On the first throw of that drive, which was his best, Daniels looked locked into that throw from the start. That throw was on the money, but the receiver got pushed by the defender just before the ball got there. He still could of, should of, caught it, but it was pretty clear interference. The second pass, Daniels also looked locked in, and the ball sailed way over the receiver -- not close, bad pass. On the third, Daniels failed to step up in the pocket and/or otherwise escape. He had a pretty clear exit path that Lamar Jackson would have turned into a first down, but Daniels just seemed to concede the play and take the sack. On 4th down, Daniel seemed to be working the progression, but he again threw way high.
TT mentioned it in his presser, so hopefully he does something about it, but throwing accuracy was a real issue. Too many balls just seemed 'hucked up there' for this level of football. Watching the USC LSU game last night, the difference was glaring.
