Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into NFL stats lately, and the whole Joe Mixon fumble situation has been bugging me. I needed to see it for myself, over and over, to really understand what happened. Here’s how I went about it.
First, I fired up my computer. I knew I couldn’t just rely on memory – I needed the video evidence.
Digging for the Footage
I started with a simple search. I figured there would be tons of clips floating around online. My go-to was, and I typed in something like “Joe Mixon fumble [specific game/date]”.
- I scrolled through a bunch of results. Some were just highlight reels, others were news articles. I wanted the raw footage, the unedited play.
- I finally found a few promising videos. I clicked on a couple, watched them through. Some were low quality, some had annoying commentary – I kept searching.
Analyzing the Play
Once I found a good, clear video, I started breaking it down. This is what I really wanted to do.
- I watched the play at normal speed, just to get the overall feel.
- Then, I slowed it down. Most video players have that option, you know, the 0.5x or 0.25x speed.
- I focused on Mixon’s hands, his grip on the ball. I wanted to see exactly when and how he lost control.
- I rewound it multiple times, watching different angles if the video had them. I was like a detective, looking for clues.
- I even watched the body language to see if I could see any change.
My Takeaway (So Far)
After doing all this, I’ve got a much better sense of what happened. It looks like.
