BeastMode54 Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 just saw a highlight of that play. Man, I love Poz, but I have no idea how he didn't bat that away. It looks like it took more effort not to deflect it than to do so
deep2evans Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 kind of flukey, that pass gets completed 1 in 50 times.
bills_red Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 Yea he had to miss it by an inch. I really thought he had it (looked like Ko did too cuz seemed like he stop a bit)
BeastMode54 Posted September 22, 2008 Author Posted September 22, 2008 that's what I'm saying. I can't believe it. I didn't have a good view when I was at the game, and I saw him deflect one or two earlier in the game. Just couldn't believe my eyes
deep2evans Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 It was nothing short of nauseating. Still can't believe we came back from that.

It looks like it took more effort not to deflect it than to do so A great deal of TD passes are 1 inch away from being knocked down or intercepted. Time after time, after seeing replays, I wonder how in the world the pass got through the defender.
Fewell733 Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 he took the blame for the long TD after the game - being inches out of position can cost you. I trust Poz to learn from every one of his mistakes.
Jdorn Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 he took the blame for the long TD after the game - being inches out of position can cost you. I trust Poz to learn from every one of his mistakes. Poz will be fine he wasnt really so much out of position as it was a perfect throw its a game of inches.
Preston Ridlehuber Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 The mistake was going for the ball rather then drilling the guy. He said that himself after the game. Also said he did hit the ball, just not enough. It says a lot about the strength of the throw.
Zona Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 Sorry. But the mistake was definitely on Ko Simpson on that play, IMO. He is the FS and its his job to take the proper angle to insure there is no TD. Doesn't matter if Poz bats it or not, the FS plays the angle to stop the td. Ko just took a bad angle. Maybe he is still a little rusty, or still learning on the job, but i dont blame Poz.... you could make the argument that Witner is equally to blame if we were in the cover 2 which I believe we were. The cover 2 is supposed to prevent long plays, not give them up.
BuffaloBlood Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 Not to change topics but What have we thought of Ko Simpson so far this year? My opinion is that hes been ok.... but just ok... gonna need better from him when the games get bigger.

The cover 2 is supposed to prevent long plays, not give them up. It was both, Zona. Poz should have drilled Higgins and not gone for the ball. Simpson took a bad angle to the play. Ko doesn't need to be there if Poz makes the proper play. So they both get the lash, as far as I'm concerned. While it wasn't his coverage, Whitner also took a bad angle to the WR (something you rarely see from Donte). It was a perfect storm of mistakes (and a great throw) that lead to the TD.
