When its obvious....so you know the play called, the reads the receiver and QB are looking for, and how the defense played the receiver throughout the route, and the defensive front seven played this play to cause disruption and moving the quarterback off the spot where the point of attach originated?
I reject the notion fans who watch this game, and in the normal telecast do not show all 22 on the field at the snap, while focusing on all the routes, blocks, stunts and twists and QB at the same time, that anyone can know for certain why a play breaks down.
Much less think people sitting at home have a professional level understanding of this game to know all the things above.
For years I suffered through the people claiming they knew the play before the snap.
Well, let's see, it's either going to be a run or a pass. Well, it's third an 8, chances are it will be a pass. Unless in the scouting report the OC understands on third and 8 in this portion of the field at this time in the game their tendencies are to edge rush, while dropping back a defensive lineman to clog a passing lane therefore they are liable to leave the middle open for the lead draw.
The facts about Dak from last season was clearly Dez losing a step and his attitude sucked. Beasley was bracketed to take away that outlet. Williams had a crappy season. Zeke was not on the field, Smith was injured and missed time. The team allowed their LG to walk during the previous off season. The team had no option for back-ups in case of injury or misjudging Leary's replacement. And defenses were playing 8 man fronts and blitzing to throw Dak out of his comfort pocket and timing.
People say he cannot throw deep, yet he can when he has time. He plays a safer game rather than tossing picks. Why does no one suggest the West Coast offense have QB's that cannot throw deep. Frankly Montana was a noodle arm compared to most QB's.
There is a great deal of assumption about this game by fans that proves to be opinion. Including mine.
Yup, but I'm not talking about the hidden things that the camera doesn't pick up every time. It's really not that complicated what I was trying to say and a lot of times replays show a different angle giving us a better view. Again, my post wasn't all about Dak, but it seems the response was treading towards excuses for Dak and that's what I'm trying to avoid in this conversation. Good day.
