Well you see, my little vacantbrained knobtwiddler, there are things called "matchups" in real life NFL football. Now I know that, in Madden, height and vertical differentials mean next to nothing, but they are very real measures in the very real world. I know it's hard to grasp that real football exists outside of your pretend-time tacklefootball video playbox, so why don't you leave the analyzing and discussion of real person football to real people?
Like I said before, the pass to Greg Little wasn't necessarily a bad pass. It was intended to be high. On plays like that you are almost always looking to "throw the ball out of the endzone". This isn't a 60 yard floater that he's trying to drop into the hands of a flanker sprinting out a 9 route. If that were the case then yes, you'd want to land the ball in the endzone. But this is a 25 yard strike against 7 men in coverage.
Weeden had trips left with Gordon out wide, Norwood in tight, and Little in the middle. Gordon and Little were lined up off the line, making it easier to beat the press. I can't really tell from the angle I have but it looks like Webb is locked in on man coverage with Little, with everyone else playing prevent. It's a cover two shell, with Reed and Pollard taking the back of the endzone and Webb manned up against their primary read.
The only place for Weeden to throw it is high. Webb is listed at 5'10 with a 36 1/2 inch vertical leap and Reed at 5'11 with a 32 1/2 vertical. Little is listed at 6'3 with a 40 1/2 inch vertical leap. Little's peak is at 114 inches whereas Webbs is at 106. That's why the pass is intended to be high.
Unfortunately, Weeden's jersey gets yanked, pulling his back shoulder down and raising his front shoulder. This changes the trajectory of the pass. It's also worthy to notice that Weeden had the same thing happen on an intentional grounding earlier in the game, and he may have put some extra into his pass because of that past experience.
Either way, you're an idiot.
Hahahahahahahahaha. That, people, is what you call a motherfucking headshot. It was Tim Couch Pulls Out, from the Grassy Knoll, and another trolling douche bag disappears in a pink mist. Facts and statistics trumps idiotic troll nonsense any day of the week.
