VY Film Study: Game 1 - Jags

god, what a piss poor performance he had

 

Can you expand on what exactly was so bad about it? He threw 2 bad picks and the only other bad throw was the one he overthrew johnson with. There were 4 or 5 throws that hit the receivers hands and 2 or 3 throws that were good throw aways. It's like some of you guys don't even watch other football games and think all nfl qbs have no bad throws.

 

One very noticeable thing is that regardless of the throw, the Wide Receivers have no separation. There seemed to be a cornerback on them step for step.

 

One thing I notice is every receiver he throws to is the one with 3 guys around him. Lets see...4 guys on the line, 3 on one guy, that leaves...

yep. Someone was probably open.

 

I think Vince for the most part made good reads and decisions on where to throw the ball. He had 2-3 bad throws (which obviously is 2-3 too many for QB who should manage the game and not turn the ball over).
Aside from the bad throws, Vince found open targets and receivers in single coverage. On some of the throws the lack of receiver separation was a big part of the problem (post to J.Mac batted down, deep ball to J. Mac down the middle). On other plays it was the timing between receivers and Vince and accuracy of Vince that was the problem (medium pass to a free Gage on the left side, and deep ball to J. Mac on the left side).
Would i have liked to see more out of the Passing offence? Of course. But the Jaguars are a good defense and all in all i think Vince did good on the field.

Now what bugs me though is how he seems to let the INT's bother him. I've seen his "pouting" being discussed on this board here before, and while I wouldn't call it pouting it really bothers me that he can't seem to shake the INT's he makes in a game. Of course he is angry with himself, but sitting with his head in his hands thinking about it doesn't help the team and it won't help himself either.

 

You know it's funny-VY's low throw to Gage looks almost identical to a pass I saw thrown last night by Jay Cutler*...except Brandon Stokely mad a great catch on that pass. The announcer's declared, "what a great pass" "put it where only his receiver could catch it" etc... With VY's, we all saw what happened. Gage dropped the ball.

*For the record, I'm not claiming VY is as accurate as Cutler. Just saying that these throws in particular looked similar.

 

What a load of crap. Point me to one throw on that video where the receiver wasn't single covered.

With the exception of his first pick, every throw was to an open receiver or a guy in single coverage.

I'm not here to defend VY, but don't spout off crap that is clearly not true. His reads (with the exception of the first pick) were spot on.

 

to be honest...this game was no worthy of boos..He looked half decent, and take away two throws and we are all probably talking about how Vince is back to his old self and then some.

 

The first interception: 3 defenders, 1 Titan.
The throw into Double coverage in the endzone.

The rest looked reasonable.
