50/50 Balls


Jul 23, 2019, 10:30 PM

I'm getting tired of hearing that we're lucky on these passes. When a WR drives a CB downfield and sees the CB turn his head in fear that the WR is going to run by him - and then the WR makes a come-back/out move while the CB has his head turned and is rewarded by a slightly high/slightly short pass that only the jumping WR has a chance to catch, that ain't a 50/50 ball...... it's a "I just screwed you" ball. We need all of those 50/50 balls we can get.

Kirk Herbstreit said something a few years back along the

lines of "If you don't understand what the paw means to college football, you better figure it out fast"

I'm sure he was talking to the fans of college football, but it seems he probably should've been speaking to the sports writers and talking heads because none of them seem to know why or how Clemson is where they are right now.

And they get zero.
That’s the thing. TL throws it where they have no chance, unless it’s deflected.

In the recent national championship game is was 100/0. With our QB and receivers I would expect those so-called 50/50 balls will be closer to 100/0 balls during the coming season, including the national championship game.

alot of our offensive playcalls are these back shoulder

reads at the line of scrimmage. Deshaun did it all the time. Ended up throwing some picks because of it but the positives far outweighed the negatives. Most College DB's aren't sophisticated enough to make the adjustments to defend a quick read as much as the nfl guys are. So they can call it a 50/50 ball or thr0wing into coverage if they want but that's the play. And it works. Whenever you beat a team by 4 touchdowns...its not lucky 50/50 balls that make it happen. Its totally dominating and breaking the will of your opponent.

50/50 balls are just thrown up for grabs and turn into

a jump ball situation. Most throws people seem to refer to as "50/50" balls really aren't.

-Deep outs are not 50/50 balls
-Hitting a man in stride on a go route is not a 50/50 ball
-Completing a deep back shoulder throw is not a 50/50 ball
-A throw like Brady used to make to Gronk or DW4 made to Mike Williams on the last drive in the 2016 title game where the ball is kind of thrown up but done so with clear purpose to a WR/TE who is much bigger and more physical than his defender and can box that defender out and then turn and leap to catch the ball is not a 50/50 ball.

Don't let it get to you. That criticism (if you can call it that) of our team is nothing more than yet another excuse as to why Alabama didn't beat us.
