Reply to comment by drethnudrib in The Jaguars score from a turnover to go ahead against the Titans, they will make the playoffs after starting 4-8 and being 4 games behind in the division by PodOfManyTides

I disagree. He has played ok to that point, the box was loaded, and you have to try to pick up a first down. He just has to know to get the ball out quicker than that, even if he doesn’t see the blitzer. It should’ve been drilled into him on the sideline “count to 2 and let it fly.”

This is a good assessment.

The clock isn't low enough to justify running it into a defense that is loaded up to stop the run, even if you have Henry running it.

The move is to have the qb make a quick throw that ideally will give a reciever open room to make someone miss, and maybe even a big gain. Short of that, to surprise the defense and pick up a first down so you can keep milking the clock.

Dobbs should have thrown sooner or just run it himself, or throw it away if necessary.

This isn’t a fair instance to demonstrate it, since he’s a third string QB, but the Titans have a serious QB problem heading into next year. Tannehill is extremely limited (always has been, as I’m a dolphins fan), and they don’t have the weapons to mask poor play from Willis or Dobbs.

Time to use free agency, trades, or the draft to help the qb situation.
