Dan Orlovsky was on ESPN 1000 and he was saying that the deep shots to Gabriel were awesome, but the best throws Mitch made were his throws to Allen Robinson.
-On the TD throw, he has a zone defense with a box setting up around Robinson on the goal line, which you can do in the redzone because the safeties do not have to get deep. That throw needs to be out before Robinson settles down and with 0 hesitation as the box collapses in around Robinson. Trubisky knows he is throwing it pre snap as he recognizes zone and he sticks it in with 0 hesitation.
-On the 22 yard back shoulder on the sideline the CB drops and a flat defender comes underneath the route and Orlovsky said most NFL QBs won't even throw the route because technically it is covered with Robinson running a fly route into the CB at the goal line. He said what made it so impressive was that Mitch reads the coverage and goes back shoulder leading Robinson away from the over top defender, but what he said was the most encouraging thing was that Robinson saw the same thing and immediately adjusted in the exact same way.
It really appears that Robinson and Mitch are getting into a groove as the TB TD, Mia TD, and Mia back shoulder were all really nice reads, throws, routes and adjustments by both of them.
I'm glad you posted this ... when I 1st saw that play, I was like what, that was fortunate. But yes, when you watch film on it, it was way back shoulder, and it was a laser. ARob was right on it tho, and if that's a sample of them getting synced, then watch out, imo. Throw in TGab's 4.2 on the other side and ... :beerbang:
Oh, and shout out to you liking the Albert Wilson FA signing for the Bears. He looked pretty good on Sunday, didn't he.
