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

      I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
