carson beck can't read zone

Depends on what he means. If he means long pass over like 40 yards, you need to remember the old adage that "everything is man 30+ yards down the field."

If he means explosive plays from screens, he's wrong again, as teams play zone under all the time and Miami blocks it up and hits explosives.

If he means Beck has traditionally struggled to rip it before he sees it open, I agree. If he means Beck struggles with a defense spins post snap and takes his initial read away, again I agree somewhat.

Indiana is a defense built to take away any offense if they can get pressure and stop the run. If not, they'll struggle to get Miami off the field and then the red zone will tell the story.

They're good. They're 15-0 for a reason.

Beck is actually really good at reading coverages. That’s never really been the issue with him. His issue has always been trying to do too much and forcing throws that don’t need to be forced.

He honestly throws the ball like an NFL QB, not a college QB. And that can be both a good thing and a bad thing.

Most college QBs are “see it, throw it” guys. Receiver pops open, ball comes out, simple. Beck doesn’t play it like that. He throws guys open. He anticipates routes. A lot of times the ball is already in the air before the WR even turns his head or finishes the break.

When it’s on, it looks beautiful. When it’s off, that’s when you get the “what was he thinking?” moments.

Most of his INTs come when he holds the ball too long and starts trying to thread needles that don’t need to be threaded. He trusts his arm a lot. Sometimes too much.

If he just learns when to take the easy throw and live for the next down

That film breakdown was honestly bad. Like… really bad.

Every OL rep isn’t supposed to be some “dominant” pancake block. That’s not how football works. A lot of times your job is literally just to get in the way. Occupy space. Be a body. That’s still a block.

Sometimes you’re sacrificing yourself so your teammate can make the real key block. That’s called team ball. Watching that video, it was funny because they were acting like guys were getting beat, meanwhile we’re ripping off 5–6 yards a pop. I was laughing.

Beck is also a really good teammate, and that doesn’t get talked about enough. On a lot of those plays where he pulled the ball down, it wasn’t because he panicked, it’s because he wasn’t about to hang his WR out to dry with a hospital ball.

He knows he’s got a legit defense behind him. There’s no reason to force throws when your defense is as good as UM’s. Live for the next play, punt if you have to, and keep it moving.

That’s smart football, not a flaw.

Yea I think a lot of this is being smart about risk, in the 4th quarter when plays need to be made they are throwing more than check downs.

Dude is a Miami hater looking at his twitter timeline. If we went back and watched Tom Brady’s film, we would see him miss stuff. That’s just football. That’s why you don’t run one route and you’ve got multiple options built into every play.

At the end of the day, it’s not about hitting the highlight throw every time. It’s about getting yards and moving the chains.

In a close game, passing up the easy throw or the check down just to hunt a big play can get you in trouble. You miss that deep ball by a couple inches and now it’s 3rd and long.

Chuck plays are cool, but they can hurt you too if you keep ignoring guys that are open underneath just to chase the deep shot.
