    That Haden was step-for-step with him on that deep ball says not so speedy to me.

    Also doesn't help that Gordon's route combinations to setup the vertical were non-existent.   Couple that with Haden bailing pre-snap...

    Knowing Gordon's history, there's a chance he didn't know the routes. Wouldn't be the first time he's come back to the Browns and run routes that didn't exist in the playbook as the plays were drawn up. 

  • If Tyrod wouldn’t have underthrown Gordon he’d have had 2TD’s on 4 targets.

    i dont necessarily disagree, cause tyrod missed all over the field including some gimme 5 to 10 yarders.....but those targets came late in the game, which had me puzzled. I initially figured this was haley seeing if josh would run out his routes even if the play wasnt coming to him

    ok so u know alot about this side of the ball, whats terribly complex about a deep sideline route? josh doesnt really need to know every new play in the offense to run some sime deep routes meant to just stretch the secobdary as a decoy, does he? did they just mot trust tierod to throw it overvthe top enough to where only josh had a chance at it? it just seems like if he is that clueless why even have him out there......theres something we should have been able to throw to.him to put a seed in the secondaries minds. Tyrod seems to be the variable on this one. If he wasnt getting open than get him out and put some of the guys in that showed promise in preseason. To have ur supposed stud #1 in single man bump and run all game means the steelers had no respect.

    Wanted to let you know I'm not ignoring the question, just busy AF.

    Boils down to Gordons intended use and where the coaching staff wanted Tyrod to go with the ball vs where he is capable and comfortable putting it and what the defense dictates.   As you can tell, the 50/50 shots downfield aren't his usual game unless it's his primary.   More on my thoughts later, prepping for a wedding.

    Ha! Nearly went down that road once before bubs.  In no hurry to revisit it.   This is for a good friend of mine.  Lending a helping hand while I still have one to give. 

    Edit: should preface my comment by saying that the Maid of Honor and myself already fight like a married couple - that's as close as I want to be spoken for at the moment.

  • JG was out of game shape and running in some rain and Tyrod never got settled in, so it looked like he wasn’t reading the defense very well. Njoku’s sideline drop after a drop did not help out either. I have a feeling flash will look like vintage flash in the New Orleans

    Tyrod has to be better but the whole offensive unit does as well. Defense can tighten up too.

    Sounds like a friend with "make-up sex" benefits.
