Field Gulls on Gardner Minshew
From the article
Minshew fights pressures with pressure, throwing into the blitz. Jobe flying off the edge forces an instant throw after token PA.
STACKED’s take
Minshew forced into risky throws by Seahawks' aggressive blitz and varied coverage schemes.
The source's All-22 breakdown shows Gardner Minshew struggling against the Seahawks' aggressive defensive scheme. On one play with the Seahawks rushing 5 in Cover 3 zone (3 deep, 3 underneath), Minshew fought pressure with pressure, throwing into the blitz. The source notes that safety Thomas could never break it up with his initial alignment not tipping the blitz, suggesting Minshew's decision-making was forced and risky. On another play, the Seahawks rushed 6 in Cover 2 zone with cornerback Jobe flying off the edge, forcing an instant throw after token play-action. The source indicates that the route distribution never really threatened the coverage even if Minshew had time, and the Seahawks' varied blitz packages and coverage looks kept the offense guessing and unable to execute cleanly.
