My favorite teams
Both WRs in the middle of the field with one crossing underneath means it's a slow developing route with the throw to go where the safety doesn't but they expected the safety to have bit in which he didn't. Neither guy gets enough separation as the the safety has split the difference and can get to the crossing player while the over coverage though once past the safety the bomb is the throw since it's become a one on one. Glennon's balls move up into his abdomen here. Check his head position. He actually never looked at the TE early and is focusing downfield the whole time. This causes him to require too much time to find Miller and to never move the safety. Crossing route looks a little too deep to me. This is designed for the bomb and it was actually worth throwing once the WR past the safety.
This would be a great play with a look or pump fake to the TE early to freeze the safety and then safety him and throw but I suspect the play was designed to bring the safet up in play action so that wouldn't be designed in because the deep throw could have been there very early. GB wasn't fooled but Glennon had enough protection and enough of a look to throw deep anyway. He could not step up but had plenty of room to step into a throw but was still holding the ball a second after it should have been gone. The decision making here is awful. The original play took a long time to become viable but it did and could have been thrown when he ditched it. Once he was the safety position, there was enough reason to go underneath without regret but staying with it was OK. You just have to fucking throw the ball.
A good QB turns off the play fake, sees the safety, peaks at the rush, finds the TE, glances at the deep routes and fires to somebody. He commits downfield early, waits for one guy to pull the safety from the other and once it happens, eats the ball. His deep ball is way underrated but the guy can't read well enough to throw it.
He hit several guys deep with the Bucs, he just plays so damn scared and NEVER commits to the open guy until about the 3rd quarter when he's settled in and gained some undeserved confidence. It's like he doesn't know how to be "the guy", only a relief pitcher... I saw him rifle in maybe 2-3 balls last night where i was like "wow, where's that been", then he overthrows Bellamy by 10' for an INT.
