TBird Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 How many think Perriman makes that catch at the end? I do. He really hurt us with no speed. Denver didn't have to worry about deep threat or the middlebeing open by Perriman's or Torrey's speed. Before they did. Ozzie told Forsett he just took a man out of the box when he drafted Perriman but with himout, the extra man was int he box and shut down the running game and they came after Joe. No worry with the deep threat this year and I believe Perriman makes that catch at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldno82 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Yes, not having Perriman is going to kill us, even more than losing T-Sizzle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsylvester Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 speed had nothing to do with it, you can't get 10 yards down field and have a chance at a catch in under 1 second. Smith is a sure handed receiver, 9 out of 10 times he makes that catch, this one happened to be #10...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBird Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 Then why did they draft Perriman anyway? He was the fastest man in the draft. He ran past all the Ravens during the mini camps until he was injured on 30 July. Denver would have had their best CBs on him. He would have opened the middle like Torrey did butthere were no throws over the middle to Gilmore. It wasn't there. The extra man in the box shut down the running game. The game isn't as close as it was with Perriman in there with his speed and the offense would havegenerated a few scores themselves with less men in the box because they were worried aboutPerriman's speed. That ball was just out of SRs reach and Joe was rushed again. Those last 10 yards in the red zoneare the hardest to get. Just ask Seattle. They couldn't thet the last yard in the SB at the end.

TBird Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 Like I said, it was just out of SRs reach. That's because Roby got a hand on it and changed its direction. That's why SRcouldn't catch it. Similar to the Lee Evans dropped ball in NE couple of years ago with 30 secsleft to the SB. DB got his hand in there at last second. (On the dropped pass by Steve Smith Sr.)“I think when you really look at it, [bradley Roby] got a hand on that ball and kind of misdirected it, you know, changed the course of the ball and made Steve drop it. It was a huge play by Roby.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBird Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 Here's a vid of it. Guy is definitely in SRs face and at least distracted him. Ball is coming in hard as Joe was hit on the throw and still got it off hard. SRsaid CB didn't touch it but he got in his way, ball hits him in the hands and then chestand bounces away. I've been saying for a long time Joe throws the ball too hard for a lot of guys. That ballhits his hands hard even thought the CB is in his face. Doesn't seem like he touchedthe ball. SR agrees with Tim that he should have caught it anyway but given the coverage and velocityof throw, it just wasn't going to happen. http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/2015091309/2015/REG1/ravens@broncos#menu=gameinfo%7CcontentId%3A0ap3000000530003&tab=recap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
52isUnstoppable Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Are you saying that the pass to Steve Smith was thrown too hard? It was a softly throw lob pass, a rainbow. Joe didnt have time to step into a pass all day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBird Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 Good point and I mentioned above Joe was hit as he threw the ball but the balldefinitely hits SRs hands hard, bounces off into the chest and then straight offthe chest. Roby might have gotten a hand on the ball to give it a push. He is definitely inSRs face with tight coverage but the ball hits Sr really hard. See the vid again.

It was a huge play by Roby.” I put a picture up on Crav's facebook page of the Smith drop. Yes, he should have had it, it hit him right in the face. The defender distracted his eye enough to throw off the timing of his hands coming together. It happens, another receiver would likely have had the same result.

thundercleetz Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 https://vine.co/v/eF2gHQjXM56 Hard to tell if it was tipped or not. Kind of similar to Antonio Brown's TD catch this week: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varaven45 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Agree with the notion that Smith makes that catch 9 out of 10 times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
