    I'm NOT trying the make this a Ben bash thread, please don't. Instead, I ask anyone that has witnessed or reviewed any sort "wide opens" that Ben missed.

    Let's say third and 5 motion motion whatever and the ball gets thrown to the third option.

    Is Ben progressing to fast in his reads? Maybe not fast enough? Are there pre snap reads being missed?

    Does anyone here review the all 22 and if so where can I get that?!?!


    There have been some situations that I felt were manageable in game. However, I'd like to get to the bottom of it.

    Is it a bad play/route concept or is it misdiagnosed?

    Insight are very welcome as I couldn't say for certain either way.

    Read: opinions are welcome but let's get some film

    You have to hit the receiver in stride to have success, #7 hasn't done this for
    many years.

    I posted two plays from the all-22 here:

    Probably confirming your thesis

    As the retirement tour continues some of us know its over.

    He can't step into his throws. His launching bombs are off. I'm sure he is in constant pain and the knees are shot. Working the middle of the field is an after thought.

    And now with the myriad of injuries lets add the pec.

    He is our QB providing he can finish the season. This hopefully is his last.

    What some seem 2 not understand is,....or maybe it doesn't fit their narrative...:shrug: I don't know, but.....In one of the plays being shown....if a play is schemed....You have read 1, 2, 3, and so on.....if You run said play and, 1st read is open....You do not skip Him , and go 2 the next read...even if 2nd, or 3 options end up being a bigger gain...
    It's just not how it's supposed 2 be done.
