And the very next play after that.. a rare case of pressure clearly impacting his accuracy. This is a TD if he leads his WR, but he misses badly.

The very next play 🎯

Maybe it's time to retire the backwards sidearm no-look pass to nobody, Shedeur. (this was intentional grounding.. and lucky it wasn't worse).

Sanders' accuracy plays a huge rule in his WRs YAC production.
Here's an example. See how the ball leads his WR just a little, allowing him to get moving as he catches it. So many QBs are consistently off target on screens, and the WR has to catch it flat footed and then accelerate from a stop.

Really impressed by how often Sanders makes difficult throws on the move and still hits his WR perfectly in stride.

The cancelation comes during a severe flu season: 19,000 adult deaths, 86 pediatric deaths so far. Typically, the FDA’s advisory panel reviews global flu trends and updates the vaccine formula in time for fall production. Without this step, it’s unclear how flu shots for 2025 will be selected.

I find Ward's lack of attempts into tight coverage concerning, so it's worth pointing out when he does it. This is incomplete, but it's a good throw giving his WR a chance to make a play against good coverage.

Nice throw on the move, maintaining zip and accuracy.

probably. I still think that's the most likely outcome for him.

It’s also possible a Berry is just saying this bc he thinks that’s what Hunter wants to hear (more $$), knowing you can always let his performance early in his career dictate whether he’s a WR or CB long term.

to be fair, in the NFL it's a huge gain on a PI penalty far more often than it's picked off

Only a one-yard loss on this sack/fumble, so not a big deal. But another great example of Sanders' inability to just get rid of the damn ball. Why on earth are you taking this hit??

Underthrown pass misses out on an easy TD. Sanders does not have elite arm strength. It's probably not a fatal flaw, but he'll miss some of these opportunities because of it.

This is so much harder than Sanders makes it look. Rolling left, knowing you're about to take a hit and perfectly hitting a receiver in stride. His accuracy on the move is exceptional.

Incomplete, but love the touch on this pass to drop it into tight coverage where only his guy has a chance at it.

🎯Heck of a throw on the run. Horn was ruled out of bounds (I dunno about that), but its still a beautiful throw on the run while taking a hit.

Another tough throw delivered with near perfect accuracy. Accuracy on the move and off-platform is definitely a key trait to have in this era of football.

Tough throw rolling left and versus pressure. Should've been caught. Sanders typically maintains his accuracy off platform.

Really nice timing, accuracy and zip on this pass across the middle.
comment in response to

We know Sanders played behind a bad o-line, but a ton of sacks were still on him.
Here's a great example. There's just no excuse for this 5-yard loss. Probably should've been easy completion for a couple yards to the WR sitting on the 30, but at worst just throw it away.

And then there's the actual game-ending sack/fumble. Entirely on Ward. Trying to do too much.
comment in response to

Effectively a game-ending sack. Protection isn't good, but you've gotta find a way to get rid of the ball on the 4th down while trailing by two scores.

Tricky throw moving to his left and delivered with nice touch.
comment in response to
post
Incomplete, but a nice throw right on the money with good zip. Ward doesn't throw across the middle often, but this stands out as evidence he's capable of it.

The fact that it happened during the All-Star break makes me further think he knew exactly what he was doing. What better time to make NBA fans and writers actually notice and create some headlines around the league.

I understand. I think if people try it they will realize the follower number on the other site isn’t real. So many bots and dead accounts. I found with about 20% of my followers here I started game the same interaction.

Will Johnson is a popular mock draft selection for Jaguars.. I'm just not sure he's a top-five talent. Drafting purely for need is how bad teams stay bad, so I wouldn't force it.
But we'll be able to better guess their plan once a GM is finally in place.

yeah I could definitely see them fitting in with Detroit.
