So what's up with the batted balls?

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

    • Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.  
    • I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
    • I hate Marchand, but if he became a free agent.....
