To be honest, when Watt or others are leaping over eight foot in air doesn't matter if the QB is 6'6 they smell blood in water.

I've noticed that when the players on opposing teams dont get through their blocks.... they stop in their tracks and just watch the QB and then jump to bat the ball. I called that out against the Giants... i found it interesting because it seemed to be coached.

Batted balls happen to every QB at some time. Josh Allen had 3 batted balls in the Ravens game. There are things both the o-line and QB can do to minimize it. One thing I noticed was that when the defensive player would stop with his hands up our blocker would also sorta' kinda' stop too with their momentum going backwards. They have to be coached to counter that; it's in the footwork. I also think all d-line coaches are emphasizing this in practice because it works and, until it doesn't work, they will continue to do so.

As far as the Saints overcoming Brees' batted balls, we all know that Payton's o-lines were always shadow holding until the refs called it the first time. They got away with it a lot.

It's even more bad Baker is making those comments which imply our coaching staff isn't already putting him through some drills to mitigate this issue. Guess they're too busy putting together more PowerPoint slides.

This wouldn’t have happened if we still had the DBO sign

It’s called elbow slot drills. The goal is to get the elbow to 45 degrees above the shoulder 6” x 6” above the shoulder. It helps with release and accuracy. Not trying to be a know it all but this is high school stuff.

I mean this plus his height and arm length.

Plus predictable short passes to the outside. Those require the ball to come in hot and low. 

it’s all a recipe for what we are seeing. 

life is easy on those defenders trying to bat what they know is coming down

      Good film breakdown of Young. Good and bad. Film examples

      How did this “innovative” narrative start with Canales? Just because he’s young? He truly wants to run the ball and nothing Tampa did last year was all that creative. Mike Evans ability to win 1 on 1 does wonders for an offense as a whole

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      Initially, I wanted Stroud but I thought the trade up meant that, whoever they chose, it was for a reason.  There was no pressure to do anything for the entire scouting team to do other than investigate every aspect of the top 3 candidates.  Stroud had his question marks, and I think it is possible that he falters this year.  Bryce had a much worse situation here in Carolina because we neglected the OL, traded our #1 WR, did not pick WRs well in the draft, traded our pro bowl RB, and seem to disregard the TE position altogether.  Bozeman was not a good fit and we relied on an improved OL in 2022 to suggest that we were set there when we were far from it.  Fitterer had no vision, no grasp of talent, and everyone in the front office and on the coaching staff were pretending to be gurus.  Our coaching staff was a group of men earning a lifetime achievement paycheck.  It all goes back to the years of neglect for the OL.  My theory?  If Stroud had come to Carolina, he would be as mocked and ridiculed as Bryce Young.   No, he does not have a cannon.  Chad Pennington was a weak-armed QB who had success and would have been even better if it were not for injuries.  Smarts is important at QB, and so are mechanics.  Before you can address Young's mechanics, he needs an OL, Running game, and weapons. We were not really able to run play action from under center for a few reasons--play action is not effective when you have to pass the ball--other than that, the QB must turn his back to the LOS for about 1.5 seconds.  When the QB has less than 2.5 seconds to pass the ball, that eliminates that part of the play book.  Heck, even the run option is minimized when there is immediate facial pressure.  SO those who want to talk about happy feet, bouncing, etc--they are symptoms of the problem, not the problem.  A weak arm?  Well, Young's arm is between Chad Pennington and Joe Montana--closer to Joe.  His are is not as weak as some think--but he has issues with the deep ball. When you are reacting to the defense and quickly have to pass, then that takes away the strength because you don't have the base to get power behind it.  I still wish we had taken Stroud, but we have Young and if you toss him out before giving him support, you are not wise, unsmart, not unfoolish, and rather elite in your failure to attain mediocrity.  Expect growth.  How much? Nobody knows.
