Twitter: Broaddus: Josh Ball only had two bad plays

[superonyx]

Which is exactly what I meant when I said that missed fumble on Schultz changed the complexion of that entire game with the Colts. You get it!

Give it up.
The missed fumble he recovered changed the entire complexion of the game? Seriously dude you looked bad enough the first time. You need some more...

but that's the key....any bad play can lead to a disaster in a close game. its not an excuse. we need dependable that you can plan around. not average that has 3 bad plays....

btw, did he have any good plays where he dominated the defender?

Can't look at it that way.
If not for Turpin's fumble, what would have happened from there. Could have been another nice drive for a TD.
Then we are playing with a lead, and not from behind. A lot different at 14-0 from 7-7 giving them momentum.
That type of thing can change a game and how the plays are called from there.

Wrong, elite defense doesn’t rely on gimmick to be good.

He was only bad two plays? Damn Broaddus.

I think it's more a matter of how terrible he was in pre-season.

 

[Creeper]

Ball has obvious problems with the speed rush. Two bad plays with the same defender speed rushing. Thank goodness that DE decision to incorporate other pass rush moves. If he would have kept speed racing for the rest of the game he could have had four sacks.


Malik Collins was killing Biadasz. I was like, damn how come we didn't keep him? But then I remembered Biadasz sucks moving lateral.

As you would expect a guy playing in the NFL for the first time. He has to get used to the speed of the game and the only way to do that is to practice and play against starting caliber players.

I would use Peters at RT and maybe rest him a few series by putting Ball out there.

From the guy who constantly defended Chaz Green.

That one might leave a mark!!!

That was the perception.

That was hardly the reality.

Here's what Todd Archer said about Tyron Smith after his rookie preseason... sounds a lot like what could be accurately said for Ball...

Have become increasingly persuaded, based partially on what I've read Cowboys fans on Twitter say, that the attitude is rooted in his indiscretion at 18 yrs old.

He's 24. He's not had any new history in that way. But it still appears to color how some if not many fans look at the guy.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

For context, Josh Ball only played three snaps…

 

[Risen Star]

He's not a rookie under any intents/purposes.

 

[terra]

So if he played two bad out of 26, that means he would have four bad plays per game or so

Broadus sometimes is a complete tool

 

[ThreeandOut]

Early indications are that Ball and Peters will be splitting time at RT going forward.

 

[SixFiveCowboy]

He was only bad two plays? Damn Broaddus.

It's comments like this is why you see Broaddus in the radio booth and not in scouting or personnel any longer LOL

 

[lukin2006]

He was outstanding in the 1st half…

I mean really…..that’s insane to even post on Twitter.

 

[stinkface]

Geez Broadbutt. That's like saying the QB played great except for the two interceptions thrown into double coverage that were both returned for touchdowns.

 

[shabazz]

This is all Prescott's fault.

…..and the 23.9 QBR and 2 INTs isn’t.

 

[_sturt_]

He's not a rookie under any intents/purposes.

*sigh* Some people can be so spot-on sometimes, but more consistently than anything else, so tedious and ill-informed. Really.

Contrarian that I am, I don't accept the conclusive assertions of someone just because he considers his assertions as-if descending from Mt. Sinai. We all know when he was drafted. We also all know he was on IR and never played a down in 2021. Which explains why he's still considered a rookie.

But why argue with a peon like me? Argue with these people.

 

[pansophy]

He had 2 bad plays and got sent back to the bench

Jimmy Johnson would talk about evaluating a player on how many bad plays they had versus how many good ones.

No, he sure didn't. He sucks...big time.
