Is anyone one the net tracking this from week to week?
lol don't let Tex see this, he claims all rookies struggle just as bad vs good defenses.
Name 2 QB's who as rookies posted less than 1 QBR in a game and are considered good or great quarterbacks.
The last rookie, from what I can tell, that posted this poor of a stat line and QBR as a rookie, also in his third game, was Ryan Leaf. Welcome to Houston Ryan Leaf 2.0
Mills has at least one more game before TT is eligible to return and then it's up to the team when he does.
In the rain with no run game.
Wow! Even Nate Peterman thinks that was a bad game.
I'm reviewing all the pass plays, not finished yet, but the first sack occurred at 11:35 of the 2nd Q. On that play, Mills was in a 3 step pocket with pressure on all sides, but did have a brief opportunity to throw. During this brief moment, there were 3 receivers downfield and all were tightly covered. However, the receiver in the middle of the field also had a brief moment when he had a 1 step advantage on the db. It would have taken a very quick release and a perfectly thrown ball, but this was Mills only opportunity. Under pressure he stepped back in the pocket and ended up sacked on the 3. Except for that one very brief moment, his 3 receivers were covered like a glove.
Brother why are you getting upset about us calling the rookie out. He looked terrible on yesterday. If he had a good to great game, most of us would’ve gave him his praises. But as of yesterday he looked like he wasn’t ready for that type of defense and the extra plays from the playbook.
OK, I've looked at all the pass plays. And I'm going to say it - Mills was not as bad as being accused. He wasn't really good, but he wasn't really bad. He played like a rookie.
Just 3 days ago they were gaga over Davis Mills. Now, he's trash.
Who is they?
No, it was not a rolling pocket. Everyone, except David Johnson, went left with Mills rolling to the right. Johnson went the opposite direction into the right flat and was open. There was never a pocket. #55 Jerry Hughs was not fooled by the misdirection and was unblocked. he just barely got an outstretched hand on the ball. It was not a bad pass on Mills part, just an unbelievable defensive effort by Hughs. It was a "great play" by Hughs more because he was not fooled and put himself in position for the play. On the replay you can see he really had his arm and hand outstretched. Don't know what else Mills could have done unless throw sidearm or an underhanded shovel pass.
At that point Mills did his best to try to throw it around him, but Hughes was too close and he was able to get a hand on it.
Presnap, #88, Akins, goes into motion toward the left. At the snap, #83, Auclair, and #74, Scharping, pull toward the left. Mills gets the snap and turns left. All of this motion is misdirection; but then Mills continues to rotate and rolls to the right. At the snap David Johnson goes straight to the right side flat. Should of, and did, work perfectly on the Texans part, except Hughes didn't bite.
You are correct in that #85, Brown, had turned so that he was facing the passer. Perhaps he was rotating to the outside. And on further review, the ball is off his inside shoulder. You would need an end zone view to see how far inside the pass was, but I thought it was close enough that Brown got both hands on the ball. Looking at it again, the ball could have been placed better and may have been at full arm extention. Not the easiest ball to catch.
