But as Moore pointed out, with that particular coverage either Dak has to go somewhere else or Cobb has to cut off his route.

Looked to me like Dak made a bad read or throw. But you never know. The Heath pick wasn't his fault, however.

I would tend to agree with both of your statements.

My opinion is it's August 1st, this is why you have training camp, and some folks work way too hard to validate their preconceptions.

I did NOT ask who was to blame.

The question is "what if" Cobb stops or cuts inside.

I really just wanted to see how people would analyze the play.

It's a practice INT, I do NOT have a need to defend Dak or hype Woods or criticize Cobb on a practice pay like this one.

I mean...if you're just asking if Cobb was in the way of the defender then, yea, of course the result is different.

But it's all the stuff that comes beforehand thats the real discussion, imo.

 

[charron]

Blame doesn't matter. What matters is they get together and iron this out so we do not have this issue when it matters.

 

[Outlaw Heroes]

Seems clear from the first image that Woods has inside leverage, to the point that can't even see him because he's shielded by Cobbs. Dak shouldn't have thrown that ball in my opinion. There's no way for Cobbs to regain inside leverage except by running through Woods.

Not rare for this franchise.

51 interceptions in the last 6 years. That's about one every two games.

I'm going with Xavier Woods is suddenly the next Ed Reed.

The best was the Heath pick. Even when he makes a play, its typically luck. Ball initially bounces right off his stone hands. Should have just picked it clean. But because he sucks, he cant make the simple pick. But low and behold, as he is on the ground, the ball pops up and down right into his lap.

Sometimes its better to be lucky then good.

Not a Heath fan but the ball did go through the WR's hands so therefore not an easy catch by any DB with a deflection of some kind!

And I would agree with both Dak and Cobb on blame. Cobb has to break up the int and Dak made a bad read.

 

[Ken]

Dak clearly didn't see the CB blitz and clearly threw the ball too late based on the adjustment Cobb made. That could be Dak's fault as well as it could be Aaron Rodgers'.

Nice de-rail though.

In all honesty...I didn't even look at the play. I would guess I am probably correct though lol

 

[Little Jr]

The X.Woods INT in practice has been debated with regards to why the pick happened.

The 1st image below is the point when the ball was leaving Dak's hand.

The 2nd image below has the INT super-imposed onto the 1st image.
- Where you clearly see #18, Woods is in front and has jumped to catch the ball.
- Everything same as 1st image except Cobb/Woods added at the point of the INT.

The question is with regards to the route by Cobb.

If Cobb stops or cuts inside, does the INT still happen?

Ill go with what Dak said. It was a hot route that Cobb didn't run because it was bad communication.

As far as what would had happen if he did run the right route, who knows. Maybe stll a pick, Maybe a pass break up or maybe a completion.

Well you are wrong. But thanks for confirming what we already know.

Considering youve been wrong a lot in the past, I wouldnt be so confident

there video of this play somewhere? Or are you just basing this off of pics?

can you please cite any of those times please?

 

[InTheZone]

how about a video so we're not having to deciper two snapshots in a millisecond worth of time?

 

[InTheZone]

that pick will scare Dak some more from ever throwing beyond his safe short sideline passes.

It's all over the place

yes, X had his foot planted and was breaking on the play before the ball was released
