Pittman's Penalty, 8:55 of 4th Qtr

Recommended Posts

I reviewed it once during the game and a few times today, I did not see the false start and anything worthy of calling a false start penalty.  After watching the replay of the game tonight, my initial reaction was the related the to the play prior, a run by Hines in which towards then end of the run, Pittman made an aggressive block on the DB on the defensive side of the pile-up and it even looked like Ryan Kelley was looking who is that.  I was thinking the referee did not call a penalty on the block but called him for a false start on the next play.  Maybe I'm thinking too deep into this?

 

I like that he is an aggressive blocker, Reich did say he is a good blocker.  Keep it up and passes will be coming his way, in due time, at least he did play, coming back from his injury, getting some initial rust off and did not have an injury set-back.  We still got over half a season left.

What I have figured out is if you look at a few penalties called, you will find something that was called on a ghost. 

In turn there is so much "unseen" it's just as bad. It has a tendency to even itself out. 

There is not enough eyes to catch every penalty in real time live.

Is he though?  I don't recall the situation he is referring to in the Colts game...  but in last night's game they almost called helmet to helmet on a play and decided not to call it....  the very next play they called the defense for leading with the helmet, when he clearly did nothing wrong.  Sometimes it seems when the refs have a couple close calls that they decide not to throw a flag, they find a reason to throw one on the following play.  It is probably just a mental thing due to being human and not anything malicious.  Basically they feel it might look like they are being too one sided so psychologically, without realizing it, they make a call on the other team easier than normal.  I can't tell you how many times I have said out loud, "here comes a make up call", and there is a random holding call on the offense they don't show a replay of on the next play.  Maybe I'm thinking too deep into this?

He is thinking too much into it.  

 

Two completely non-descript plays that had little impact in the game and certainly no impact on the outcome.

I haven't had a chance to rewatch the game... it's not uncommon for officials to get the number of the player wrong on false start calls though.  Any chance another player (maybe Pascal #14) moved and they accidentally said #11?

    • Why does Steichen play calling remind me so much of Frank Reich? 3 runs up the middle, then call a screen on 3rd and 17. He's had some really bad series play calling wise these last few games.  Speaking of, how is this team still so bad at running/defending screens still??    Franklin needs to be benched. That dude is doing his best Shaq Leonard impression and and he flat out sucks.    It would be nice to see a TE pass once a game for crying out loud.    That was a game of who's QB is less crappy. (not sure ours was better tbh) but that was brutal to watch.    AR has got to figure out his footwork. These sailing balls are out of control and happen way too often. Then when he tried to put touch on the pass, it's underthrown. They have got to devote more time to his mechanics.    I would've liked to see better blocking for JT. JT made some stuff happen, but he got stuffed quite often too. There are other runs beside up the middle there Steichen.    AR playing out of shotgun is getting old.    If Latu stays healthy, we got the steal of the draft.    I will say that if your O-line features Matt Pryor at guard, you're gonna have problems. 
    • Can't keep having your safety be leading tackler. We will also lose Cross to injury if the rest of the team can't learn how to tackle.    Especially Franklin    
    • I still think the inaccuracies and the sailing of his throws is masking the progress he's made as a QB. I think decision-making-wise and when it comes to reading the defense, he's on a very good trajectory. He looks like a QB who knows what he's doing, who knows where he needs to go with the ball. He probably needs to work on his timing with the receivers a bit and he needs to be a bit quicker with his decisions at times, but overall those are things a young QB will naturally get better at with time and experience.   Just take a moment and think about it - it feels like almost every single one of his worst looking throws are throws where he went through his progression, read the defense and made the right decision. Just the throws themselves were off. Some of them WAY OFF.    Now don't get me wrong, at some point he will need to start hitting those throws because at the end of the day what's the point of reading the defense and making the right decision if you sail the ball 5 yards over the receiver's head? If he doesn't get better at that, he will bust, because no team will have the patience for a vet QB who can't hit those type of throws with any consistency. I really hope the coaching staff is working with him on it and we see some progress by the end of the season.
