@Rambo89 there were some interesting responses to that tweet from AQ Shipley, a 12 year NFL OL...
Hey @NYGToday I understand the negativity towards Neal but before furthering the narrative maybe understand the play before posting what you "think" rather than "know". Neal has a sift on backer in empty protection which he does. This is all on Jones. Needs to throw hot!
What does that even mean. Plays are designed with protection rules. It doesnt matter if no one is open. If you have 5 in protection and they bring 6 then you are hot and therefore need to throw hot to someone or throw away so you dont take sack. That is how plays work. You always want to leave the widest because he will take longest to get to qb.
Also just so you know thats how every protection is. Back has his responsibility and line has theres. If back is out on route the line has them "all" if more come than you have lineman ball has to get out quick and one of the lineman will have to sift inside and leave the widest unblocked.
The qb always has something built in if they bring more to either side than can protect.
