Quote:This is all accurate. The only rub is that many of Blake's turnovers are a ​direct result of his poor mechanics, and there were others that were something besides poor decision making.


Just breaking down a few games with multiple picks you get:

- Baltimore pick #1 - Inaccurate pass due to not stepping into throw. Released the ball with feet shoulder width apart. Came up short and didn't lead Robinson toward sideline enough. He had a defender preventing him from stepping into it at the last second as well. Decent example of better mechanics potentially being the answer here.


- Baltimore pick #2 - Tipped at line of scrimmage. LG was beaten badly and DT got his hands up.


- Baltimore pick #3 - Last minute desperation pass into coverage with :25 on the clock.



-------------------------------------------


Oakland pick #1 - Horrible decision by Bortles. Stares down Lee , under throws him and Amerson sees it coming.


Oakland pick #2 - 1:20 left on the clock and Bortles throws to Robinson on an in-route. He's pretty well covered (read: loafing when down on the scoreboard by multiple TDs) - so Blake throws it low where Allen can go down with the catch and it's away from defender somewhat.

The CB just gets a hand on Robinson's left forearm and Robinson tips the ball straight to the safety for a pick.


--------------------------------------------

Detroit pick #1 - Bortles throws too high for Lee and it's a tip-drill pick by an alert DB. Lee was prevented from intervening on the tip drill by a blatant face mask. Bad throw by Bortles - but largely due to poor footwork and a wonky wind-up on this one. This is one that an offseason tune-up may fix.


Detroit pick #2 - Bortles throws well behind a crossing Lee and it hits his foot and is tipped to the defender. Bad pass by Bortles - no excuses to be made on this one.


-------------------------------------------


Not apologizing for Bortles here - I'm one of his harshest critics - but there have been a number of factors contributing.


You can see that out of 7 randomly chosen INTs - he had a few that better mechanics could fix and a few that simply weren't his fault.

I'd post gifs but I've been warned they are against COC if not publicly available from the league.
