The TD pass that Jourdan Lewis gave up near the goal line was a product of trash effort and technique.

On the play, Keenan Allen goes into motion toward the right sideline. Lewis is in man coverage and lazily follows him in motion trailing 2-3 yards behind him. Ball is snapped and Allen runs a simple flat pattern in the endzone for an easy score because Lewis is effectively beaten in coverage before the ball is snapped.

Zero excuse for this weak sauce.

Agree. Mental not physical issue.

There certainly wasn't any urgency, for sure.

No doubt. Terrible effort. Allen saved Justin's *** because that ball was thrown behind him. Allen made one helluva adjustment on that catch.

Kearse did something very similar vs McCaffrey; although not in the redzone.

I think you have to understand the game a little better to criticize a play as lazy or weak sauce. There was a strong possibility Allen was gonna go back in motion again on the other side, which is what makes it a difficult play for the slot CB. What should have happened on the play is for all DBs to communicate and switch to a combination of man/zone, where Gilmore takes the outside (so Allen), and the other 2 CBs divide into a zone/man coverage on the two middle slots.

Must be your first time watching an nfl game lol

Happens damn near every week

Not to mention it’s easy to sit on your *** talking smack. If Lewis sprints to follow him and Allen cuts inside - he also is beaten easily

You should probably sit this one out

You’re talking out your arse.

They obviously weren’t playing zone because they didn’t pass off coverage responsibility.

Everything else you wrote is from your imagination of “what should have happened,” which isn’t rooted in the reality of what happened on the play.

Lool, wrong.

Imagine watching that play and thinking Lewis played it perfectly.

You mirror the receiver and try to be in a position to be squared up at the snap to match the route where he takes you. You don’t trail so far behind out of fear of giving up inside leverage that you concede the outside.

When you trail the receiver as Lewis did you automatically give up outside leverage and it results in backyard pitch and catch between the QB and receiver.

what really sucks on that play is everyone else did their job, if they handed it off parsons wouldve gotten him, the rest of the receivers were locked down.

He was jogging. I wanted him cut when he headbutt the Giants player a few years ago.

What did JJ say?

Hit me with a hammer if I draft another dumb player.

It seems Jerry loves drafting dumb players to try and prove a point.

Sam Williams is the latest. Joseph was another.

He’s used to guarding Cowboys motion in practice and jogging seems like their only method so he was probably shocked to see someone running before the snap.
LOL this is funny but so true. Look at the best offenses in the NFL and you see the same thing. Tons of pre snap motion at a high level of intensity.

I didn’t say he played it perfectly. But if you watch the nfl, you will literally see this in every game
