[QUOTE="easyk83, post: 515296, member: 8895"] If a quarterback fails to see a linebacker dropping into coverage and throws it right to said Defender, then most likely the receiver is not at fault. However there are certain questions we have to ask before determining whether or the receiver bears some of the blame. First was the receiver in position to see the bad play before it happened. In this case could Cobb see that he had a defender in his face? Could he see that the ball's trajectory was relatively flat? If you answered no to either of these then we must assume that Randall Cobb is in fact legally blind and this whole conversation is moot. Assuming he is not legally blind, was he in position to realize that the incoming pass would likely be a pick? Almost certainly yes, there was sufficient time for an instinctive realization that a turnover was about to occur. Was he in position to break up the Defender's play on the ball, even if doing so would have resulted in a penalty? Since he was right behind Newman and within easy arm's reach of him, absolutely. Then the final question, did Cobb do anything to break up the interception? No he did not. Did Randall Cobb's failure negatively affect the outcome of the game, yes it did. If you want to criticize Aaron Rodgers for a poor play go ahead, Ive agreed with you. But don't act like Randall Cobb was just an innocent bystander on that poor pass. He absolutely was in a position to break it up and he didn't. BTW watch the gameday highlights from NFL.com the ex players in that commentary specifically criticize for Rodgers and Cobb for that play. Like I said in the first place if you're going to play in the NFL as a receiver you need to know when to turn into a defender, and sometimes that involves eating a penalty. [/QUOTE]
