Talent Take

The rookie is still learning
Matthew Stafford's horrific day was partially due to the rookie repeatedly throwing the ball late over the middle. A quarterback is routinely instructed not to pass tardy between the hashes because the bulk of the defense rests in the center of the field. Balls that are delivered late often lead to tips or deflections and often become interceptions. Of Stafford's five interceptions, four occurred between the numbers, including two picks by linebacker David Hawthorne.
