     Reminds me of an exchange I had with a PFF Data Scientist on twitter. 

     This first post was said DS saying that the Miami offense play design, on that last throw by Beck (which ended in an INT) was bad.  The conclusion to his comment was that there is no flat threat to keep the corner from climbing and helping the safety squeeze the throw.

    He wouldn't be correct *IF* this wasn't quads to the boundary and the X solo is an alert on the go/comeback.  You base this alert and whether you make the throw, off the field side safety pre & post snap.   I responded kindly...

    I explained how this alert and safety hold works here. Using an example from a Buckeye game I remembered with Troy Smith throwing a dime off a similar design.

     To critique coaches is standard for most fans.  But when you're a professional, aspiring to give the best and most accurate possible content and analysis to fans, you damn well better not miss THAT bad. 

     There in lies my issue, my problem, with the limited exchanges I've had with PFF D.S.'s - context.  In everything from how target volume is obtained (Corey Coleman) to pass blocking assignment vs defensive alignment and greater weight towards more difficult assignment (Carter, IU)   If PFF believes this is a "coaching problem" first and foremost, then I would be curious as to how that may effect a grading process on that play.
