Bakerfield and batted balls

[BAMFpanther]

Heard somebody mention three vs. five step drops having a lot to do with it. I’d imagine that it happens more on short dropbacks as he is closer to the line. Not sure how often mcadoodoo calls 3 step drops vs 4 but it’s definitely something worth looking at.

He plays like he’s 5’11. Brees played like he was 6’2. Low arcing throws and he’s a loose gunslinger about things. He’s got the ability but is simply a bit of a sloppy type of QB. Less margin for error when you have the physical traits working against you.

He did have two. The second one was thrown from maybe 6’ above the ground. Looked like he was trying to split two defenders maybe. I hope.

Still, on a per-pass level, Mayfield's 2.46 percent passes batted down mark is the second-highest rate in the league among the 30 quarterbacks that have attempted at least 1,000 passes since 2018. The only quarterback with a higher percentage over that span is 6'5" Cam Newton at 2.56 percent.

ESPN

Cam wasn’t ever more than an average throwing QB and his mvp season was a fluke because of other top qbs being injured and cam getting constant great field position because of the defense.

Ok I've said this a million times.

 

It's the Olines job to get their hands down.

When the defender jumps you punch towards his balls. They will instinctively bring their hands down in a flinch.

Or they jump and you cut them (unless this is now illegal but it shouldn't be in the free blocking zone) that brings their hands down as well.

 

 

Exactly this, on the replays of the batted balls the offensive lineman is not even touching the dlineman and allowing them to jump freely.  I have no idea how this hasnt been corrected yet.  If the dlineman doesn't get quick pressure they are instantly preparing to bat the ball down and until the olineman start making them pay for it,  it will continue.   The team seemed to have a mean streak in the preseason and in the regular season it seems like the coaching staff has told them to lose all that energy and they are flat.
