He called it a trust throw and that he didn't mind the throw, just the outcome and said he needed to look at it again. Called it bad because it was a fail. Fields clearly blamed ESB.
St. Brown: “They squat on curl routes, and [Alexander]’s a good player,” “He made a great play on the curl route that I ran. And yeah, I’ve got to try to get out sooner.”
Fields: “EQ was underneath him, but at that point, once you throw that ball, you anticipate the throw, and boom, he jumped it,” “Really at that point, you'd like to see the receiver come back to the ball. We always just try to tell the receiver that those DBs are going to want that pick each and every time, so they are going to attack that ball.”
Fields hasn't thrown anyone under the bus all year with LOTS of opportunities. There's a reason he did this time.
Alexander: "He's a scrub" "I knew it was coming. One thing about the receiver that I got the pick on, you're going to know when he's about to breaking down his route. "
Fields threw it on the other side of the coverage and EQ's route was so bad that Alexander crossed in front of St Brown when he was originally behind and outside of him. Brown didn't even try to shield that throw and it's part of that route. He rounded inside and opened a lane for Alexander. It's the type of ball that gets picked every time the WR falls... unless you're ESB.
It didn't have to be a completion but it should never be a pick with an NFL WR in that position. I didn't like the 2nd pick regardless of how quickly we needed to score but the 1st one should never have been that.
Throw whatever insults you like. I'm done.
