Every coach, amateur to pro, will tell you that, “you play the way you practice”.
If Dan is putting in plays they haven’t practiced, he should be fired. Right now, today!
I’m sure every coach alien or omniscient being will also say production in practice doesnt always translate to game day
Anyone remember how amazing Arnold looked in camp? How he was shutting down Amon and was going to be the breakout player this year?
Yeah. me too

Exactly what I was thinking after his third drop. Comeon Jamo. You were just rewarded with a giant bag of generational wealth. Be better bro.

I have zero problems with people posting that Jamo had a bad game. He did. Jamo would undoubtedly agree with that assessment IMO. What I do have a problem with is people assailing his character by suggesting that he had a bad game bc he was high or drunk during the game. IMO that is crossing a line.

You aren’t the only one who feels like that.
It’s absolutely ridiculous.

You’re not really saying this are you? That’s Goff’s job to take the heat. That’s why coaches say it’s on them when their players are out there screwing the pooch. It’s called leadership.

Speculation is what people do on a message board. It’s not usually an attack on a player to say ….. damn was he out drinking all night or something?
Heck we hear stories all the time from former players talking about high they were during a particular game. It does happen. Probably more often than people care to admit.
I honestly don’t think that’s what happened with Jamo this last week. He definitely had an off game. There could be a number of reasons why. Most likely it’s something harmless like him being sick or something.
Jamo is just too dynamic to think this would become a continuous problem. So I’m not too worries about it.
I’ve played sports high. I’ve seen other people play high. I know what it looks like. And Jamo quacked, walked, and talked like a buzzed duck. We’ll probably never know the truth but if I had $1000 and HAD to bet it one way or the other, I’m going the ganja route, especially in a league where it’s been estimated 80% of players smoke weed I’m highly skeptical that Jamo would be in the 20%. There’s a reason why the NFL only tests them for once before the season… they’d run out of players.
I guess this Nobel laureate didn’t smoke either? 
I’m obviously not anti-weed and I certainly understand a player wanting to use it to control pain or just to chill out for a while. However, I don’t think it’s that big of a stretch to think that some guys have played the game high. In fact, many have admitted it after they’re playing careers. It’s funny because my original comment about this was half tongue in cheek. I didn’t realize it was going to trigger so hard.
You didn’t watch his presser, did you. I ask, because, that’s exactly what Goff did.
He threw Jamo under the bus on one, and, took responsibility/explained the rest.
Judge on, though. Don’t let me stop you.

Sure that’s just dumb. I didn’t say anything like that. I just said he’s had a pattern in his entire career of not being able to track over the shoulder deep balls all that well. And the deep sideline passes he looks pretty lost
The great receivers you see them use their body, protect the ball, use the sideline and look over their left shoulder. Trust that the quarterback is gonna put it there. Jamo drifts in field towards coverage, looks over his right shoulder, looks over his left shoulder, does a 360, then fling his arms up, hoping he can catch it. I’d like to see him track that ball better, have a better plan, and high point the ball to catch it right over coverage

acknowledging your receiver dropped a ball that was ridiculously obviously a drop is not throwing your receiver under the bus
Taking the blame for the other ones, a bad route, and piling on, isn’t his style. We’ve seen Goff have a long career and make these types of throws to a lot of different deep ball receivers without this issue
Jamison is the only one that has this problem consistently. It’s not hard to diagnose
Bear in mind too I’m talking about the sideline route in particular. There were a few other throws that didn’t connect because of solid defense. Not Jamos fault. The pick I put on Goff because for not seeing the change in coverage
But the drop was Jamo and changed from first and goal at the 8 to a turnover on downs
The sideline pass was Jamo not making the right read. I just checked the screenshots. Goff put the ball over his outside shoulder away from coverage like QBs want to do. Jamo for some reason stayed drifted to coverage and first looked inside before looking outside where the ball was coming
Goff is throwing the deep sideline pass to the inside shoulder away from coverage 10 times out of 10. And this isn’t the first time Jamo has botched that route
progress not perfection as so many are lamenting here…. its sort of hypocritical.
and progress, as we are all imperfect humans, comes with moments of regression.
Jamo will be fine overall
this imho is now 2025’s most over reaction thread yet
Well, don’t be too hasty, I do have my Micah Parsons blows giant chunks thread going.

I know that you didn’t. I’m referencing behavior after the game. And I’m defensive of Jamo as he:
1- is my favorite player
2- is essentially Tom Hanks’ character in Big
3- seems to have a heart of gold

and has also been getting character assassinated from day 1 on this board simply because he comes from a rough, inner city. People on this board were saying some pretty weird shit about him minutes after he was drafted.

Yes, to all of this. I agree, he may not be my favorite player, but he’s one of my favorites. That doesn’t mean he’s beyond reproach when he does uncharacteristic things during the game. Imagine the beat down had we lost this game. I think he has the ability to get 1500 yards and 12 touchdowns per season, but he’s fallen well short of that so far. Some of that is injury and some of that is knucklehead behavior. Right now he’s averaging 54 yards per game and has one touchdown on the season. That in my opinion is unacceptable for the number 12 overall pick in his third full season, especially with his physical gifts. So far his best game as a pro was last year against Chicago: five catches for 143 yard yards and one touchdown. I understand he draws coverage, but I think everyone on this board has the right to expect more out of him than he’s given so far. Agree?

I definitely feel like Jamo was distracted in our last game… He’s a great locker room guy… Everyone loves him (Especially the bald Community)… He just gets to learn to manage his emotions better.
He’s a hard worker I love him

Jamo had his guy beat and Goff throws it short and to the outside. (Jamo is known for not tracking a really bad passes. ) he actually tracked this one beautifully but with him spinning around the ball was too close to the sidelines and regardless if he caught it he would have had one foot out of bounds anyway. so that’s not a drop. He had one drop and his two receptions one was really behind him and if he throws it in front of him instead of slowing down he probably turns the corner for a big gain maybe a td. If you throw the ball out in front of him he will catch it. If he has to turn over the wrong shoulder he doesn’t look smooth and he want to catch it in his belly.
Not sure why he’s not in motion and immediately leverage the corner he’s moving way faster make a cut and it’s open every time.
If it’s zone once you clear the lb you are wide open on the crosser.
