I don’t really want to speak to that completely unless I can see the play from the side view and see how the defense played it and tbe protection/ all route concepts was called.

However I will say it looks to me like the inside receiver is running a clear out to the middle of the field taking his defender with him on the ball play side and that the outside wr is run into open space inside. That’s usually the case when you clear out trying to create space for the option beside you. But when I see that pitre sitting inside there pre snap to me I don’t care if the play is designed to go there I need my qb to come off of it and work the other side. If you look tua looks to his intentions side slightly pre snap he’s just eye balling it and then post snap he looks opposite side (no doubt to influence coverage assuming a pitre is gonna flow inside with his eyes before coming back to his intentions and pitre running under them. However I think tua tbinks he’s gonna have that window there cause he also misread the coverage at the los pre snap. He expects that inside safety to vacate.

That’s my read on it. he worked the wrong side relative to the coverage cause of a misread primary which lead to a post snap mistake

If it’s not a misread then it’s the definition of a force. I lean more to the former. The outside db is dropping off there so they trying to get him to throw to that option after the clear out breaking inside. I guess in some ways I might call it bait if I could see it from the side more and verify

Agreed. I just do not like the situations Tua threw these interceptions. They definitely should not be happening year 4. He’s not forcing throws, it’s processing and read errors. If he was testing tight windows it would be completely different imo.

let's commiserate together if it happens on 9/10/23 or thereafter.

I get that, thats why I said what I said about taking a knee, sarcastically, as thats not an option in practice.

You throw the ball in practice, even when its not there.
 
and look it is practice and I’m not trying to sound any alarms here but qbs in this league get labeled based on situational play. It doesn’t matter what you do all game if you throw a pick 6 with the game in the balance etc and you do it a few times you’re getting labeled.

There’s a lot of guys who can execute at a high clip until it’s brass balls time and then their warts come forward.

Situational play in practice is situational play in games. Red zone etc.

All I’m saying is I’m not sure this qb is learning from these mistakes where he doesn’t make them again. That’s called learning. When you realize after you make one I can’t do that again. Pre to post snap is where for my money this qb needs to show better

Tua said in the presser that there was a "miscommunication" with the receiver. To me that's nice guy talk for "#3 half-assed it off the line and made zero attempt to either catch the ball or impede the closing defender whatsoever because he was deep in thought about what his next name is going to be". Move the hell on people, if this type of stuff IN A PRACTICE bothers you that much you need therapy. I mean seriously, I can only imagine some of you require a well padded rubber room and straight jacket in order to watch an actual game.

If that last pick to end practice was a situational last play of the game from the 20, then that was always going to be a low percentage play
with the defense having the advantage.

I am not making an excuse for one play because I don't care about the result of one play (good or bad) enough to alter my opinion of a player.

Just the same way every beautiful throw he's made that resulted in a "TD", isn't a real TD.

He's no more prone to making a bad throw than a lof of the other top NFL QB's,
 
Any old timers here have the privilege of watching Danny during training camp?

Did he ever throw any picks back then?

Do you really think that’s the same as several multiple interception practices?

No I am saying at this point some bad practices aren't going to alter my view of a guy that I've seen play 30+ actual games.

Of all the things in life that concern me, Tua's ability to throw a football is going to be at the bottom of the list, even if he throws 5 INT's in practice tomorrow.
