VigilantZombie Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 On the AB TD. Its not fair to even suggest Ward got beat, Champ Bailey in his prime wouldn't have defended that without drawing a flag. It was perfectly placed. He played the ball and receiver perfectly but the perfect pass is undefendable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did play it well but it is entirely possible that he could have separated the arm from the ball when it got there, it looked like that was going to happen but he just missed. I'd say he had a 50/50 chance to break up that play with his position he just didn't get it that time but it was certainly defendable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF he would have gotten his head around earlier he could have made a play on it. But going up against AB and a prefect pass from Ben "Therapist" Roethlisberger, I don't see anyone else in the league doing much better.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No complaints on that coverage at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In man coverage you are taught not to turn your head until the WR's hands go up. I'm a defensive coach and nothing results in more long touchdowns than CB's peeking for the football too early in man coverage. You are taught to wait until his hands go up to catch the ball, turn your head, leap in the air, and bat the ball down or pick it off. I don't want Ward peeking back for the football prematurely. It's bad defense. Â His coverage on Antonio Brown on that play was pretty much elite. Brown just does that to elite players regularly. Just gotta tip your hat to him on that one. Â That was the best game a Cleveland DB has had in years. Since Haden locked up AJ Green what seems like ages ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree with you. I was just saying IF and it was a big IF, it was even capitalized. But he did everything he was supposed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he turns his head away it’s prolly an easier play for AB. Ward was on him perfectly and has his arm in a great position. Just got beat by greatness in AB and BIgBen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
