Go back and watch the TV copy for yourselves.
I want you to watch every single drop back from McCord, and I want you to see how many times he threw the ball to his first read, and how many of those were completed to an open receiver. It’s actually incredible.
I would bet my literal life that, if you could sit alone at a bar with Kyle McCord and have him speak completely freely, he would tell you that was one of the easiest games of his life, regardless of opponent. Almost every single snap, he came to the line with a call, looked at his first read, and had an open kid to throw to. No confusion. No reading a defense. No disguised coverage. Very little pressure off the snap, and none due to him having to go through multiple reads. Just step up, know where the ball is going, first down. Every ******* play.
Oh, the back is isolated in man vs a backer? Done. Easy money. Oh, they’re in press man and the safety is down, easy vertical, done. Oh, they’re running cover zero and a DE is dropping into coverage? Get in behind him, easy throw. Done.
It was the same **** over and over and over. We made nothing even remotely difficult. He’s had harder 7 on 7 practices, I promise you. If we got beat by Superman dodging pass rushers while going through multiple reads, or circus catches in double coverage, or pinpoint throws to covered receivers, I’d live with it. But this was literally so easy. He’s probably still laughing at how much of a joke that was.
