This is exactly what some of us have been screaming about. He has to step up in the pocket, you cant drop back into oblivion like this is Madden, not even a pair of all pro OTs could keep him upright when he does this.  Easy sacks for the D and its 100% on Young.

100%. He has a huge hole right here to step up in or just the off. Thats a learning curve college vs NFL thing IMO.

1. this is week 16 and he should know by now you have to step up when the pocket is that large

 

or

2.  Slightly defending him here, again its week 16 in a poo season and maybe he is just thinking I just dont want to get hit any more and just need to get this season over before something bad happens

 

Going off the last 2 weeks of the season I am going with #2

Could be either. I’d say that having a shaky OL most of the year creates bad habits and bad footwork. Regardless he needs to get better here.

That hitch thing is what I saw right off. (I called it a skip step, but it is more an extra move).

When the lesser velocity of his ball is added to whatever slight delay that hitch triggers, you could be looking at measurable additional time for the ball to be at the target. Just a split second makes a difference at that level. 

That’s what he has to somehow resolve. By just great timing and anticipation, in the best case. But worse case, you have those balls slightly behind, they get defended or picked just by giving defenders that margin.

That was my issue all along. There are plenty of things he can do well and, especially, the more open the targets can get the more margin he can use. It is just, harder for that guy than it would be for the same guy in a proto body.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
