[QUOTE="Peat, post: 717142, member: 42330"] [media=youtube]bPYeFpDtXDs[/media] Notice that Henshaw is able to start accelerating before Goode is, and due to his starting position, is able to approach the ball at a quicker pace. Notice that Goode is having to watch and judge a ball going over his head and coming down over his shoulder, while Henshaw is able to run onto it. The scenario completely favours the attacker. If both players are equal in the air, I'm expecting the attacker to get that more often that not, and I don't think Mike Brown is sufficiently better in the air than Henshaw. Maybe Brown would have dropped quicker from his 2 on 2 defensive position. Maybe he would have somehow legally managed to bundle an airborne player into touch. But I am dubious. In any case, we will never know. And blaming Goode for what happens in that video is rather harsh. Now, I like being harsh, so I'm happy to blame him, but I am aware I'm being quite harsh in doing so. And saying he should be outjumping Henshaw just because he was wearing 12 that day and not 15? That's not harsh, that's just very misinformed. [/QUOTE]
