    Let's just be completely honest here. We don't give a **** how he does it, as long as he helps us win ball games.

    Where were you two discussing whether or not he won the game or not?

    DW was right. In that game, 13 out of 36 of his passes were screens. As for when he played Michigan and Ohio State, I don't know how many of those were screens.


    He also threw 53 screens, not 40. Halfback screens still count as a screen play.

    My point before was his 43 or 53 screens are still well within line of what NFL QB's do, people act as if he only throws screens, he throws a lot less than several NFL QB's last year..

    Those pop pass screens to the WRs are run plays that can create misdirection. No sense in not using them.

    Add in play action to those... And then fake screens... See where this is going?

    That can be a wrinkle in every game. As long as you get off on the right foot, they can eliminate a lot of pressure for Mariota.

    Speaking of screens.

    I remember seeing Locker throw a couple of screens practically into the ground or where the receiver had to leap up to catch it.

    At least we have a QB who can actually throw what should be the easiest pass when it's called upon.

    Glass half full.

    VY would throw at your feet, then Locker offset that by throwing 12 feet in the air, time to master one of the easiest plays

    VY and locker both drove me nuts with the inability to execute screens
