This is what pressure on the pocket will do.

A missed opportunity in the 2nd quarter
The #Giants had success against AZ with 12 personal dbl-Y speed stack motion for Slayton...49ers both bite on the inside route, leaving Hyatt alone
Unfortunately, the throw wasn't made as Javon Kinlaw bullied his way into the pocket
(See video Hyatt wide open)

There is plenty of room.
That's not on the QB. That's on the OL.

no no no, that didn’t happen, I heard Lemieux sucks and he stinks…put someone else at LG next game so JMS doesn’t develop chemistry with anyone.
But I think the bigger issue is when Jones scrambles right, Hyatt doesn't come back to the ball. He keeps running deep. If he stops and works his way back to the ball, Jones has a good chance to get the ball out there...

That's a good point. I'm not sure it's completely on arm talent tho, jones is shell shocked with turnover issues and sometimes seems gunshy to make shots like that. I believe he could make the throw, but needs the confidence and fearlessness to grow for it.
Really, we're going to have argument over semantics?
If the OL blocks the play, it's a touchdown.

It’s not semantics. It’s a failed play. Lots of plays would have been successful if the OL blocked better. It’s not the only one.

I meant to say when Jones scrambles left. But I wasn't trying to diminish Jones for not trying to make that throw when Hyatt popped open. That's just a throw that very few can/could make with a high chance of success. Those throws are reserved for aliens like Elway, Allen, Rodgers, etc.
Again, once Jones does start to escape to the left, however, he could very likely stick it out there if Hyatt comes back to the ball. I see that as a rookie mistake.

No it's not the only one Bill. But it's the one that has an obvious root cause, likely took away a TD and a huge momentum swing, and would have stretched the D for later dividends.
Agreed.

Well Neal looks like he's improving, hopefully his ankle is ok cuz he has the rest of this season to prove he can grow into a serviceable NFL OT

What is distressing on this play is the total whiff by Ezedu. If he makes that block there, which should be easy, there is a big hole.

Most important play of the game, I think, was the Bosa sack/tackle of DJ at the 2 yard line. Not sure if this is player error or scheme error. If that is Bellinger's block and he is in the right spot (i.e. split out 2 yards) it is coaching error - bad scheme or bad call. It is possible that Neal is suppose to check or chip before crashing down in which case his mistake. It is also possible Bellinger is supposed to be lined up close to Neal (still a really hard block) in which case it is his fault. My guess is bad scheme or call but who knows.
Neal was getting a lot of help during the game. More than our guard playing left tackle. I thought he was better, but it just might be the help.

More breaking news:
- great defenses challenge even the best offensive lines
- to become NFL players, young prospects need to play and will make more mistakes and get beaten more than vets when they do
That’s the kind of weird stuff the Giants OL has been doing for a decade that makes no sense. He’s got the inside, he’s right fucking there, and he doesnt even lay a glove on the guy.
This is why good defenses just lick their chops facing the Giants. The “get right” game. We’ve made a lot of DL a lot of $$$.
A game against the Giants OL. That’s why they looked good in practice.

Thibs often takes a circuitous route to the QB, arcing out to presumably contain a rollout or stutter stepping before committing to the rush. No idea if he's doing his job as asked or -- if not -- why.

That's a losing proposition for me either way.
*If he's not being coached to do that, he's just a horrific pass rusher.
*If he IS being coached to do that, we didn't need to draft a guy #5 overall to be a setup man. A random X in the X's and O's. Wink schemes his pass rush. He asks much more of his DBs, and where he needs the talent.
From my sofa, the 2nd bullet point rings more true. This is why Wink wanted the CB over the pass rusher, which he openly admitted before the draft. This why Judon and Z'Darius Smith's sack numbers jumped after BAL. It's looking more and more like there wasn't much logic picking Thibs at 5.
People following narratives.
When DJ’s back foot hits that 15 yd line, both db’s have their backs to the sideline, moving towards the hashes. Hyatt is in the middle of his double move and has already completely turned his man, as well as the guy covering Slayton. He may not look open, but he beat those 2 DBs and the ball needs to come out. The play did exactly what it was designed to do, DJ has to learn to throw before he SEES a man open. I’ve grown to really appreciate Jones, but he has had, and continues to have, issues with anticipation.
Now, if you want to make the case that he’s been throwing to SoundCloud rappers with landscapers blocking him his whole career, and has had one year where he’s been coached by a sane adult, and that’s deterred him from being able to trust whats happening, that is 100% valid - which is why I say “I get it.” But this play busts because the QB doesn’t plant and throw on the 3rd step on a 3 step drop because he hasn’t seen his man running free.
And before anyone says, “Well the pocket collapsed,” you’re correct. He probably would have taken a hit, but when he plants on the 15, every hat has a hat on it. If he has time to take a bounce step, turn, and scramble, he has time to get the ball out. He just doesn’t trust his OL, WR, or play mechanics. I hope that’s something he can shake, ‘cause they really have “done everything possible to screw this kid up since he's been here.”

Show me another play in this game that this happened? Last week he threw Hyatt open, albeit a bit underthrown, but did he not? This is one play out of an entire game...now if he is missing these consistently in games, then lets see it. The coaching staff would obviously be trying to fix this in the film room.

I wasn’t aware a blind siding a LB is impressive. The dude sucked all night.

That’s weirdly abrasive. I’m not making an outlandish statement here, indecision, anticipation issues, and unwillingness to take risks have been in DJ’s profile for a long time now. It used to be more evident in that double clutch move and staring down his first option, he was able to work that out of his game.
But from this game? I can’t. But there’s an excellent thread breaking it down that was linked right on this site from the Cards game…
