Using Mike Mayock's analysis on nfl.com from 3 days ago are you? :laugh2:
That pass interference on Amukamara, Blackmon just ran by him. You don't bring that up do you? Would have been a 50-60 yard TD.
The flea flicker trick play, Amukamara was running with blakcmon then got taken off on during that wheel route. Amukamara gets into position once the ball is caught 55 yards after that and totally whiffs on the tackle, lets Blackmon run another 30 yards into the endzone. 85 yard flea flicker TD. You bring that up as not being abused.
Blackmon was isolating him on a block that gained 10 yrd run for a first down on another play on this footage. You don't bring that up.
Blackmon toasts Amakumara after a horrible play action by the QB for another monster. You don't bring that up
Blackmon gains 17 yards on a 10 yard first down come back/inside curl route. You don't bring that up.
Does it again but OSU gets a holding, so I give Amakumara the pass on that one.
Please, it was more than catches on a trick play and jump ball on an underthrown ball all game.
Amukamara was abused and frustrated. Any 3 of our starting WR's would make him just as dizzy, if not more. So would a lot more #1 WR's in this league.
If OSU had a better QB it would have been even uglier for Amukamara.
Good try with the Mayock analysis where he leaves out 3-4 other scenarios.
This guy is not a top 10 pick.
Few things ..
If you think this is the first time I have been this adamant about how much of garbage it is to bring up Blackmon vs Amukamara as a knock on Prince, then you haven't been paying attention. Since the day it happened I have been steady on what I've said.
But if you want to make silly comments to
try to prove your point, go ahead.
Further if you want to count me as listening to any draft analyst, Mayock would be dead last on my list. After the garbage he spewed last year that made the rounds last year on Husker boards when he fully believe McCoy was not only a better pass rusher than Suh, no matter that Suh absolutely decimated McCoy statistically. He furthered it by thinking McCoy was actually better than Suh. After hearing that mess for months, I've been done listening to Mayock.
Back on point - I have watched that game probably 5 times in full. For different reasons, but Taylor Martinez's performance was remarkable, and I loved Eric Martin's hit from that game. But I doubt you remember either of those, since you likely only saw Youtube clips or a box score from that game. :laugh2:
Your breakdown of the plays ..
On the PI - stop listening to the notorious Ed Cunningham about Amukamara. Yes, Prince interfered, but Prince was not 'beat' on that play. Half-step behind with the ability to get a hand over the shoulder for a CB is not 'beat'. Good throw to the pylon over the shoulder by Weeden would make it a tough play by any CB. But if Weeden puts that ball anywhere else Prince is in position to make a play.
On the flea flicker - again, I doubt you remember how Kendall Hunter was absolutely pimp slapping Nebraska's run defense in that 1st half, and how he ended up with 200+ yards on the ground that day and 146 in the 1st half. If you watch, Nebraska's safeties and all 3 CBs bit on that play, and rightfully so thanks to OSU mauling us up front. The flea-flicker working the way it did was more a result of OSU running wild to setup that pass, more than anything else. That isn't a matter of Prince getting beat, but Nebraska trying to overcompensate for OSU's run game killing them.
You isolate one run block play. Even I said Prince struggles in run defense, but isolating that play out of a video when how many other run plays happened in that game is complete weak sauce to try to bolster your point.
'Toasts' him again on what playaction for a huge gain?
Blackmon only caught 5 passes in the game, bruh. Underthrown pass, the comeback, and the flea-flicker. Blackmon's other 2 catches in the game came in the 2nd half and if you want to get technical about what they were ..
Blackmon on Eric Hagg in the slot. Very short crossing route for about only a 2 yard gain.
Blackmon on Eric Hagg inside again. Runs a bit of a wheel route and catches a 25 yard TD during garbage time late in the game.
Blackmon's 2nd half stats - 2 catches 27 yards.
Blackmon's 2nd half stats on Amukamara - 0 catches, 0 yards
Again, a trick play, an underthrown pass (which Amukamara had position on) and a comeback route that Prince was beat cleanly on. But that = abused. :laugh2:
But like I said, watching only a Youtube video gives you a pretty jaded view, eh?
If you want the full video in 720p (because I'm cool like that), then let me know. Would be glad to hook you up with a copy so you can actually
WATCH the game.
on both of guys.
