Didn't really watch the whole thing just wanted to get his thoughts on the first interception and third interceptions.
I went over it on Sy's game review thread, but I hate the route combination with the splits we ran. You are asking your QB to make an unnecessarily hard throw for what doesn't seem like a whole lot to gain. Maybe they think with the reduced split Tate can beat the FS and score? I don't know it still leaves me scratching my head. The timing on the route needs to be absolutely perfect with a perfect throw. If he puts the ball on the money there it gets deflected up by the underneath linebacker.
Also it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that BB was going to show man play zone and vice versa. How about some motion to help out your rookie QB. You can see him get kind of hesitant on the third pick, but hopefully with experience he overthrows it out of bounds instead of underthrowing it into coverage.

Not necessarily. The other defender is too close inside, Tate should have a step. I know slants are typically thrown out of the break, but it isn't a rule.
That one honestly didn't bother me at all because that is just a rookie mistake plain and simple. Unless your Jameis Winston than that is a year 5 mistake. Guys are bigger and faster in the NFL and from what we seen from DJ he likes to hold onto the ball as long as possible, but with experience that will be an easy throw away.

Held it too long hoping someone breaks free. I’d rather see him take off when it ain’t happening.

I hope you are right Zeke. I’d still rather see him take off rather than throw it away.
You can treat a slant as a drag or crossing route. Running those types of routes against man with obstacles in the way can be very effective. My point was that perhaps Ellison's job is to not only be a safe throw if he's open, but also an obstacle for routes going across the field. If the qb decides to throw out of the break, fine, if not let the receiver run off of Ellison, although the spacing of the break on the slant considering where Ellison sat down seemed off, perhaps Ellison wasn't in the correct area, or tate lined up too far inside, or a combo of both.
Its pretty clear rigid system weenie Shemur is completely incapable of adapting to situations. Seems like Betcher is improving?
