    That play was really weird to me because as many times as he ran the replay I never saw EQ open.

    He kept talking about the safety settling but if you’re throwing it in that moment where everyone is placed you have to throw a seam and he has to catch it between the “O” and the “N” on Lions logo in the end zone. It seemed like any other pass in that area had a high probability of being snagged.

    TJ says CJ makes that throw all the time. I’m not doubting it. I would just like to see it because I saw nothing there.

      I’m with you on that. Imo JT messed up in his analysis of that play.

      I agree too. It looked like the safety was sitting and ready to make a play on the ball if thrown. It would maybe be a TD when the safety starts tracking the other receiver but I think that would have been to late leading to a sack

      Not every throw is the same velocity. When Stroud makes that throw, it’s usually a softer pass towards the endzone, to give the WR more time to get behind the safety.

      That’s what JT is talking about here–the window isn’t that he’s open when he makes the cut, it’s that he’s open to be led as soon as the safety sits, and you can see that as he moves towards the back of the endzone.
