[QUOTE="BigStan97, post: 1325061, member: 7573"] Come on everyone. It's man to man coverage which means when the defender turns it's back to the QB to run with the WR, the QB can throw what's called the "back shoulder throw" Yes the ball is a little low but Smith made a great adjustment to make a play. When the QB sees its man to man the defender will not know the ball has been thrown until the WR turns back to make a play on the ball. The reaction window for the defender to be running with WR and be able to somehow turn completely around to make a play on the ball when the WR turns is very very difficult. You see this play all the time (think packers and Mr. Rodgers do it the best) also you seen it near the goalie in college and NFL. The fact the George Jr has the accuracy/timing/ and then confidence to throw this AND and freshman WR to be able to adapt to make a play on the ball at the last second is a Phenomenal play by all. I don't see the confusion by some of you that think this was a "lucky play" or a badly thrown ball. [/QUOTE]
