Alphadawg7 Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 If it's the same play in thinking of it wasn't to Shady. It was to the third back. Name escapes me atm. Watch the play again. He almost stopped his route. Had he continued to run it was a good throw. Tyrod can't anticipate players stopping their routes do no apparent reason. People can't complain Tyrod doesn't throw people open and then complain Tyrod overthrow the ball when receivers stop their route. Yes it was to a back up RB, 3rd guy, and he clearly slows his route down. Had he not, that would have been a pin point pass. You are right on with this assessment. People are going to pile on TT for it and label it an "excuse" about the RB slowing up, but there is no disputing that when a player slows down that he wont reach the point of the field where he is supposed to be when the ball is thrown there. Saw people in shout box blaming TT for not noticing he's wasn't running fast enough which is one of the most absurd things I have ever heard. The kid slowed up like he thought the ball was not going towards him and when he saw the ball was headed his way accelerated to try and get there and came up short because of the earlier let up. Thats all on the player not making the effort and running a lazy route.

I'm not in love with Taylor's accuracy - it isn't pinpoint, but I think it's about NFL average. I keep saying it - there's a lot to like about Taylor.
