He was being held still by 2-3 Colts players and then got blasted. If that was Doyle or Ebron...we would have wanted a flag there as well.

 

It was just a poor and unnecessary play to make.

 

Ehhhh he didn't really blast him, and the ref doesn't whistle until #53 has already started the tackle. What is meant to do? Stop mid air?

that totally believable he is way too conservative imo

That's always been his motto. Luck/Farve threw INT's just like that bc they play off instincts more than anything. 
 

Hoyer was feeling great, wanted to get his second TD, and made a dumb mistake. 
 

i want Brissett back in there, but it's not like we are doomed without him for the rest of the GAME.

If you call that getting blasted then I don’t think you’ve ever played a contact sport haha

The throws Hoyer makes have better timing on them than Brissets throws. His reads are better although he didnt put enough velocity on the ball during that int,

The key will be can he sustain it.  Often times backup QBs come in and look really good and then as time goes on and other teams start to prepare for them they show you why they are backups.

Yeah...but I think there's context...it's the end of the half...and they have basically ended the half by throwing a dump off short to a slow TE at midfield...whose momentum has basically stopped. 

 

Colts got the benefit of that with the Watson TD...and now get the other end.

Hopefully he won't have to sustain it passed this week

He led with his helmet.    

Receiver was still churning legs. Leonard was leading with the shoulder. Incidental contact to the helmet in my opinion. But the leagues gonna make an example right? A love tap hit and they’ll come down hard. RBs getting they’re heads rocked off... nothing

Don't disagree that it wasn't perhaps needed, he just got unlucky that the 3rd tackler pulls him down into his path to make it look worse than it really was. Tacky call, but hey ho, don't give the refs chance to throw the flag and all that. They should have blown forward progress well before.

Brissett doesn't throw that pick six. I'm not so sure he throws the td to doyle either. Being that the steelers are number 2 in takeaways we need to protect the ball if we want to win

Yep. Receiver still moving and churning his legs. Incidental contact. But hardly “blasted” like you so dramatically tried to make it seem for some reason

 

You might want to rewatch the play... Leonard made helmet contact as McDonald was falling backwards.  Incidental or not that's going to be a penalty period.  Leonard should have been better

    • Personally I have a little more faith in Minshew if it boiled down to him starting.  Think what you may but don't bet the farm on getting a top 5 pick.  Just saying 
    • Some men might think he’s hot!?! I don’t. LOL
    • Also, I was very curious to see how the early analysts were projecting this class at the end of the 2021 season to see how widely things have changed. Found this super interesting.   On May 4, 2022 Dane Brugler put out his super early mock draft for 2023 before this recent 2022 season was played. Super interesting to see much of this has not changed a whole lot. (I also like Brugler and think his opinions are some of the better ones amongst analysts, which is why I tried to see if he had said anything)   His top 10 (posting in case people can't access the article on The Athletic):   1. CJ Stroud 2. Bryce Young 3. Will Anderson 4. Kelee Ringo 5. Will Levis 6. Jalen Carter 7. Tyler Van * 8. Jaxon Smith-Njigba 9. Bryan Bresee 10. Michael Mayer   Outside of Ringo, you could argue that the top-6 has not changed a whole heck of a lot.   Why is this important if at all? Mainly because these NFL teams scout these guys for years. They aren't just looking at them now for the first time.    Also interesting, in his post-2021 and pre-2022 future draft rankings for 2022 Brugler had the QBs ranked as the following (with their best asset listed):   1. CJ Stroud- touch and anticipation 2. Bryce Young- Poise and processing 3. Will Levis- NFL level tools 4. Tanner McKee- Ball placement 5. Anthony Richardson- Rare physical profile     Sound familiar?  All these things are stillllllll the same. Especially amongst the big 4 QBs.   So I, for one, am not going to go down the path of hating on Levis if he is the choice. He may be my 3rd option, but he has the goods and is worthy of the 1.04 if the staff thinks they can work with him and unlock his potential and make him even more consistent.      https://theathletic.com/3290071/2022/05/03/nfl-mock-draft-2023/     https://theathletic.com/3415147/2022/07/12/nfl-draft-2023-qb-scouting/
    • Making up a boogie man out of thin air i see! Analysis paralysis. Quarterback coaches exist for a reason to help out with identifying pressures and navigating the pocket. So basically we would just tank the whole season bc you feel like(not confirmed in the least bit) Stroud would have problems with pressure so we can be in position to have the #1 pick. And once in position what happens when you find out a new stat about the QB in 24 you dont like? Do we tank again? How many times you want to do that? All this bc of your unconfirmed fears and concerns? Last generational QB we had what did that get us? Not even 1 Super Bowl.   You cant hang your whole hat on that. Chasing the mythical Golden Goose. Sometimes you have to take a guy as he is with all his positive attributes, and whatever needs work you get down in the trenches with him to bring that weak part up to par. Being very honest the tanking proposal itself has desperation all over it, but then you chide somebody else about picking a QB due to desperation? You'd really need to do a whale of a job explaining how picking Stroud represents an act of desperation. Youve made a problem out of something you dont even know will be a real issue.
