your argument is based upon him catching the ball.
im not talking about catching the ball. of course getting an INT is the best possible outcome. but winning the game is the most important outcome. swatting, or INT both achieve this.
my problem is with his attempt to catch the ball. he made a conscious decision to go for the pick, which was the wrong decision flat out. sometimes these decisions work in your favor, this time it didnt (even if that isnt entirely his fault).
im talking about before the catch was made...while the ball is in the air...the smart thing to do is always knock it down.
attempting to go for the INT leads to an offensive catch more often than attempting to go for the swat down. given those facts, the back should've played the odds.
"in jennings pos., you maximise your power on the outcome,
and that's attempting to catch the ball - the negative variables of swatting the ball away outweigh the negative variables of
attempting to catch the ball. any live ball in that situation does no favors for the defense." - gil scott heroin.
there that better for you,.... jennings was in the definitive POSITION to catch the ball... and he did.
how in the hell was him going for the interception the flat out wrong decision? that makes ZERO sense...... fukk is you saying nikka. the majority of the time these decisions work in the defenders favor. jennings was in a position to catch the ball and he did so... that is no where near the flat out wrong decision on his part.
attempting to catch the ball with TWO hands >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> deflecting a oblong-shaped object that can have a different trajectory pattern from the intended direction of the deflection. on a surface level, you attempt to spike a spinning, moving oblong shaped object with a closed fist/open hand, it ain't always gonna go the direction and speed you intended it to go.. this is all just basic physics.. and this isn't even weighing into the equation that there are x-amount of opposition players in the area too,.. if you catch the ball, you leave less environmental factors to have a say, compared to swatting the ball (all in jennings position)... as i said, if you have definitive position on making a play you maximise the power you have on the situation, you leave little as possible outside factors to come into the equation....
they both have negs/poss', but catching it in a postion where you're able to defintively put two hands on the ball is ALWAYS the lesser of two evils.
just sayin best way to make sure the refs get the correct call....dont give them a call to make.
