Grading Brissett

None of the receivers were open and Brissett took a chance and forced one to Hilton. I was fine with that decision in that down and distance. The defender just made a nice play. It would've been nice to have Funchess on that play, as he's a mismatch in most press situations.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but on the int, I thought the ball was a little behind TY? If that's on the outside shoulder, then it's a completion.

Also I noticed one play to Cain, where if he comes back to the ball it would likely have been a completion.

Yes, it was placed a little too far inside, but it still took a great defensive play to make the INT. Two feet further outside and it is a completion. That is just how accurate an NFL QB must be at times.

It was maybe 1 foot off. I didn’t knock him for it, but a perfect throw is possibly complete, more likely a pass defensed.

The Cain throw was a split second late. I don’t think their timing is where it will be later in the year.

BTW, on another viewing, I'm putting that INT somewhat more on Brissett. The defender made a great play, but the throw was a split-second too late.

The Cain throw was similar, but Cain needed to work back to the ball. He just stood there waiting on the ball and let the defender make a play.
