Speaking of Marcus, I was bummed at the juke that Young put on him late in the game to get about 15 extra yards on his scramble. Terrible play on his part that lead up to their only TD.

Wasn't it S Marcus Maye that whiffed on it? :confused:

Re: Your Breakout Player For 2023
 

Yes it was. Still a Marcus.

Re: Your Breakout Player For 2023
 

I sure hope he was scolded on that play ... He was practically a spectator rather than a participant.

Re: Your Breakout Player For 2023
 

I believe it was Kirk Morrison, while talking about missed tackles, sometime last week said that sometimes the defender takes a bad angle or gets his feet out of position and truly misses the tackle. Then he said that there are simply times that the offensive player makes a move that will make the best of players miss. He said that you just need to give the offensive player credit. Morrison was one of the best tacklers in the game so he knows his stuff.

Here's the play. I'll give Young the credit on that one. I'd say the defender gets beat on that type of play a high percentage of the time.

Re: Your Breakout Player For 2023
 

Respectfully disagree ... the video clearly shows it was Maye. He could've and should've stuck Young on a righteous tackle.

Re: Your Breakout Player For 2023
 

Oh, yes, it was definitely Maye. You put any defender out there in exactly the same position in the open field with Young at full speed and the defender will miss the majority of the time. If the ball carrier was Kamara they'd lose every time. That has to be the most difficult tackle to make in the game.

I'd like rezburna's input on that one. I'm sure he's been in that position more than once in his career.

If he had made the tackle it would have been a great one.

Re: Your Breakout Player For 2023
 

I think he was expecting a QB slide.

Re: Your Breakout Player For 2023
 

Good point. Very possible. Being a QB you would absolutely have to factor that into how you approach a hit. That's not a concern with other positions running the ball.

Shouldn't they expect the unexpected as professionals? Would TJ Watt or Nick Bosa be so timid in a similar situation?

Re: Your Breakout Player For 2023
 

Kinda what I was thinking too.

In today's game, DBs get flagged for staring at QBs too long :rolleyes:.

Re: Your Breakout Player For 2023
 

They should be ready for it. Let’s hope Maye learns from this mistake

Re: Your Breakout Player For 2023
 

Agreed

Re: Your Breakout Player For 2023
 

Thought I'd bump this one ...

Juwan has been next to non existent this season. Really believed he would have a monster year with DCarr. Apparently our substitute teacher has no plans to utilize JJ or any TE for that matter.

IMO we have talented guys (JJ, Moreau) underutilized in 2023.

And so much for the 6'7" red zone "night mare" JG. He's been a healthy scratch for weeks :rolleyes:.

Starts at the top though :bng:.

Re: Your Breakout Player For 2023
 

Man, what in the hell were you smoking :rolleyes: :confused: ?

These guys fell off a cliff in 2023.

Re: Your Breakout Player For 2023
 

You might have an even longer thread if it was titled break down player of the year. You've got plenty of choices there to choose from.
