Full Game Replay | Duke

[Cuse On 3]

This thread is all based on a replay. Go to 4:30 of the video and decide for yourself.

I don't think it was tipped, but I think he was rushed by his lack of protection.

Not sure it would have mattered given how that safety was pursuing. Didn't seem to be any other WRs attracting that safety's attention.

Yea either way it was on him.

watching the replay and the huge wobble, it does look tipped, it was about 10 yds underthrown so that would explain it.

I have thanked you before with no response

can't thank a thankyou. that just creates an endless mobius strip in the house of Escher.

Tipped by whom? The DE on the right side is well behind him. You can see in the endzone angle he isn't that close. The DE on the left side hits Collins' body.

Do you really think the ball gets that far if it were tipped?

 

[upperdeck]

Maybe. But is there a reason the ball was wobbling so bad the instant it left his hand. from the side angle you can see it. I didnt see ither passes with that kind of wobble, almost enough to begin to think it was going to go end over end.

I didn't think it was tipped live either , just that it was vastly under thrown. but watching replay it does look tipped

the main issue is that I cant see a view to tell me where they would draw the safety eyes in that coverage.

We blocked 7 they sent 6, but both tackles missed the block. Now if we sent the inside slot guy across the safety might not react to the deep ball as easily but he just curled. The throw needs to be skinny post to work at all with the release the WR got

It was a better spiral that Shrader's passes. It seemed more like a rushed throw that was all arm and no body.

you freeze frame it and it was not even close to a spiral. and you also from behind can see the hand swipe just as the arm starts to go forward.

He swipes but doesn't make contact. You can see on the endzone cam.

IMHO watching the game through again, I feel more optimistic about Rickie. Yes he made some mistakes, locking in on his target has got to end, but there was some good as well. He stood in and made some difficult throws while also making the simple ones look simple. Ball placement was excellent for the most part and he did show the ability at times to read the field/work through his progressions correctly. Untimely penalties, fumbles, and drops certainly didn’t help the offense. Not saying Rickie doesn’t have plenty room to improve, however rewatching it gave me some hope the offense to improve this weekend.
