So regarding the missed opportunity to throw deep to Aiyuk, after hearing the explanation of a blown coverage and Aiyuk changing his route, being the 2nd read on the play, and Brock not knowing exactly where the safety is, I get why that's a tough decision.
Can't Aiyuk help him out a bit by once he's going deep and see it's open to raise his arm? Or is that too hard for Aiyuk to tell where the safety is? I feel like the QBs and WRs that have good chemistry you see that fairly often.
Kyle said BA did the right thing by going to the hole where the broken coverage was. Plays like this are hit all the time.
also I don't see how Brock didn't see this….
he was literally staring at him and had plenty of space to step up and air that hoe out.
missed opportunity for sure. Brock was far from the reason they lost.
I can see it plainly, by the time BA was open Brock had moved on to the next read.
I guess when you skip the off-season trust and chemistry erodes.
Dude come on. Look at that 6-7 secs in. He's staring right at him.
at the 5 sec mark you see that there is no CB trailing with him. Busted coverage, you don't really throw to guys once they're open in the NFL (even though he was wide open when he was looking at him). You have to throw to a spot and let him go get it, especially a deep ball.
Brock has been throwing to BA since he got into the league. Acting like he doesn't trust him because of missing a couple months of camp is fake news. You don't lose chemistry because of missed time in camp (lamb/Chase look just fine)….Especially on a play like that when he's screaming downfield and no one is remotely close to him.
it's a missed play, plain and simple. We don't have to make excuses for it. Brock was damn near perfect outside of that one play.
Kyle explained it pretty plainly. The Rams busted their coverage so badly that it completely threw Purdy off. In that moment he was trying to track where the Safety was, and since he had absolutely no idea where the guy was he didn't want to chuck it right into his hands for an INT.
In other words, the coverage was so bad it was Flores level brilliant because Brock thought it was something clever he'd never seen on film before.
Hopefully he throws it up next time he sees something similar, but if he does and it's a pick 6 because he chucked it when he had no idea where the Safety was I'm gonna point right at some people in this thread.
I feel like the complaint over this play would mean more to me if we had never seen Purdy chuck it deep before. He did so in the NFC CG and got a fortunate bounce and we benefitted. He did so against Jacksonville last year. And Tampa. And Arizona. All successful plays. So when it makes sense to him he pulls the trigger. He just didn't see it for what it was this time. If only he *hadn't* seen Bell deep a little later.
