nobody in america could have defended that pass/catch
Griffin might not have thrown that pass if Hartman hadn't been burned so badly, though.
right/ because Griffin doesn't trust Wright to come up w/ a big catch. Griffin recognized the blitz and saw man coverage on one of the best receivers in the conference so he threw it up and the Wright made an incredible catch. to blame that TD on Hartman is rough ridin' dumb.
When Wright dove to make that catch his feet were in the middle of the "E" in the endzone. Hartmans back foot was outside the endzone and he was just making his first step in. Griffin overthrew it, causing Wright to have to make an amazing diving catch. If Griffin throws that ball 3 yards shorter Wright makes the catch in the middle of the endzone jogging backwards while Hartman chases him from 4 yards behind. Griffin's overthrow and Wright's amazing catch doesn't take away the fact that Hartman still got burned.
Hartman getting burned and Griffin/Wrights pass and catch are independent of each other. Just like Hartman's shitty coverage in the Miami game where he got burned and the receiver was two yards behind him. If Harris doesn't make a shitty pass and overthrow him, we would have lost that game 31-28. Hartman still got burned and he had absolutely nothing to do with the receiver he was covering not making the catch.
Also, go watch Hartman on Baylor's 2nd TD where the guy ran down the side line. Rather than angle back to knock him out of bounds, he runs right at the receiver, ignoring the fact that there are 2 blockers between him and the receiver, and takes himself out of the play. Hartman's job is to run around, take up space, and give the illusion of safety coverage on passing plays, and to wait for a running play to try and lay a big hit if someone already has him wrapped up. If the guy is running at him, his job is to stop 2 yards short and dive at feet.
