Justin Herbert Was Missing ONE Thing in His Loss - QB Breakdown with Chase Daniel

[@dhyatt52]

Everyone talking smack about Herbie but no one talking about NO RUN GAME, D knew they were going pass cause they couldn’t run at all. This was the real reason they locked onto Herbie. Ladd was good but all other receivers were garbage.

[@mikegeee3319]

Well he needs to be a threat to run for it to be effective. We don't have a overpowering OL

[@timjoseph4085]

Herbert not using his legs at all was infuriating. There probably wasn’t a chance in most cases, but not even trying to make plays outside of the pocket was insane. It is a recipe for disaster when rushers can just pin their ears back and now there is a statue in the pocket. Also, not QB sneaking when it was 3rd and one is disappointing when you have the biggest qb in the league. Obviously the team performed poorly on offense, but Herbert could have made himself a threat to put let pressure off of everyone else.

[@Tincan53]

Those were my thoughts as well. He didn’t run for a single yard when he is capable of chewing up yards like he did against the Raiders. It was insane not to have him roll out and make the decision to pass or run depending on what the defense gave him. Maybe it’s time to let Herbie start calling his own plays.

[@ajinsato9389]

The pocket collapsed too fast to even run.

[@Itsreload]

I still blame the OC for this. The pocket is messy. If he gets in the habit of pulling down the ball before the play develops, it will be bad. All season I don't recall plays where they intentionally rolled out the QB to give him an option to RUN. I don't remember once where they intentionally did that. One of the picks was him rolling RIGHT and Throwing Left. If that was designed, that is ridiculous. Also he's always been a PASS first QB. That PAIRED with Long developing plays with was the result we got. When he takes off the READs were quick. That PAIRED with Long developing plays was the result we got.

[@rickpeterson8825]

Are you nuts, dude? I was with u 100% till you said " Herbert could've run more ( still with ya) to take the pressure "OFF EVERYONE ELSE" ( no longer with) 12 drops bro, 12 !!! And that line got destroyed, even Alt, but how about TAKE SOME PRESSURE OFF YOUR QB!!??😂😂😂😂

[@hirolla74]

Herb not using his legs was a dissapointment. Didn't Lamar with Roman run a lot? If you know your IOL is ass, roll Herb to the side and either throw or run. I knew the Texans D was in full force but damn, they just manhandled everyone NOT named Alt or Slater. Shorter routes would have been great too; dink and dunk. Derius Davis not involved throughout; should have been because QJ was missing.

[@raulmontalvoiii]

Chase, what do you think about Greg Roman and his lack of creative passing schemes?

[@d619r2]

Kudos to you, chase. Dont let those 3 on the facility bully you. You stuck to your guns and ate up all that "homeboy take" crap they tried to give you. Double down as I will as well and make sure it's thrown in their faces next season. Shady don't talk about how his homeboy mahomes had a similar game in terms of pressure and didn't do anything with it either. Keep up the great work!

[@dylancnguyen]

It was like 30 yards through the air and 50+ YAC calm down there

[@soma27]

Also I get that the throw to Ladd was high on the pick 6, and great job showing how he has to double clutch, but it has to be noted that it went right through Ladds hands. And not like fingertips or super high on the hands, like right between the meat of both hands. That has to either be caught or knocked down.

[@dizzydwarf502]

Has anyone else noticed this season that we've only played well against bad teams? We only beat 2 teams with winning record teams and one of them was barely 9-8 so only had a winning record due to the extra game added in recent years. When I was looking at the playoff bracket we got the only team I felt we even had a chance to win against in game 1, and they destroyed us. Our offense was flat, the O-Line was not doing great, which was not what it was the rest of the season, our running game wasn't even tried much, and even those quick passes that Herbert has relied on his entire career, and this season was no different, wasn't used much. The offense felt like it was put on Herbert's shoulders, which was not how we played all season. That being said, overall Herbert didn't play terrible, but he definitely did not play well enough to win a playoff game. And no, not all those INTs where on Herbert. We beat Denver (who was 10-7) and Cin (9-8). All our other wins were vs basement teams with 5 or less wins, except Atl who was 8-9. If we can only beat shitty teams, we don't belong in the playoffs, and it showed heavily vs Hou. Our offense is just not ready for good teams yet. This is nearly the same result as our last playoff appearance vs Jac, except in that game our defense scored more points than they did this game, while our offense fell flat in both games. Why we went completely off our entire season play style is beyond me. The first half we dominated on defense and special teams until the last 4 mins. Yet, our offense was not taking advantage of our constantly great field position. It was the same vs Jac couple years ago, Def and ST dominated first half until the last drive, while offense just wasn't capitalizing, same thing this game. Yes "Defense wins championships" but you still need your offense to do something to win in the playoffs.

Chase, do you know if Justin is able to change the protection call in Roman’s offense?

[@jimmyvollman7596]

Chase, on the first pick, why didn't Herbo throw it away toward Ladd on the play side? He was running toward the corner on the right, Herbert was running right, just throw it away in the direction you're going.

[@JustMabie]

Its worth noting Herbert is on his 4th OC in 5 years, and 3rd HC, and all his favorite targets were take away from him. What other current Franchise QB has had to deal with that?

[@jasonpacific111]

Thank you Chase. I think we have to realize OC Roman's game calling was bland and constipated. We need an OC as talented and inventive as DC Minter.

[@whyme8068]

They had a short week. They couldn't practice correctly due to the fires and I'm sure they didn't get enough sleep. Guys playing with injuries because we have no depth.

[@throwthe9route92]

16:30 - thank you saying the last interception was not on Justin. A lot of people said Justin underthrew QJ. Did QJ run the wrong route?

[@damonm8916]

@Chasedanielshow how do you reply to the critics hammering JH#10 so hard? It's like they don't want to give him credit for how much he HAS been doing for the last 5y. His arm and legs (aside from the TX game) has been keeping this team with more wins than they've "deserved" since he came into the league. I've pointed out to some that Peyton was 0-3 his first playoff appearances, including a 41-0 blowout by the Jets. (I think he ended up doing "ok", in the end. :) ).

[@dinar.3178]

What went wrong was drafting Quentin Johnson in the first round of the 2023 draft. Look! I don't wish bad upon players, but honestly, he can't contest a catch. It's apparent in most plays with the exception of week 18. Yes, I know, there is more work to be done for the team as a whole. But I'm sure most fans would agree, we should have been higher in this season's standings (11-6) if we had a legit WR1/2 receiver.

[@MikaeIe90]

He really struggles with getting separation.

[@deppsterdeppe725]

Herb is being crucified from all sides after this loss and the pulimg on is vicious. This is exactly the same defamation Peyton Manning went thru in his first years. Breaks nearly every record in the book, but went 0-3 in his first playoff games. looks the part, Cant win in playoffs, Cant lead, not clutch,loser,bla bla bla. The parallels with Herbert are uncanny. They said same exact shit about Manning and we know how that played out....Harbaigh will build a solid OL,receivers and a legit run game and Herb will shut em all up. Bank

[@2008israelramos]

Hortiz did a great job but he didn't really addres the interior O-line other than bringing in a mediocre center. That was our weakest link and affected our offense to the point where we couldn't really run it or protect against good defenses.

[@ThepowderbluesForum]

Not 1 carry. Not one scramble. 9 of our wins this year he ran at least 4 times. 5 of our losses 3 or less runs. Was he hurt? Was Roman just that shitty calling plays? Seriously just so confused.

[@samuelpreciado1336]

Replace the guards; so horrible and QJ needs to take that CB down before the INT. This game would’ve gone differently

[@megan77416]

I’ve never been less worried about a player bouncing back and having plenty of future playoff wins

[@ChaseDanielShow]

Facts

[@whyme8068]

8:10 I disagree that pass was something Herbert shouldn't do. He's made that pass many times before with success.

[@joshlugo5629]

the break between ladd and qj took too long and safety was allowed to sit and not commit to one until the ball was thrown, if either there was better protection or if ladd and qj broke their route quicker this would have been an easier throw....instead if herbert throwing it more upfield he had to throw it more sideline which is a lot harder

[@brickwall217]

Harbaugh said that play should've been run from left hash rather than right hash. Increased Herberts thowing angle across field, also allowed Lassiter time to catch up, make int.

[@sethhornbaker2216]

Unless or until the NFL changes the QB protection rules, the best teams will have quarterbacks who have good mobility and know how to use these rules to their advantage. Pure pocket passers put their teams at a disadvantage with the current rules. If a quarterback poses no threat to run, the defense has an extra available defender in pass coverage. A pocket passer must have Tom Brady skills to make up for this.

[@historyguy5942]

There are two things that Herbert not only "missed" in the playoff game but the entire season as well. (1) A good Offensive line to provide him anything close to adequate protection (2) Receivers other than McConkey who can catch the ball. Additionally, the responsibility for this loss has to largely be placed on the shoulders of Greg Roman's terrible offensive play calling.

[@culprit1985]

So many of these plays turbo has a clear path to get max yards on running up field. They seem to be trying to make Herbert a pocket qb , in my opinion that is not where he is at his best. I have seen him make more amazing throws on the run than I have seen him do from the pocket. We didn't have the inside line for Herbert to stay in the pocket. Too much open field to run on much of this

[@culprit1985]

I think he wasn't capable of running.

[@loislane4583]

Im a big Herbert person... but to be honest, that was his worst game probably ever that hes played in maybe since his High School days, or maybe further back in pee wee football... He single handedly lost that game. All on him. The way he played it looked like it was his first game ever playing QB. Just terrible. Having said all of that, he will learn from this and next season be even better than his regular regular season of this year was.

[@themoderndaygamer637]

Herbert is elite. Herberts talent around him (skill guys) is not even average. Outside of Ladd. You can't win games when you have 1 option, no run game. And honestly bad play calling.

[@chalupacabrafx]

He has no interrior blocking, absolutely terrible. Not to mention none of our WR can get open besided Ladd. We need more weapons more protection..

[@chaneystcgstore4692]

If he would have rushed for say 40 yards and this still happened I wouldn't be nearly upset. I realize the Texas D has made a lot of QBs look really bad this year but I need to see him leave it all out on the field. I get that he's got great arm talent and can make tight window throws but you're playing an all pro CB.. Writing off the possibility of the CB making insane plays is just bad decision making.

[@brendonn1997]

Herbo will bounce back, fix the interior o line and get some more weapons to pair with Ladd McConkey. boltup⚡

[@skaybaltimore]

Yes. Justin Herbert WAS missing ONE thing in his loss -- a competent offensive coordinator who knows how to design competent offensive schemes! BELIEVE ME...Ravens fans were so sick and tired of Greg Roman it occupied all of the comment sections for years. It's NOT going to get better. Wait for the: "Oh, it's okay...Greg has plays in his box of plays he hasn't shown yet". Reality? Every once in a while he'd roll out a cool design, like the Triple Heisman design. Only to NEVER BE SEEN AGAIN! We call them the Greg Roman Houdini Plays. You see them once, then they disappear. It's never going to change.

[@jordanbush9395]

I love Herbert but he needs to use his legs more. I know he trust his arms but he needs to be mor mobile. On the deep ball his release is to shallow, needs more airtime. We got this next year ⚡️⚡️

[@jal2550]

Herbo was getting mauled by 3 defensive lineman going up against 5! The Oline was HORRIFYING this game. What can herbert do? You can't run worth a damn, your under pressure on every play, and you only have 1 viable option at reciever. Yes, it was absolutley not his best game (how bout scrambling ONCE!), but this team is just not very good yet.

[@soma27]

It needs to be talked about more how little help Johnston is. It sucks because he seems like a really good dude, but he is the worst contested catch wr I’ve ever seen. He outsized that db significantly on the first pick. How can you not at least knock it down? Yes, you can say Herbert shouldn’t have made that throw, but a lot of QBs give their big guys chances in 1v1 situations like that. Any decent wr and it’s a knock down at worst.

[@hb8357]

This game was two fold. Oline played the worst than all year and multiple drops be the wr’s . Have to address the Oline, a veteran WR, and a top TE.
