Go back and watch the Mac interception. Gesecki keeps on running to the back of the endzone. Hunter Henry keep on running out of bounds. JuJu stops and watches.
Blackmon is on the ground for a good 2 seconds, absolutely astonished nobody has come over to touch him down.
The first player there to touch him, 10 yards downfield, on a passing play, is an offensive linemen.
The team has quit on Mac Jones.
Glad to take you up on that offer. Here’s the clip.
Skill guys on the play are Zeke, Gesicki, Henry, JuJu, and Pop.
When Blackmon gets up, Henry is moving TOWARDS him, not out of bounds. He doesn’t charge because he’s trying to contain Blackmon and prevent a big return; in fact, he helps finish the tackle. Zeke is also right at the ball carrier, and JuJu is in frame too. (Pop was lined up far left so wasn’t in position to be anywhere close.)
In the second angle of the play. Gesicki doesn’t “keep on running”; he slows down, sees that Blackmon is still down, then goes to chase him once the safety gets up.
I get that we’ve agreed Mac isn’t the guy. I get that he doesn’t give the Pats the best chance to win. But what you’ve stated just isn’t so, and there’s no evidence the team has “quit” on him.
