Sean Ryan on key Darnold improvement (P-Wire's Rizzuti) & my $0.02

 IMO, this whole "happy feet" syndrome has been way overblown.

It stems mostly from Steve Smith's on-air comments, early in the last broadcast.  Maybe Smith should stick to critiquing WRs, CBs, and route running, about which he's an expert.  He's never been a QB, never thrown a pass, to my knowledge, and has never stood in any pocket, under a rush.

Try to recall the footwork of Peyton Manning.  I think that would be described as "happy feet," when in reality, it's far better than standing flat-footed.  Manning chose that method to be better prepared to launch in any direction.  I'd describe it, not as "happy feet,' but as versatile and athletic footwork.

This is a very generous observation. It was a very big issue Sam's first three years. Sammy's below the waist technique was worse in year 3 than it was in year one. Any halfway decent and capable coach should be able to improve it considering Gase et. all didn't know their a$$ from the their elbow.

Think about what you just said :

Sammy's below the waist technique was worse in year 3 than it was in year one.

What was the difference from year one to year 3?    Adam Gase came in Year 2 and then 3 and thoroughly f*cked him up.

The good news is IF Darnold has a solid year, Brady will be a hot candidate for head coach and we can bump Sean Ryan to OC to keep some familiarity for Darnold. I’m actually satisfied with most of our staff from the GM to the QB coach right now.

Gantt really pulled a quote from that article about Darnold and used it for PJ? Cmon bro do better.

Yeah he pulled it from the Ryan's presser. Still a lack of professionalism. At least know who the person is referring to before you write something on it. Being that they both work for the Panthers, it's almost unbelievable.

I agree with your statement, but using the word "athletic" to describe Peyton Manning is not a word I would use (relatively speaking, of course.)

But to your point, his body language often had the visual appearance of being panicked in the pocket, especially in reference to his feet, despite the reasons for these "happy feet" as you mentioned.

Footwork relates to it in a progression-style

A very good find.  Hopefully they will have his mechanics honed in by game day. Thanks for the article.

They're not going to fix his footwork in one off-season.

No, but they can make it better than what we saw in the beginning.

One thing I know about the huddle this place is going to be UNBEARABLE once the season starts

That’s a David Newton move geez. And he works for the team now.
