OU, you got a video example? 25-30 yards really isn't that far, so a bullet pass isn't going to get that high above the ground......

[I OU a Beatn]

No. What's he's talkin' about is perfectly normal. You can't bullet a pass 30 yards down the field without the ball being picked off by the underneath coverage. But you can throw the ball "normal" and put it right inbetween the coverage. It's easily doable, just don't expect to bullet the ball everywhere and not get picked off by guys playing the passing lanes.

...are you serious? You can't find something wrong in a 25 yard pass being picked off by someone who is 8 yards from the LOS playing an underneath coverage? Ponder that for a moment, do the math, then get back to me.

This.

We need that Sports Science dude to solve this one.

When I'm stepping up into the pocket, the ball should be led. It wasn't even a full on bullet pass. It was more of a bullet than a lob, but it had some touch on it. I even had the analog stick pointing up so the QB would lead the receiver. It looked absolutely retarded, I do know that.

This is the thread I was talking about.


So Oneback, the veer is basically a read option but instead of the qb reading the backside DE he reads the frontside one? Doesn't matter about the pre snap motion correct?

We might. I personally have a hard time believing a full on bullet pass should've been picked off, either, let alone one that had an ounce of touch on it. That's almost a 20 yard difference in total flight, so that's one hell of a jump. Like I said, a lot of it has to do with the low trajectory the ball is thrown at which isn't realistic at all. I've had several balls knocked down because the ball wasn't thrown high enough even though it had touch on it.

Haha yeah exactly

I'm at work too....another hour or so.

You do realize that with the arm strength to throw the deep out route (12-15 yards down the field), you have to bullet the pass pretty much with barely any arc on the ball at all right? You're trying to do the exact same thing over the middle of the field. 12-15 yards and 20-25 yards is going to barely have ANY difference on the arc of the ball if you're trying to sling it in there as hard as you can.

Absolutely agree with this. The fact that linemen and linebackers were jumping as high as they were in 11 to swat passes (hell even pick them off) is unrealistic as hell.

someone playing -critiqueing the demo

[beartide06]

Well one thing I just saw that I did not like at all was that I just had 6 defenders get pancaked AT ONE TIME.

[Tarhead10]

Wow, I think I have thrown more interceptions than JB did at community day!!...

[JBHuskers]

Wow, I think I have thrown more interceptions than JB did at community day!!...

...and that was just one game (for me )

[beartide06]

And now 5 people just got pancaked at once on the DL. I am playing against bama by the way.

[johntom2000]

+1 I am in the same boat. I get off in like 5 mins tho but, got a 30 min drive home.

If it was a full bullet pass, yeah, I might be more inclined to agree. But like I said, it did have some touch on it. Obviously not a lot because then the safety comes into play, but there was touch. We're going to have to agree to disagree because there's no way I'll ever accept that a LB 8 yards off the LOS should be able to make a play on a ball that is thrown ahead of the receiver on a 20+ yard post route.

I think Bamas O-line is just horribly overrated, because in the other games the OL-DL interaction is pretty good, but against Bama they pancake my players all game

And people were bitching and moaning a couple months or weeks or whenever ago when the bullrush video came out. At least that was only one offensive lineman.
