Jackson McIntire breaks down Justin Fields film from his Week 3 game against the Chargers Listen to the Weekly Blitz: t.co/85yd0Tcnas Follow Jackson: x.com/2HighCov...
It’s so so so crazy that Chicago failed this kid. Like bruh he don’t throw w the most anticipation at times okay, while he learns that u can figure out ways to use his arm strength and see it throw it guy untill he developed!! Just insane, and honestly I do think he developed end of last year he was good. But this is different 32 drop backs and only 1 scramble? Cmon, 78% completion like whos this
It's really not that crazy, Chicago is one of the worst franchises in the NFL developing quarterbacks. Their own Jim McMahon coined Chicago as the place where quarterbacks go to die. Nuff said...
Amazing breakdown. Some of the things you mentioned particularly on ball placement to protect his guys absolutely shocked me thru the first 3 weeks. This is something many QB’s struggle with and often get their guys blown up, but Fields has made several plays where At first I thought man he kinda was a bit wide on that throw(and he does have some of those too accuracy isn’t his strongest trait for sure so don’t hear what I’m not saying) but then rewatching it especially from different views I’m impressed with what he’s doing. Arthur Smith and Pittsburgh are a great fit for him and I think he could actually develop into a QB that can be the reason the team wins. Again wonderful video and breakdown. He still has some things to work on…a lot actually but this is not a backup level QB. This isn’t even a “rotational” level player if that was a thing for QB’s. This is a starter and the fact Chicago let him go for a 4th round pick is kinda wild. I kind of understand why DJ Moore wanted and fought for Justin.
Respect! One of few vids that goes into whats actually the issue with Justin's game.He's has definately improved by starting his long wind up release by anticipating the receiver coming open in the window of the zones.Because playing Man2Man against Justin without having stud DB'S would be crazy.Good Zone playing defenses normally make Justin look pretty pedestrian.Hopefully the Steelers will continue to nurture his developement because its needed.He's still only averaging 1 TD per game and 17 points which isnt much.The werent gonna pay 45mil for that stat line nor pick up that 5th year option.Hey even the Steelers decline his 5th yr option as well so apparently they see what smart ppl are seeing.
Correct. If Patterson flattens hit route and comes down a tad that’s a completion. This is why I can’t wait to see Roman wilson start he’ll make those plays .. Patterson was never the best receiver just great with the ball in his hands
100% Disagree on play 3. Fields wasn't late, the receiver should have flattened the route instead of drifting upfield towards the defender. This is why PFF is trash. The evaluators may know concepts, but they don't know specific assignments.
Fields threw this to the slant cut, if this route was flattened it’s a massive overthrow. The concept here is to bend over the linebacker who’s taking the hitch underneath, sure we’d love a flatter stem but if this ball is on time it doesn’t matter.
