Tell me about it. If anything, Brock will learn to eat it a few more times, play a little less hero ball, throw a few less contested passes, not throw into jumping defenders, etc. The kid is smart. He learns by doing. And if anything, this could end up being a blessing in disguise. Find that balance. The check downs were there.
my one critique of brock, and this has been for awhile now, is making a bad play worse, but that's definitely correctable
Yup and he mentioned it after this game, and after the Jags game. Seems extremely coachable.
No doubt. He was throwing up contested passes all night. He probably could have had 3 more INT's too if we're being honest. That's a credit to a sticky defense, a receiving group not getting separation at the top of their routes and Brock forcing the action and being too risky. Sometimes you just gotta take the easy and safe underneath stuff until a defense is softened up.
Scheme wise, Kyle was getting his usual guys wide open in the MOF so we got some yardage for sure.
Brock will learn. I'm not worried at all about that.
Or we can run the ball with the best RB in the league to soften them up. Even if you take away that 39 yard run, CMC was still averaging 4.9 yards per carry. Coming out with a pass heavy game plan against the #1 pass defense when they are most vulnerable against the run and we have the best RB in the league is just pure arrogance.
Especially when it proved to be working. This just 'felt like a game plan trying to highlight his QB vs. the RB which was working. Pete Carroll would be proud.
