Was hoping the game tape was already posted but most likely won't be until tomorrow. Eager to look at a few plays
The one where Metcalf dropped that was right in his hands? He probably saw his 6' 4" WR having an advantage over smaller secondary guys and wanted to give him a chance to make a play. Ball was right there and he dropped it like he does so many other times. If he would have caught the ball like he should, the play wouldnt even be brought up.
i think his point was why take a play to a double covered WR way down field when you have an easier play elsewhere?
The job of the QB is to quickly asses risk and reward, understand the situation, how many yards are needed and look at situations where if one of his WR is doubled, seeing where the open guy might be. Thats the entire plotline of criticism against Russ. Its the chess match that is football. take away one guy or two, leaves someone else open. You can critique DK for not making a highlight catch, or you can critique Russ for choosing to throw a ball that only gets caught if his guy make a highlight catch, when the chess play is finding what the defense just gave you.
