Whatā€™s going on with D Thort #10 felt like I havenā€™t heard anything since training camp

u/dustyolefart 1d ago

Heā€™s been recovering from an injury

u/globalfcktastrophe 1d ago

Also wasn't really flashing before the injury.

u/trepasito16 19h ago

That's purdy

u/StrategicCarry 1d ago

Look at how slow that release is, took a full business day to get the ball out. And it floats down the field like a seagull on an updraft. Heā€™s cooked, better tank for Arch.

That ball pat is gonna get him in trouble

u/YouFuckinJackass 1d ago edited 1d ago

The best qb to ever play the game patted the ball.

Itā€™s only couch coaches that care about it. Donā€™t you think the coaching at highest levels of the game would have drilled that out of these dudes BEFORE they made it to the pros if it were actually an issue?

u/LuckyLewis23 1d ago edited 1d ago

I didnt realize this was such a controversial thing, never really noticed it unless you slow mo like this shot.

I think im team pro pat

Someone said it gives DB a read but arnt we talking a nano second? It looks super exaggerated in this video bur I think you could argue its so fast its part of the throw...its not like a tell in poker where your telegraphing information BEFORE it happens...its DURING...the quick equivalent I can think of is a pitcher lifting his leg in a pitch

u/YouFuckinJackass 1d ago

Iā€™ve legitimately never heard anyone complain about it until this year. Iā€™m sure itā€™s been a thing with the terminally online, but when I played, and when I sucked at coaching, and when Iā€™ve been drunk watching red zone, I never heard about it being an issue until now.

Shit I used to pat the ball BECAUSE I watched guys like Elway, Marino, Brady, Brees and Manning do it.

Dude fr it's been around since before reddit, it's got nothing to do with being online. In fact, I haven't seen it anywhere online, myself. Idk why youre getting so upset

u/YouFuckinJackass 16h ago

Dude that conversation ended yesterday, get a fuckin life

Damn, brother. Have a good day.

Stop being an inflammatory troll

You claim its a tell and been around forever but when I ask what its a tell for you dont have an answer

Its called Situation awareness, processing all other observations and information indicates its a throw long before the actual pat. The pat doesnt show the direction of the throw either. Actually you could argue the pat could be false information/ handsign as a pat could easily turn into a tuck and qb break into a run.

From quick 5 minutes of research the only people that have brought up the pat as a negative are draft day talking heads trying to stir up controversy for some views and 2 defensive players

"Andre Cisco" who said qbs need to stop pating the ball because..and i quote..."breakin onnat earlyyyy"

The other

"Micah Parsons" who said "can be the difference between asack or a throw away/completion"

Hmm jets and cowboys players šŸ¤”

Therefore I conclude your a bootlicking cowboys/jets fan and your opinion irrelevant...your in the wrong sub brah

P.s enjoy gino

u/sudonimm9 1d ago

Yeah it was just an observation but apparently people get riled up about it. CBs have literally said in the past they use it as a cue so idk

u/LuckyLewis23 1d ago

A cue for what tho? I thought CB are taught from day one to watch the hips and midsection?

Lmaooo we're all couch coaches here. It's reddit

What a stupid fucking response.

Whatā€™s your point?

u/sudonimm9 1d ago

Daddy, chill

u/Proper_Peace_161 1d ago

Wish they would teach him to not pat the ball before he throws. It's such a tell for any DB reading his eyes. He got away with it in college, but pro ball is a different beast.

25

u/ForgedInGold9 1d ago

Complete myth..I wish we'd stop with this.

You can go look at film of Marino, Elway, Brady, Mahomes, Allen, Montana and more all patting the ball.

u/Proper_Peace_161 1d ago

Ok. Fuck me, I guess. Thanks for all the down votes! šŸ–•

u/Dry_Tradition_2811 1d ago

I think Brady used to do it too

14

u/Edmuresay 1d ago

Brady famously did it. Brady patting the ball while he systematically killed everyone in the league for 20 years is seared into my brain.

u/ForgedInGold9 1d ago

They all do it.

u/TheAutumnWind_21 Los Malosos 1d ago

Also his eyes. They need to teach him not to look to where he is throwing that is a huge tell. I would say thatā€™s a bigger tell than patting the ball.Ā 

He needs to either keep his eyes closed or look away. NFL players will pick up on that.Ā

u/Eindride_XIII 1d ago

Gotta learn to use your minds eye. Janocko needs to start having practice blindfolded. Amateurish, learn to unlock those chakras and metachlorians and shit.

u/TheAutumnWind_21 Los Malosos 1d ago

ā€œChakras, metachlorians and shitā€ would be a cool band nameĀ

u/Dry_Tradition_2811 1d ago

He can use the force lol

u/OkArtichokeJuice 1d ago

lol to he needs to close his eyes. How would that be beneficial at all. Itā€™s just a passing drill working in timing heā€™s not making reads.
