Charting Quinn against the Vikings
-
LOL ... I only opened this thread because I thought the title read, "Charlie Quinn against the Vikings"
My bad ... cute charts though, he's getting better as the week progresses, just like Couch use to.
-
Pretty much looked like a guy with 3 career starts. I'm not sure what everyone is getting so excited about. They played a defense that is pretty good. And they struggled to convert 3rd downs.
If you look a the chart (I don't pay much attention to the last bit, because it's not as if the Vikings were putting up much resistance.), you've got a couple of miscues, couple of slow reads, couple of protection breakdowns, and some short completions.
I'm no expert here, but the problem may have been that Quinn attempted only 3 passes in the 3rd quarter.
The defense just couldn't get themselves off the field in the 3rd. And by the time Peterson broke the 80 yard run in the 4th, the defense was gassed. Or, at least I hope they were. If they weren't, I can't explain how a 11 professional football players can have a running back run 25 yards, stop, turn around, stiff-arm a guy to the ground, then turn back upfield, and only have 2 guys in the frame with him. David Bowens flat out quit on that one. He needs to realize that Alex Hall would've chased Peterson to the parking lot if he had to. D'Qwell Jackson got pancaked at the line. How the hell do you get pancaked as a linebacker by the guard that's right in front of you???? That is piss-poor execution. Pool looked like he didn't want any part of him. Coleman, Williams and Rogers got manhandled - single man manhandled. Rogers was flopping like he was trying to draw a charging foul. It was pathetic. That was a Pop Warner run. You don't make those runs in the pros. Hell, you don't make those runs in High School.
Of course this may also speak to the Browns lacking some depth. Who knows? But I'm not going to hang this one on Quinn. He was a little skittish and erratic. But, that's to be expected. He'll cool down.

Three drops, three other passes that could've been caught, two passes wiped out by penalty, and a pick on a bad route by Edwards. He had three good downfield throws -- a TD, a drop, and a penalty.
I'd give it a C-, myself.
Shep I am with you (and Mangini) on this. I saw good and bad from Quinn on the game. I also so some questionable play calling in the game. I would give Quinn a C for the game.
You'll also note the number of times the chart shows Quinn was pressured. There were far to many in that column.

Always good to see your voice of reason Jason.

Thanks Jason!What's your take on the interception?
Misread by Quinn at the line. He saw Man up w/ a single high safety. In actuality it was cover 3 rolling to Edwards. Griffin took a hard outside position pre-snap - which should've tipped the coverage. He has to have help underneath - in this case the Free Safety presses the slant. Edwards read it right. He called off the fade route and hit the seam full speed. That's a sight adjustment. Quinn needs to read the outside position, pick up the free safety and throw that ball on a line as soon as Edwards clears.
Instead, he started with his 1 read short right, saw the underneath coverage rolling that way, and came back to the backside fade. Unfortunately, he was still thinking he had man coverage on the back - he still thought he had a fade route running. He didn't. His first look held the Strong Safety on the midline and actully drew him to his (the SS's) left, creating a nice seam. But it reinforced the man look. I'm sure he thought, "There's my single high safety in the middle of the field, I've got my best guy man for man with no help." So he laid the ball up away from the safety. Good thought, but wrong.
He needed to pick up the read at the line. When he saw Griffin anchoring outside, he has to read zone. If he comes off of his first look thinking zone, he comes across the field and picks up the single high saftey dead-center of the field fading right and reads Cover 3. Now he knows he can zip the ball in there because there's no one under Edwards that far down the field, and the corner's going to be playing outside-in.
A good read and a ball thrown on a line and Edwards scores without breaking stride. It was a bad read pure and simple... or at least kinda simple.

Yeah, there was a lot of talk about the defense being gassed and blaming it on the offense... but didn't the Vikings score on their first drive out of the half? That's where the wheels came off. Then the Browns had two nice runs and the interception on a bad route by Braylon. Two possessions and the game turned, right there.Like you said, JJ, Quinn didn't start throwing again until it was too late... and he seemed to be better once he was allowed to get in a groove. I sincerely think he was never settled until the last three possessions.
I think the wheels came off when Quinn threw the pick and we didn't answer that first drive...didn't help that we let harvin return it to the 45 then gave up 25 yards on the next three runs.

Question (insert Bevis voice if you like), why after the game and yesterday were Quinn, Edwards, and Reggie Rucker (on Reghi) saying the misread was on Edwards, in that he changed off the initial sight adjustment of man at the line - Ruckers take (hense BE ending up not where Quinn was expecting him to be)?
I get that the sight adjustment should have been the cover 3, but if Quinn thinks it's man and makes that sight adjustment, shouldn't BE know what Quinn read (some sort of signal to BE) and continue on that expect route? Is this one of those cases where 2 wrongs made 1 really big wrong?
-
Exactly my thoughts on the play.
I remember thinking when Quinn turned to his left that Edwards was going to be wide open. Then I saw him uncork that rainbow and thought... Ohhh Noooo... 'cause there was no way Edwards was getting to the edge. I even said as much in my living room... When I saw Griffin set up, all I could think was, "just hold the Strong Safety for a beat..." And he did. Then he completely tanked the throw.
It was like watching your kid put a perfect swing on the ball, you jump up yelling... and he takes off toward third base. Wait!!! Nooooo!!!

Does that come with chemistry, or more film time? Because whether Quinn was wrong or BE was wrong, they both weren't on the same page. If they both make the "wrong" read, it's a TD. Or at least not a pick.

I wouldn't necessarily expect them to communicate like that. Edwards is pretty protective of his QB's and is pretty quick to take the blame for things. But I think he saw the free release inside. That's got to tip zone coverage. Or at least an over/under double team.
It'd be more likely that the two (Quinn and Edwards) made eye contact acknowledging a sight adjustment and Edwards knows Griffin is staking the outside zone and Quinn reads it as press man coverage. So in Quinn's head, he thinks he's adjusted to the fade and Edwards is adjusting to the seam route.
I just think Quinn misread it. But, you'd never get Edwards to say that.

Ha! I thought about that also. Total lack of heart on that play. And a couple of the fellas' twitter posts that night confirmed it.
I still haven't decided which was more disheartening for me as a fan.

Your quarterback just made his 4th career start. It just takes some time. There are no easy answers. They're not going to develop telepathy, but Quinn and Edwards will be fine. It's just a misread. It happens all the time. That's why defensive coordinators get the big bucks. They can disguise coverages. Admittedly, that one was pretty obvious, but still.
And please don't go to the "preseason snaps" card... Anybody can read coverages in the preseason. It's usually base coverages, and most of the parts are stationary. The guy just needs some games under his belt.

Wow....you guys are generous...that was a F guys.
That attempted pass where he pretty much whiffed and threw the ball backwards is enough by itself to warrant a F.
I see that on cold, wet days...not sunny 75 degree days.
Has the guy had a rap of having small hands??

Do you give Cutler an F for his game last against SD where he did the same thing?
It's one bad play (ok really bad). But Quinn isn't the first NFL QB I have seen do that, nor will he be the last. That stuff just happens when a QB starts on the run and then tries to pull back up to pass.
I am not going to grade a guys whole day on one play. If I did that, pretty much half the players in the league would get an F every other Sunday.
Though after Jason's explaination of the INT, I am going to lower the grade to a D
-

Sure...why not.
Thing is I don't care what Cutler or any other QB for that matter does.
We aren't comparing Quinn to anybody else. At least I am not.
It is all about him.
That can't be hard to understand. All that matters is how our team and our players play. How they play compared to other players isn't germane.

We are talking about grading a players performance for a game. Maybe you choose to grade Browns players on a different scale than other players. I don't. That was the point of bringing up Cutler. I am not going to pretend that play on Sunday was some monumental catastrophy that you never see from a legit NFL QB.

Jason,
Are you sure that was Cover 3 on that play? I am watching the reply of the play( http://www.nfl.com/videos/cleveland-browns...-vs-Browns-2009 ) and I am missing the cover 3 on this. I see the saftey on BE's side creaping up to the line and taking away a quick slant, 2 LBs following the both TE's release on the right side (MLB and OLB) and the other LB come up across the LOS. Doesn't seem like much of a cover 3 to me (maybe one of those variations on it?).
But I do see the window for a rope pass to BE on the inside. Of course I also see BE getting the CB to bite on the inside, and BE flashing like he is going outside but stays on his inside path.
