he overthrew Hunter going rt to left in the middle of the field, but I'm not sure if there was a communication issue with JH "sitting down" or bray may have thought he was heading up field, and he overthrew JH on the near the goalline with an out pattern.

I want to say he missed Rivera over the middle in the first quarter. I know he missed one over the middle, might not have been Rivera.

Most of the overthrows were a result of pressure making him move his feet.

IIRC he only threw one ball that Hunter couldn't get to. The rest should have been caught.

Yeah, the drops were a little concerning, but I think that was hearing footsteps for his first game back.

He did have a couple, but it's definitely not something I'm going to worry about. Every QB has a couple passes in games they'd like to have back. I will never complain about 27/41, 300+ yards, 2 tds and 0 INTs(not saying you are, either. Speaking in general). And as others stated, he had some uncharacteristic drops by Hunter and throw aways.

My only complaint with Bray was his overthrows Friday. Watching him, I saw the problem I believe. If you watch his overthrows, he gets too low on his throws when he has time. Bray has such a cannon, and when he uses his legs to power up, it can lead to overthrows. If you notice when he is pressured, the touch is better and he's more upright.

I don't think it's a big deal, but I believe it kind of answers why he can overthrow his receiver bad.

Was going to watch the replay tonight. Just curious, which ones stood out the most because I would like to watch it because usually a few times in a game last year Bray would get that gunslinger mentality and try for too much, but off the top of my head don't remember that much Friday. Bray and Hunter had several miscommunications where Bray would read the safety and expect Hunter to be there when Hunter went the opposite way. I am usually good at containing emotions of the game and remembering the throws and details, but I was too giddy Friday night to remember much of anything.

I agree Bray had a great game. If he can correct that little mechanical flaw, he'll even be better (scary thought).

Well one overthrow certainly isn't anything to complain about.

Pretty dumb thread in my opinion. Coaches and players don't seem worried so I just don't see the point in making a thread just so you can boost your ego by a couple of folks agreeing with you. Maybe I should start a thread about how JH shouldn't jump when trying to catch a pass chest high?

And I swear. Whats with negative negative negative? How about start a thread about Bray's decision making, or Bray's solid game.

I haven't watched since Saturday afternoon, so not at the top of my head. He missed one over the middle in the 1st, the one to JH on a fade, and then I think a 3rd down in the 4th.

And they weren't bad decisions. Just a mechanical flaw in his throws.

It isn't really even negative. I have said multiple times in this thread he played great. I wrote a really nice review of him Friday night in my postgame thread.

Then start a thread on what he did he good eh? He did a lot more good than bad.

Don't worry, he's gonna pull a Fulmer and work like heck to get better haha. In all seriousness though, TB will be fine. The few bad throws he had were just a part of the game. The defense got to him a couple of times before he wanted to throw it, resulting in an over throw. Bray had been known to have good mechanics ever since the Elite 11 camp his senior year in hs. I am VERY confident in our QB. Could even be our first heisman if we can stay injury free (no jinx haha)

I agree. He did a lot more good than bad and I'm excited to see him progress. This was intended to be about more specific football talk, his mechanics mostly, to see if what I was seeing was correct. Yet, of course, as usual, there is a major overreaction who want to take things out of context.

Dear God.

I was very pleased with Friday's performance. It was excellent and I said it was his best game.

I'm just ribbing you.

And it was nowhere near his best game imo

As you can see, I'm being sem-defensive today.

I disagree. I thought he made so many smart decisions. There were maybe two throws that made me say "Bad pass". He just was on and looks to be a complete QB. He has the best arm talent in the country. I can't wait to see what he becomes.

The only bad throw I can think of right now is where Bray missed Hunter on the goal line. However, on that throw I thought Bray threw it a bit wide on purpose to make sure it wouldn't get intercepted and go for 6 points the other way.

I saw it as results from a learned lesson from the Vandy game last year.

I wasn't talking about throw aways. I know the difference. And he missed a couple guys on overthrows. I was simply suggesting that the overthrows were caused by him getting too low and using too much leg power to go with his arm strenght.

You guys are seriously overreacting to this.

Just enjoy the game and quit being a prick.:popcorn:
