I kinda wanna re-watch that game and try to keep an eye on McDuffie.

Because I'm not convinced that this guy isn't a genuine star caliber player already. It looked like the Jags wanted ZERO part of that kid.

In baseball they'll tell you that the hitters will tell you how good a pitchers stuff is by the nature of their swings against him. Well in football I think a corner can largely be judged by the way an offense reacts to his presence.

Sure - Watson made a great play. But you know why I think McDuffie was better than him last night? Because McDuffie never HAD to make a play. The Jags simply weren't going to challenge him.

I think he really only had that one holding penalty...that I can remember.

That is the biggest testament to CB play. The best usually don’t have amazing numbers because QBs to to not look their way. When they do, those CBs usually make them pay for it.

And the holding penalty was declined, IIRC.

I think there was a catch on the other side of the field on that play, right?
[Reply]

Yeah, it was the one where the dude was wide fucking open for like 20 something yards. Can't remember if that was a breakdown in coverage or what. I think Watson took the underneath route and the safety didn't come over far enough.
[Reply]

I think I remember both coverage players, biting on the underneath route, but can’t remember whose responsibility it was deep
[Reply]

Both the corner and safety jumped the short out receiver. I believe the corner was supposed to pass the deep guy to the safety but the safety jumped the short route.
[Reply]

This is true
[Reply]

I'm pretty sure that was Watson's fault, but it's all conjecture without really knowing the playcall. But, you know, that is going to happen with 5 rookies taking significant snaps.
[Reply]

Yeah it's possible, but it's playoff football too, he's up against better players, and in the case of the RT a guy who kept going early.
[Reply]

Awe the excuses continue, as I said he'll make his bones in the playoffs but the 1st game he fell flat. He's not Justin Smith or Tamba Hali
[Reply]

Eh, not a great game from him, for sure.

I only noticed him three times: once on the TD he was in coverage, him not keeping contain on that end around, and another time on a routine pass rush where he took himself about 10 yards too far upfield.

Hoped for more but can’t expect monster games from every rookie.

Jaylen Watson, McDuffie, Cook, and Josh Williams all played well enough as far as the young guys go.
[Reply]

:-):-):-):-):-) You cried because we didn't draft a dumbass mother fucker that gave himself a neck injury and has an arrest warrant out on him during the playoffs because of his idiotic actions.
