Quote:You're giving Henne way too much credit saying it was a timing route. It was a set play, but to call it a timing route is wrong.

 

Timing route means both the WR and the QB are just going on a rhythm inside of their own head. QB takes the snap, starts his drop, throws the pass immediately following his third step to a spot on the field where the WR is supposed to be going.

 

The first long TD pass would have been something more like a timing route if it had been the simple out play instead of the double move.

 

Of course it's really pretty pointless to argue anyway, the pass was very poorly thrown and if there had been a good CB covering Hurns on the play it probably would have gone for an INT.

 

Yes, that's the timing route I am talking about. The QB throws it to a spot before the receiver is even there yet, and the receiver runs to the spot and catches the ball.

 

When done correctly, it's indefensible.

 

I know they won't work all the time and the timing will be off sometimes, but I just can't recall Henne completing a timing patten.

 

I've seen him throw them before, but they just aren't completed passes.

 

Either Henne is off on the pass or the receiver is off on the route, it's one of the 2.

 

I see other teams complete them all the time, esp on 2nd or 3rd and 5 or 6 yds or so.

 

Unfortunately, the Jags just can't complete them, for some reason.
