Josh Freeman's Arm

[caradoc]

As someone pointed out it was his footwork in all likelihood.  But maybe it was an alien tractor beam.

Yeah, it's probably footwork, even though the one he threw 60 yards in the air, his feet weren't on the ground and in the one he could barely get over 40 yards, his feet planted before he threw it.

I think you're talking about the first Atlanta game, and if I remember correctly they went downfield like 4 times in a row that series. He threw a pick downfield that was called back because of a penalty, and then they went downfield the next 3 plays and couldn't convert if I remember correctly.

Definitely the second game. I included the link on the previous page. I only know and brought it up because I happened to watch the second Falcons game earlier today.

Definitely a tractor beam then.

2:17 mark, no issues with arm strength...plenty of other examples on this vid to boot. 7:13 also...

Thank god he's on our team!




Smell a Joe Flacco type breakout coming on this year!

Josh needs to put on little more weight.."Like how he looks in that video maybe"...Because it seem, it was much more harder to bring him down..

I hope this year he has a great year..Heck, the whole team
 
"And please sign Mike Williams to a long term deal.. please.."

josh has always had footwork issues.

If Schiano is such a great coach why
hasnt this been fixed?

[bradentonian]

Schiano has bigger issues to worry about, like the pasta temperature

2:17 is one he probably should have underthrown a bit more and Mike Williams made a great catch off the defenders helment in the Giants game. 7:13 is a beautiful deep throw against the Redskins. Not sure what you're pointing at with these plays.

[Larry Brackins]

You're going to judge his arm strength based off one throw? Freeman throws a really good deep ball. Arm strength is not an issue.

[Spoolios]

I don't think anyone has claimed that arm strength is an issue.

close thread.

LOL, I feel like you guys are trolling me for posting the fake tweet about the Revis trade.

did you not hear?  we got a new QB coach.

He did what he was trying to do, & what he did successfully quite a bit last season. He chose to load it up, and throw the jump ball to Tjax.  High - but more on a line than in the case of the K-ST roll-out where his man clearly had a step. Much easier to let that one go in-stride & drop it in over the top of the coverage. Nice looking play for Freeman.  I think you're looking for something that's not there. Two completely different throws.

The second one was a jump ball to Jackson, not a bomb down the field.  It had nothing to do with arm strength.  You can tell it's a jump ball because of the trajectory, and he doesn't throw it too hard.

[Redwave]

3 things that jumped right out.  The trajectory, the coverage window, and he did load up a tab bit because he couldn't afford to float the ball w/ the safety over the top. TJax really only had to beat one guy because of that.

I know! He's been here for a full year now, it's inexcusable for this team to still have imperfections.
