00:00There will be no Jameis Winston slander for that interception he threw
00:04with the game on the line at the Packers game.
00:06I played receiver.
00:07That's on us.
00:08It's on the route of discipline because it has to be there for two reasons.
00:12One, you're in the red zone.
00:13Two, the game's on the line.
00:15It's our time to shine.
00:16So let's break this thing down.
00:18All right, you're seeing here, you see Jalen Hyatt and Wondell Robinson
00:21here at the bottom of the screen.
00:23Those are your two wide receivers.
00:25Jalen Hyatt has the corner route here.
00:27And one thing we're taught, we're rewinding this now,
00:29one thing that we're taught when we're running these corner routes
00:32against these safeties, go ahead, we'll go right, pause, right here.
00:38You can't see the safety because he's a little bit off the screen.
00:41But one thing we are taught when it comes to our route discipline
00:44and how we run these things, if we have a safety that's down,
00:49that we can get up on per se, and with Jalen Hyatt's speed, he can do that,
00:55then we take a high angle towards the back of the back pylon.
01:00We usually take that high angle.
01:01But two things that are going on here.
01:04We're in the red zone, so space is limited.
01:07And two, you see this safety with the outside technique on Jalen Hyatt.
01:12And you can kind of see it there.
01:14We'll pause that there.
01:15That safety is already breaking to the corner route.
01:18So what this tells me or what this shows us as a receiver,
01:22instead of taking a high angle to that back pylon,
01:26we want to now cross face, cross the face of this safety,
01:31because one, that puts us in play to just go up
01:36and make a great grab on a 50-50 ball.
01:39Two, it makes you're on the same page as the quarterback.
01:44So Jameis is thinking that Jalen Hyatt is going to cross the face of this safety,
01:50and it almost comes, it looks like some sort of an out route per se
01:55instead of a high angle corner route.
01:58Now let's back it up again because there's reason.
02:01People are asking why Jameis threw the ball the way he did towards that back pylon.
02:07Look here at this corner, at the corner right here.
02:10He jumps that sit route.
02:12They're in cover two.
02:14Wondell runs the sit route, and it's some sort of flat control.
02:17So you're controlling that corner to bam, to jump that sit route.
02:22Now when he understands that he's got that backer's help,
02:26he's now going to turn around and try and rob the seven,
02:30try and rob that seven route, that corner route.
02:33So Jameis Winston has to put some sort of air on the football
02:37so that corner can't come off the sit route by Wondell and go and rob the corner route
02:43because he knows his receiver is going to flatten it off, flatten it off,
02:49so it can now become a 50-50 ball, and he can go up and make that catch.
02:54It was bad route discipline by the wide receiver here in Jalen Hyatt,
02:58and that's unfortunate because with the game on the line, I know it's third and six,
03:03and you at least want to be in position to break this pass up
03:07to where you can go into a fourth and six.
03:09You were going to have to go for it regardless.
03:12So that's on us, and it's unfortunate because at the end of the game,
03:16you're trying to make a play.
03:17You're trying to go down, score to tie the game up per se,
03:22and you want to be able to make a play for your quarterback
03:25who's got trust in you to throw that football in that moment.
03:28Unfortunately, but at the end of the day, we got to be there.
03:32We got to be better as receivers at that point.
