In the latest installment of his video series breaking down various quarterbacks, Touchdown Wire’s Mark Schofield tackles Matthew Stafford’s outstanding performance against the Washington Football Team in Week 10.
Schofield focuses on three separate plays, leading off with the long TD pass to Marvin Hall early in the game. Next up is the strike to Marvin Jones for a touchdown, where Schofield also highlights the pre-snap adjustment Stafford makes to properly execute the pattern. The final one is a late throw over the middle that not many quarterbacks can pull off.
The common theme from all three throws is Stafford’s ability to manipulate the coverage with his body language and eyes. It creates the separation for his receivers more than their own abilities and that’s crucial for the success of the plays.
