Studs Darnold - numbers don't look great but the eye test was. only 2 Qbs have thrown for more TDs against the ravens this year and none have done it in balt except for sam. His INT seemed more on the fault of the 3rd string TE, jeff smith also cost them a TD by running a wrong route. the o-line was ok but sam brought time with his feet and made plays downfield all day long. a few of them pulled back on penalties too. Sam looked great in this game Crowder - huge breakout game for him. he dropped an easy TD but also made up for it the next play catching a tough one on a perfect pass by darnold. he finished with 6 for 90 and 2 TDs Robby - again another good game where we used him to do more then run deep. had 4 for 66 yards on 6 targets including a 40+ yarder Bell - his best game running as a jet 21 for 87 yards 4.1 Avg. Basham - blocked a punt we returned for a TD and had the lone sack Bless - another great game. I don't remember seeing him let up a catch. Lac - 4 punts for a 51 avg. long of 59 and 2 inside the 20 Return game - ty, smyth, and berrios all had good returns all game long Duds Gase - some bad play calling. he did do some good things. I liked going for it on 4th down, i liked being aggressive and pushing the ball downfield, but he has to come up with more creative plays and trick plays and find ways to manufacture yards with a bad o-line and lack of skill position talent Greg williams - hard to be too upset here. nobody has stopped lamaar and our defense is ravaged with injuries. still i'm sick of seeing hewitt trying to cover Wrs deep. 3rd week in a row. Defense - no pressure, only 1 sack, lamaar shredded us all day long with his legs and arm. O-line - too many penalties, too much pressure on sam, not enough holes in the run game. I mean at this point it's expected but still. Ficken - had a FG blocked and missed an XP. he was 0-1 on FGs and 1/2 on XPs
You forgot to note the ball Robby Anderson could've and should've caught in the end zone that would've completely change the complexion of the game.
He's been MORE physical but he still can't make grabs like that. Plus it was PI. Should have made the catch regardless, but we also should have had the ball on the 1.
I guess. NFL receivers can usually fight through that contact and snag that ball though. If Anderson doesn't have separation he struggles a ton.
Anderson dropped that touchdown early. Later he caught a two point conversion to pull his team within 21 points late in the game and then proceeded to talk trash to some fans and parade around in the back of the end zone... not a "stud" ... a clown..
So it's just way too much to ask him to make a play through contact? Sam retreated and ran for his life instantly and still put it where the receiver, who had a step, could catch it. PI or not, if he was stronger than a middle schooler, he makes that catch. Sam needs players to make some plays every once in a while for him. It wouldn't have been some sort of spectacular catch.
there was light contact but teh ball was literally in Robbie's hands. You HAVE to catch that in the NFL. He did play well otherwise
every WR drops balls when getting PI'd your expectations are insane. robby has been making plays all year
C'mon guy. That was such light pass interference. It's not like he got Neville Hewitt'd. NFL receivers make catches when they get tugged on a little. He has to make that play. No one on this team makes plays like that for Darnold. That's part of the problem we struggle so much on 3rd down when coverage tightend and the run threat is gone.
his body was being turned while he was in the air and his arm grabbed. meanwhile crowder dropped a wide open TD and nobody said shit about him being a stud.
I'm not arguing that. He should have made that grab. Any WR that fancies themselves a WR1 probably needs to make those catches routinely. He's making more plays and he's been a lot better the last few games, but he can't be your 1. Give me Jeudy or Lamb with a healthy Q, Robbie and Crowder and I think you have a lot of nice complementary guys there with Herndon/Griffin up the seam.
That was definitely a tough ball to catch, with the defender draped on him. Robby put in good effort and almost came down with it. This is the call Gase is getting killed for on 4th down. But looking back at the play, this shouldve been a interference call on defense, and if the defense doesnt interfere than it would be a TD. But Man it's easy to dislike Gase, is it a Miami thing, his personality?
Yea, 4-66 with a drop and a 2pt conversion isn’t a stud performance. Wouldn’t call it a dud either though. Probably could have just left him out if the post. He played ok ,could have done more though.
NFL receivers get held with no calls sometimes. It's not unheard of to fight through contact and make a play. The ball hit him in the hands. Him being held doesn't change that fact.
I definitely would not call GW a dud. his adjustment against the run was spectacular. You just can not do what you want with a third string bunch of guys in D particularly in the secondary.
I think it's his personality. he comes off as a cocky arrogant dick despite not having the resume to be like that.
