Why do they even bother keeping him around? Too bad they didn’t keep Bean instead then eh? -
If you want detailed breakdowns about QB play, there's no one better than JT O'Sullivan. His YT channel is called QB School, and he gives what you're looking for. Good place to start, go to the 11:30 mark of this video for discussion about footwork: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOTCdHFsQgs My opinion on the 2nd pass to Pittman is going to be unpopular. I think Pittman ran his route at half speed, and broke off too early. Watch his route, pay attention to the cushion from the DB, and look at when Richardson throws the ball. The throw is to the sideline, at the marker. Pittman runs his route just short of the marker, and is still about two yards away from the sideline when the ball arrives. It's an RPO, so the timing of the throw is critical. I don't think Richardson was rushing, and I think his footwork and mechanics are fine on this throw. He's lined up to throw to the left, he opens his hip so he's not fighting across his body, he doesn't short arm or drop his arm slot like he sometimes does on quick throws. These are the problems he's had on throws to the left at times this season, and I don't think those were a factor on this throw. I'd like for him to set his front foot more deliberately, but he gets his foot down and executes an acceptable throwing motion. I think Pittman wasn't where he was supposed to be. He should have been about a yard further downfield, and closer to the sideline, which he would have been had he run his route with a little more urgency. I'll also say that this is a throw where Richardson could stand to take some speed off of it. A softer throw would allow Pittman an opportunity to adjust and make the catch. And with the separation from the DB, there was enough time for a more accommodating pass. Richardson will need to figure out when to use one of his shorter clubs, particularly when throwing to Pittman, who doesn't always run his routes with his hair on fire. By the way, contrast this with Richardson's overthrow to Pittman vs the Bears, when he's throwing across his body to the left, and his feet aren't planted to throw. Or the 4th and 2 against the Texans, overthrow to AD Mitchell, when Richardson drops his arm angle and the ball sails on him. These inaccuracies are due to mechanics. The throw to Pittman this week was fine mechanically, and I don't think he necessarily missed his spot. At first, I assumed it was another inaccurate throw to the left. After watching more closely, I think he needs to get in sync with Pittman on routes like that. We can blame either one of them, or both, but I don't think it's an issue of him being unable to put the ball where he wants to. Not on that throw. -
I can see where you might think that depending on how you read my previous reply. But pointing out what I consider to be absurd doesn't mean I'm taking this stuff too seriously. it's nonsense to question playcalling and scheme but reasonable to question medical diagnoses? I can see this in some cases but definitely not all. well just for clarity, the discussion here has been about AR and whether he could/would have finished the game had the Colts not had a 17 point lead, not JT's ankle. -

Inclement weather, wind and rain will be key factors in this one. I have attended this game every year in the past 12. I’m probably the jinx, but I’m going to keep going till we get a win. So if AR can go, his legs will need to be utilized so that hip better be 100%. If not, Joe goes. I saw a stat that was mind blowing, the last 10 years in playing in Duvall, Colt’s 3rd down efficiency is 22%, Jacksonville 58%. Turnover's, Colt’s 26, Jacksonville 7. Sacks, Colts 18, Jags 37. Someone said it earlier, we seem to leave our game on the bus when we play in this house of Horrors!
