Re: Herbert
Just an assumption from observation, but I thought Herbert looked like he might've been playing sick in the ASU game.

Re: Herbert
This is exactly why I think it’s a confidence/mental issue. When he doesn’t have to think he is fantastic. He’ll make an unbelievably difficult throw one play and miss a wide open WR the next.StevensTechU wrote:I don't have the stats, but it seems Herbert is actually at his best when the pressure IS on. His worst throws seem to come in the first half of games, often with a clean pocket.
The second pick last night was a clear pass interference. I don't exactly put that on him. But overall, that may have been his worst day as a Duck, and if you're a fan who judges a player by their worst day, Lord have mercy on you.

Agreed. Forced to leave the pocket and throw on the run? Dude makes some unbelievable throws.dthomas=ddixon wrote:This is exactly why I think it’s a confidence/mental issue.

At one point during the uw game, he was 8/9 on 3rd down. He just didn't get into a rhythm in Tempe.

Re: Herbert
That one and the Auburn one both really sting. When a team crashes 11 on the RB, your QB has to keep the damn ball.rockthief wrote:That crucial 4th and 1 is still bothering me. Herbert needed to tuck the ball and run right up the middle. I don't know why he did not. Maybe he is afraid to run? That score would have been the game. Oh well, that is old and cold soup. Moving on to blasting Oregon State.
This and no QB sneak really piss me off, because Mario is being stubborn as hell.
I'm not saying we need to run Herbert 10 times a game, but 1-2 times a game to keep the defense honest, absolutely.
