Sam played tough and gritty and gave it his all, but was limited by Herman’s dumbass hero ball offense that got him hurt every year.
Quinn was given a great offense but clearly held back and played timid to avoid hits. Even if it was smart at times to throw away a dead play, there’s also times where ya gotta make a play. He wouldn’t step up in the pocket or step into throws. Frustrating to watch.
I’d rather have watched Trey Owens go if Manning wasn’t ready. Somebody who can run the offense and make a play rather than panic when the rush is coming.
this same shit was happening all season and showed up worse against a good defense.
1:29 doesn’t step into the throw because the rush, slow ball there not on time, gets picked.
3:14 holds the ball, zero pocket awareness, stands still until sacked
12:00 doesn’t step into the throw, tosses it out to get picked again
14:00 panics when he sees the blitz and throws side arm to get batted down
There’s 20 highlights of our defense playing their ass off to keep us in this one.
We would’ve won this game with fucking swoopsdozer offense the way our defense was playing.
