Sucks to be in position of questioning things like this, but I wouldn’t be shocked if tomorrow during film session Tua is having trouble with recall, which is what triggered concussion protocol after the Green Bay game in 2022. These were early 2nd quarter.

This should have been a touchdown. Does anyone in the class want to tell us why it wasn’t?

Listen to Tua at the end, “But you’re thinking of all that before it happens and then you’re like, ‘OK does the clock give me time to- ah shit, I can’t- Set Hut!’” This has been a problem for 3 years. Tua has been trying to tell us but he’s too nice to say it more sharply.

Watching Tua struggle last night neither surprised nor confused me. I’ve come to expect it. But THIS in the 4th quarter had me confused. THIS was a version of Tua I’ve not seen in a year. How much of his limitations are mental? Or imposed on him by the coaches, fearing injury?

Yes, this is a Malik Willis highlight reel. No, it doesn’t show the mistakes (which I’ve detailed in other posts - see timeline). My point is, the quality & quantity of these throws & scrambles are higher than you’ll find around the league, outside of the proven franchise QBs.

Understandably every year we’re looking for “the next Josh Allen”. But I think there were a really interesting set of good & bad marks that made Allen such a unique evaluation. This year the guy who reminds me of him is QB Chase Mason of SDSU. It’s a bit eerie, tbh. - Josh Allen was a small town boy (Firebaugh, CA) and Chase Mason is from Viborg, SD. - Josh Allen was a multi sport star at Firebaugh. Baseball guy with a 90+ mph fastball, switch hitter, ended up focusing on football. Chase Mason was a top 100 baseball recruit with a 90+ mph fastball and throws righty bats lefty, went to Nebraska for baseball, transferred to SDSU because he missed football. - Obviously there are some gross dimensional similarities. Josh Allen was 6047 & 237 lbs. Chase Mason is 6044 & 240 lbs. But even that aside, they’re built similarly. - Also hard to compare any QB to Josh Allen unless he has fantastic running/scrambling ability and can throw a ball thru half-inch plywood. According to Bruce Feldman, Chase Mason has a 40” vertical, has clocked 22.7 mph on Catapult systems, and can throw it 82 yards. - But we also have to remember the reason almost everyone hated Josh Allen as a prospect was because of his accuracy. Analytics-based evaluation was really starting to catch on and everyone came up with a new analytic to say the same thing, over and over, which is that Josh Allen had a tendency to drop that elbow, get lazy with his feet and follow-thru, and the ball would come out wrong and nowhere near where it should go. This was a consistency issue disguised as an accuracy issue. Funny thing is, I see similar in Chase Mason. Nearly identical college career adjusted accuracy percentages between Allen (67%) and Mason (68%). And the issues are so similar in terms of tendency to drop that elbow. - There are things from IQ, toughness, and comportment standpoints that made Josh Allen special, and these are things I can’t know about a Chase Mason. But, he picked football despite a promising baseball future (which was also true of Mahomes), and he patiently bided his time (even taking snaps as a ball carrier like Cole Payton did at NDSU) sitting the bench behind proven winner Mark Gronowski (now Miami Dolphin), picking loyalty over money instead of transferring, and he’s gone 10-2 since taking over the job once Gronowski transferred to Iowa. Last year he was 8-1 as a starter for the Jacks, who went 1-4 during the 5 games he missed to injury. This guy is 100% on NFL scouts radars after turning heads at SDSU’s pro day last year. Real dark horse for 2027 in a year where many who were expected to top that QB class have stumbled out of the gates a bit.

Thanks to Pat McAfee for the shout out! It concerns me that for years Tua has been (mildly) complaining that by the time he gets thru all the motions & choreography in this offense, he has no time left on the clock to make adjustments or changes at the line. 3YPC

(Jon-Eric Sullivan on The Joe Rose Show) “We were a big fan of Douglas. He’s unique in the sense he’s a 6’3”-and-change body type, long limbed. But he can drop his weight, he can get lateral, he can get in and out of cuts, he’s got really quick feet. We felt he has upside, he was not as good as he is going to be. Everybody’s approach to the draft is different, but if I can help it I like to take guys whose best ball is in front of them. He’s a great kid, he works… can line up outside, inside.” (h/t cynthia frelund on the rookie WR predictions)

Sometimes I like to look at a player’s “worst game of the year” to see how bad it was (or wasn’t). For WR Caleb Douglas (according to PFF) that was the Arizona State game where he matched up with Keith Abney (R5) all day. This was a good battle between Douglas and Abney. But considering it was supposed to be Douglas’s worst outing, it wasn’t all that bad. Texas Tech lost, despite coming back from a 12 point deficit in the final 6 or 7 minutes to take a 3 point lead, after a successful 2-point conversion made possible by Douglas drawing a hold in the end zone on the first 2-point attempt. Sam Leavitt and Jordyn Tyson worked their magic to go all the way down the field in the final minute and not just kick a tying FG, but actually score the go-ahead TD, leaving Texas Tech attempting a Hail Mary as the clock ran out. Things I noticed during the game: - The backup QB Will Hammond playing in place of Behren Morton had some issues with timing and ball placement. A couple of targets Douglas was open, Hammond missed him. Another one, instead of throwing the vertical Hammond patted the ball an extra beat and it threw off the timing. - I loved Caleb Douglas’s willingness to try and make a difference as a blocker. He got nasty with it. - Caleb had a bad drop. Abney got in there and contacted him and Douglas failed to put the ball away. But it’s interesting because Caleb also had one of the most impressive one-handed stabs you’ll see, on a play nobody noticed or cared about because it was a screen that didn’t break open. - On a lot of plays, if there wasn’t safety help, there was an egregious amount of cushion. This is something you see in a lot of Tech’s games. People had been trying, and frankly failing, to triangulate Douglas’s long speed, to where his 4.39 came as a surprise to some. And then when they’re wrong, the same tired excuse comes out, “He doesn’t play to his timed speed.” But the signs were always there. You had safeties stashed way out in the middle of nowhere to protect corners. You had corners giving 10-12 yards of cushion. - There was a lull where either the ball wasn’t coming Douglas’s way or it was inaccurate when it did, and it lasted nearly half the game. So I was looking for signs of Douglas checking out with his route running. That didn’t happen. He ran his routes hard the entire game. - Douglas dialed it up a notch during the comeback attempt at the end, particularly after the drop. He got wide open on a 3rd down vertical vs. physical coverage with no safety help over top (surviving an unflagged face mask in the process). Then he got open in the end zone twice, one of which forced a hold by Abney that did get flagged. I think the takeaway from me was, you’re playing against a good corner, you have a backup QB in, things don’t go well for you nor the offense for most of the game, but you stay locked in and make a difference at the end, mounting an unlikely comeback. I can see why Jon-Eric Sullivan would like his demeanor.

This particular Q&A with Grier was uncomfortable to watch. Weak, shaky. Not mentioning Tua among the leaders at all, struggling to think of anyone other than Zach Sieler, naming Tyreek a leader, giving up and just rattling off the names of anyone who has a contract…

This is the game Chop Robinson had against the Raiders. He played a disruptive role, forcing Gardner Minshew to get the ball out in a Tua-like average of 2.4 seconds. Minshew struggled with accuracy while moving his feet to try and counter the disruption.

I’ve talked about backup OT Kion Smith the last few weeks. Here are his 32 pass snaps at Left Tackle. It’s not perfect and you’d not expect it to be. This is full speed, live bullets action and he’s not Trent Williams. But the transformation from 2022 to 2023 is astounding.

(Chris Grier) “Naquan Jones … Big bodied NT … Weaver’s defense it’s a little different type of DTs now that we’re looking for. Coach Weaver, Austin Clark, everyone very excited. Our video guys had to stay here at night and get the video going for them.” (some of that video)
