Seattle #50 has Logan Thomas covered on his route and by the time LT started jogging back toward Haskins Haskins was already winding up to throw it. Haskins threw a good ball that would have been catchable by Sims, or Pass Interference on the defender. The more I watch it, I don't see any way this isn't Wright interjecting himself in the play and ending up breaking up a clean pass from his own qb. Wright even draws the second safety into the play on the ball, if he had sat down or come back towards Haskins when his defender fell down, he would have been a great option, instead he literally closed off the throwing lane that Haskins was seeing.

1. Youre asking Haskins to throw across his body, late, to the middle of the field to hit Thomas.

2. JD was wide open but Im happy Haskins didnt take the underneath and looked to take a shot bc he had good pass pro and he had WRs running deep routes. We ALWAYS take the underneath. Our offense would be tailored to Ben Roethlisberger or Alex Smith. Just be decisive and accurate on passes 15 yards or less.

Here is that whole series playsheet. Haskins had made several throws and led a very good drive till that play. 44 yards through the air, and 4 + minutes
off the clock. Then our defense gave up a 97 yard drive, and the offense led an 11 play 46 yard drive in 1 1/2 minutes. We lost, it sucks, but our defense giving up a 97 yard drive is, to me, more unacceptable than the tipped INT from Haskins on that play.

Watching that GIF over again (I find it fascinating for some reason) things that stand out, are both Terry and McKissic are very well covered. Terry takes up two defenders, and McKissic actually takes up 3. One defender starts with McKissic, then drops off to cover Terry even though he is probably out of the play, and then both the FS #28 and MLB drop off their coverage to pick up McKissic on the crossing route. Also when Wagner, #54 falls and gets up he immediately heads to where I think Wright should have gone which is the wide open area around the 18 yard line.
Finally, I think the line did a decent job of protection, and I loved that Moses' guy ended up on his back.

I'd critique the WR's for starters. Sims works back to the QB but he's go t a man underneath him he can see (Wright), so he should have worked deeper into the corner of the EZ; gives Haskins an easy lob to the back pylon or OOB. Wright makes the right move outside, but he works deeper instead of coming back to eh QB diagonally. That would separate him and Sims, and increase the closing distance the S had to make up. But even so, DH should have thrown that ball low and outside so only Wright could get it. Whichever of the two he was aiming for, he's quite a bit off the mark.

He could have thrown to LT, but his eyes are in the right place, looking at the 2 targets he had in his direction of movement. Throwing to LT would be back across his body (QB's are told not to do that and Mahomes is a special case!). And if he's read that Wagner has gone over he could have been thinking he'll pop up and cover the inside, not break for the flat (because he's read DH's eyes).

My throw would be to Wright low and outside as his only cover is coming from the S chasing him. Sims is NOT the throw here as he's doubled up because of that S coming across. I think DH made a bad throw to Wright not an awful throw to Sims (that Wright tipped). If it was to Sims it was never going to reach him as Sims was working back and inside, not out. Wright did his job trying to catch it, this one is on DH for a correct but inaccurate throw.

If he was throwing to Cam Sims, I think that's a poor decision, he's covered tight. It was actually Wright that had the most room to make a catch and that throw did hit him on the hands...I'm actually seeing that play as a high, bad throw from Haskins intended for Wright.

Haskins doesn't deserve to be defended, he constantly makes inaccurate throws.

Yeah, a mobile accurate passer like Mahomes or Wilson nails that and it's 1st and goal. DH has now shown he can move but his accuracy is still a big issue. Beyond going back to school I don't see how he fixes that; he certainly won't get any more chances with WFT.

Really interesting reading you guys on this !

I agree the D was disappointing, and especially the Dline early in this game, and I thought Haskins had overall a surprisingly good game.

Still think the INTs were quite bad, and even with all that was said, let's not act like Sims catching that ball if not tipped is a sure thing. Tight coverage.
Situationally, 6 points game, 2 and 8, early in the game, I remember saying out loud "I'm ok with a FG, just no TO now is the key" when they got the first down 2 plays before that...

Cooley's breakdown of this first INT 40:20 on this link:

-Should've thrown in to McKissick
-Wright ran a bad route but then reacted well and was open
-Good decision to throw it to Wright, but terrible throw
-His mechanics on throws running to the right are always ugly

I, honestly, wasnt too thrilled with haskins last game. I noticed he was still throwing off his back foot constantly when he had space to set. its like rg3's happy foot issue. just something built into him that may not be able to be coached out. I think the numbers were better, and it looked better...but i still saw the same things that he has shown before. he just ended up on the right side of it this time. But it seems like the sort of odds of flipping a coin.

His mechanics are not pretty for sure. But overall accuracy was still way better IMO.

I agree. You can’t come out and play like trash the first half as well as throw 2 absolutely terrible ints.

Did we really see any growth? Not here, seemed like the same guy

I agree on the 2 INTs being really bad. But watching the All 22 he was way better than I felt watching live.

Just listen to Cooley's breakdown of his game. (From 31:00)

I wouldn't be surprised if it looks better in that regard. I just remember saying to my brother while watching "wow...flushed out on the run, and he's still throwing off his back foot and not planting."
Almost like he's trying to emulate a madden game, or looking for the hilight reel play.
He may have looked more accurate, but I'm still concerned that it's too fine of a line between looking more accurate and throwing 4 picks while missing receivers all game.
