I think Tarvaris needs to throw it a little higher.

I don’t think it’s clear evidence that BMW was “out-muscled” but it does look like a “jump ball” situation that BMW should have been able to out-muscle Webb. Webb doesn’t really have any advantage in position or size to prevent the play, he just seems to put more effort into it than BMW.

Immediately after the play, BMW appeared to appeal to the ref for a PI. In the re-play you can see that BMW’s right arm (our left) is not extended because it is being held down by Webb. Webb is being physical with the much-bigger BMW and BMW doesn’t appear to be able to respond with greater physicality.

There may be a case to be made that it is easier to disrupt a pass than to make a catch, but I think this is one example of BMW not using his size to his advantage and one reason why he isn’t getting as many targets this year.

This isn’t a jump ball by any means, and it’s put in a position where both men had equal opportunity to make a play. Yes the QB could have thrown it better, but it’s still a good enough pass, and in the NFL a play Williams should make every time (with some exceptions and anomolies). Webb played hard and aggressively, and pushed himself to make a play, where as it seemed Williams was content on letting the ball reach him, and whatever happens inbetween, happens. In other words… he didn’t follow through the play with as much efford and put in the work to shield the defender, get his arms and hands out infront, and make an aggressive play on the ball to make a catch. He looked lazy where as Webb showed some fire.

This is a consistent trend with Williams… and as much as he rebounded last year, play like this is pretty concerning to me. Especially from someone so big, strong and with so much talent. He’s grown up a lot and put in a lot more of himself into his career and football, hence why he’s actually on a roster….but he’s still coming up short. I would have Williams on a short leash if I were the coach. Other WR’s on this roster less talented have shown up moreso than him, and shown they want to play and fight to win. Obo and Baldy being those two.
