Quote:You don't need to know the play call to know that Blake locked into one receiver and that the receiver did a bad job selling the route.

Come on, don't be disingenuous. It was a totally terribly executed play, you don't have to be an nfl qb or coach to see that...

Quote:Man you are defensive. As I said, why does it matter that I don't know the play call? The defense does not know it either. That is why they are called a defense, their job is to anticipate, react, and defend against whatever the offense might do. It doesn't matter what the play is. We all see the personnel on the field, the alignments, who is filling what gaps etc etc. If you pay enough attention, you can predict tendencies of the offense. You can anticipate what the play might be. This is why the defense studies film. So again, you keep asking me if I knew the play. I say it doesn't matter what the [BAD WORD REMOVED] play was. Bortles telegraphed everything he was going to do before the snap. He made it easy for the defender to squat on the route and get the easy pick-6. I'm more curious why Bortles was so upset, he even bothered mentioning the fans. He clearly is insecure and made that known right after he threw the pick and hung his head down in shame.

Now correct me if I am wrong, but didn't this controversy start in the first place by Bortles asserting fans who question the play calling made by coaches and executed by players are ill equipped to do so intelligently?


If so, isn't it safe to assume the coaches and players know the playbook? Didn't you just admit you don't know the playbook?


If so, how can you assert the play called wasn't the best possible play when you don't know what alternative there was to be used in that situation?


What am I missing here? Help me understand.
