I think that the ball barely crossed the plane of the goal-line before Taylor dropped it, but that isn't the point ...... players who have been eating, breathing, and sleeping football since they were in 5th grade are doing this shit at the highest level of the sport, and they deserve to ravaged about it for not learning from the more than one hundred times that it's happened since around the mid-1990's in both college and pro football. It probably happened a lot before then, but the refs didn't start calling it and reviewing it on a regular basis via a replay until about 25 or 30 years ago.

Even minus that play I’m not really a JT fan. I prefer complete RBs. My all time favorite player is Edge. JT to me is simply a luxury RB. He may maximize the holes the lines gives him but he doesn’t create yardage when none is there, he’s not a power runner at the LOS, he can’t block, and can’t catch. He’s one dimensional. Ap is calling out ARs lack of improvement from yr 1 to yr 2 (which is valid), but I’d love to hear where the apparently great JT has improved. He’s got major holes in his game and I’ve seen zero improvement.
