There was another big play I think a 4th down conversion where he got into I can't decide mode. He was trying to cut in front to break it up and then at the last minute decided he was going to just hit the Wr instead. So he didn't touch the pass and the hit on the WR was nothing and the guy caught the ball and held on easily.

He just doesn't have the ball hawking instincts you need. He correctly figured out where Jones was throwing the ball and had a good break on it, just didn't close fast enough or decisively enough to actually break it up.
To be fair, he did have a key breakup right before the Peterson forced fumble.

Budda was rightfully called out in that video for not making a play on the Ellison TD. He seemed gun shy to me.

He had no chance on the ball. If he blows up the TE, he gets a unnecessary roughness penalty. He was in no man's land there.

So blow him up, break up the touchdown and make em score from wherever the penalty would’ve put it.

Do NOT: just let him catch it and truck you for a touchdown.

I know it's not often called towards a defender's favor but he has a right to the ball too and should have moved aggressively forward instead of sitting back. One cannot hope for a overthrow when that is not the QB's intent... I agree, even a PI is a better outcome than a score :raccoon:

disagree he was just in no mans land because he chose to be. he didn't know whether to make a play on the ball or hit the guy, so he did neither.

Also agree with Ouchie if you can't get there, drill the guy(not at the head) and break the play up. If they call a penalty so be it, first and goal from the 3 is better than a TD.

Can't say that I came away overly impressed with Danny Dimes. The INT by hicks was a pretty bad throw (IMO), and when we started hitting him, that was pretty much it. He was done.

I guess if I had to wager who had a better chance of being a league MVP, my money would be on Kyler.

I don't disagree with you. a 15 yard penalty beats giving up a TD. They mentioned in the video that he should have gone for the ball. He wasn't in a position to go for the ball. Only the man.

To continue my thoughts, I’m ok with them saying who would you take when starting a team. Sure Daniel Jones looks the part, but even Spears admitted it’s not about how they’re playing right now. So the whole debate is really useless.

I have not seen Daniel Jones play so there really is no reason for me to bash him, but again their arguments are what gets me. Max clearly admitted his bias and Spears obviously doesn’t watch Cardinals games or Oklahoma games for that matter. He kept saying that Murray is so system specific. Do we really know that? Of course he is running what he ran in college, but is that all he can run?

I will be honest and admit that Murray is not my preferred QB, but it’s hard to ignore what he has been able to do.
Still applies. KM was not my preferred choice but he has had a better career than DJ. Wish this would have played out yesterday.
