Several games last year Milano would make one or two highlight kind of plays and people thought he had a good or great game when he didn't. Today, he made the four nice plays AND he had a very good all around game on the non highlight reel plays.
Although, granted, virtually everyone on the defense played very well.
He does have the advantage of being able to throw short, medium and long, left, right or down the middle, roll right or left or scramble or read option or straight QB run. Not many rookies can do all of those things.
I repeat, he made a diving catch on a bullet over the middle for a first down last week. Probably the best catch any of our WR has made in three games.
He is the only player who gets separation. We have to at least see if he starts to make the plays. He did make a diving catch for a first down last week as well as a very nice first down run and catch on the mini shovel.
We know Benjamin dropped what could have been a TD. And Foster dropped the bomb. But Josh should have had a second TD pass instead of a second running TD. He threw a bullet to Holmes in the endzone. Holmes bobbled it and finally caught it at the one. It was a good call by the refs. But if he would have just caught it clean, as it was right on the money, that's a TD. Clay also dropped a TD. That's a relatively easy catch on such a nice floater right on the money.
I loved the leap. I think it had a direct affect on the outcome of the game. He knew he needed those three yards. He took that chance at a moment that it really meant something. He's bigger than every running back in the league. Sure he can get hurt like anyone can and I don't want to see John do it unnecessarily but that was fantastic.
All day. All different kinds of throws. He was on fire.
Actually I did watch him. One time in the condensed version every single play I watched him. He was okay. A lot of plays he never blocked anyone. On the INT one could argue he was part of the cause because he had no one to block then took himself out of his spot without doing anything, which is right where Ingram came through to sack Josh who then threw as he was going down. He should have had a penalty one play when he was three yards downfield blocking on a pass play. He was decent in the run game. It was pretty amazing how many plays no one rushed across from him.
Actually two nice plays. The diving catch obviously. But the jetsweep/pass was actually a clever nice run by Foster. As soon as he caught the ball he saw a defender untouched, went back a few yards and then sped around him, showed very nice speed and acceleration and got every yard he could. That was a sneaky good play.
Didn't he say most in the two games, which includes the NP sacks, were not on the linemen? Or did he also specifically say most of the sacks against Allen in this game were on him? Just curious, I didn't see the PC, just read an excerpt.
So he never gets pressures and sacks attributed against him even though he continually gets beat and knocked back because his linemates are so bad their opponents get to our qbs first? Is this what I am supposed to glean?
The DB covering Clay was much faster than Clay who is not used to or good at fly patterns. If he lofted it the DB would have had a better chance at it than Clay. And Josh wasn’t looking at him the entire time. Only when he stepped up in the pocket which was just about to collapse did he see Clay and gun it.
