are

I thought tanner had a very good day. Other players struggled.

Y-Zag

that pass to MLP at the goalline was not a good pass. He threw it way too close

Broken up by the defender but should have been caught why? Tanner underthrew

Please stop. Every team in the country needs their WRs to come up with that

Average receiver has a hard time coming down with a pass at defender gets a hand

He didn't get his hand on the ball, and I don't think that Romney really had

cougaman

9/23/18 6:35pm

If he keeps running at the same speed the pass lands behind him.

SandYFan

9/23/18 6:37pm

Have you watched the replay? He had to come back for it and defender hit is arm.

Come back for it? He turns his body. Surprisingly, he doesn't keep full speed

You must not watch a lot of football if you don’tthink that wasn’t underthrown.

Cnation

Your saying this to the guy who just rewatched and broke

GSwarriorcoug

Watching it live it looked well under thrown.

3 yards? No. Maybe half a yard. He did have the inside track and if the ball was

Agree to disagree.

I would love to see any evidence to show me otherwise.

That’s just it. Had to be there. Only 53k were so we will let it rest.

I’m not throwing Tanner under the bus nor am I one of those fans.

StalwartBraveTrue

9/23/18 11:18pm

Like I said in my other thread, it was slightly behind. But 2-3 feet on a 45

cougaman

9/23/18 11:23pm

And are we sure their CB doesn't just have closing speed to make up some of that

cougaman

9/23/18 11:24pm

Exactly. Thanks for understanding. 👍🏻

StalwartBraveTrue

9/23/18 11:15pm

Just watched it. Very catchable. That’s not on Tanner

cajuncoug

9/23/18 8:21pm

Offensive player had both hands on the ball for enough time to secure the ball.

cougaman

9/23/18 6:32pm

It was more than a touch. Romney had to slow down to adjust to the ball

SandYFan

9/23/18 6:34pm

This is a really good point. If it's not a perfect pass, then the WR shouldn't be expected to come up with it.

SpiffCoug

9/23/18 6:35pm

As long as you realize the pass was underthown I'm fine.

SandYFan

9/23/18 6:38pm

Several yesterday referred to it as “perfect” catchable yes but not easy catch

Osteotome

9/23/18 7:09pm

Especially if you are on scholarship- just make a play

acougfan

9/23/18 11:57pm

It was a fine throw. That's a long ball. He should have caught it.

LiveCoug

9/23/18 6:37pm

Why?

SandYFan

9/23/18 6:38pm

Because he got two hands on it

webster242

9/23/18 6:44pm

Defender knocked it with his hand. All bets are off at that point.

SandYFan

9/23/18 6:46pm

Maybe you should focus more on the play of the defender then instead of fishing

I've watched it about a dozen times. I don't see a WR slowing down for an

cougaman

9/23/18 6:38pm

He turns, and gives the defender a clue the ball is coming. He keeps running and

cougaman

9/23/18 6:40pm

He slows down and he still has to turn around to catch it. If he keeps his speed

SandYFan

9/23/18 6:46pm

Tanner has his faults. This throw was not one of them. It was fine and should have been a catch. The end.

LiveCoug

9/23/18 6:49pm

Stating your opinion over and over isn't very convincing.

SandYFan

9/23/18 6:56pm

Saying he had to come back for the pass is completely void of truth

coug10278

9/23/18 7:01pm

You can see what you want.

SandYFan

9/23/18 7:04pm

Yeah what actually happened. Any speed he lost is because he turned & jumped

coug10278

9/23/18 7:13pm

SO HE SLOWED DOWN AND STILL HAD TO TURN TO CATCH THE BALL.

SandYFan

9/23/18 7:33pm

Oh totally changed my mind because of the all CAPS

coug10278

9/23/18 8:14pm

Way to ignore the substance. I'll take that as you saying you're wrong.

What substance...the CAPS...bravo.

This is CB...where anything goes. Now it was well underthrown.

4.6 ypa against a fcs team.

Is That Tanners fault or a Grimes?

How did it compare to last year? You tell me?

Yeah. That would have been much worse than losing the game

Romney's dropped pass would have changed it. So is it a receiver problem?

Tanner threw a mediocre ball that allowed the defender to get a hand on it.
