Throw it at the feet of charbonnet and live to fight another day. Don’t try and force it with your legs wrapped
Easier said then done as you are being tackled. At the end of the day he didn't throw it to the defense, they ended up with the ball off a deflection

In hindsight, he should've darted it into the ground. But even with the pass located where it was... I mean, that was a good enough throw to get two hands on. Those throws usually don't end in the worst possible outcome, which is a fluke pop up.

That ended really badly, but I'd still rather he take that shot if he has it going forward. With our run game and line, we don't have those extra possessions to give up on.

Ideally the ball would've been out by then anyway, but that's the pain in the ass about this offense. It's too unbalanced and there's too much pressure on the pass game without anything to open it up.

Boom, baby. That's why I'm cool with him taking the shots. At some point, we need to hold that ball a little bit and pop the top off. You take the bad with the good.

I'd rather have a rushing attack like Miamis and live in the intermediate and deep passing game, but that's not the world we live in. Pass attack has to do it on its own.

You can’t hang on to it in that situation in the end zone. It’s a quick read and then throw it away. He’s played great otherwise but not there

That's 20% max on Geno. Oline and playcall is the culprit. If they're gonna play in their own end zone every frigging game, Grubb needs to come up with plays that assume 5 whiffed blocks by the OL.

But Geno has to know in that situation you just throw it away and he just hung on to it.
