What can Jimmy do about the batted balls?

Saints' defender said Clausen's long windup helped them get hands up.

That's one. And if the O-Line wouldn't collpase like a bunch of girls, that's another. Anything else? Some of them hurt us today. If he can work on that, I think he'll be fine.

Oh, and Jimmy, buddy...run for that first down next time! Yes, getting hit is going to hurt bad, but you're THE man here now. Take one for the team.

I was hoping that's what Brees was telling him after the game when they got together to talk!

Brees is like 4 foot 5 inches, but doesn't have many balls batted down. He recognizes the throwing lane & creates them by shifting (with or without moving laterally).

If Clausen recognizes this & has a coach to hep him work on it, he will be fine. Brees had this problem when he was with San Diego, but seems to be doing "a little better" now! If Clausen can do what Brees is doing we would be thrilled!

      AI Analysis on ideal round to draft certain positions.

      By strato · Posted

      Too much to ask picking in the middle of the third round. Unless you are historically lucky. Hell you need luck in the 1st to get that.    The devaluation of the position is hard for me to understand when I look at the difference great MLBs have made to defenses over the years.  Defense needs a good QB too. MLB is the QB of the defense.

      Deep Ball in Cyclical Decline

      By NAS · Posted

      Across the league.  5 straight years of decline. Deep pass attempts have fallen to just 7.7 per game in 2024, down from that 2019 peak. Air yards per attempt are at 7.7 yards this year—the lowest in over a decade. Overall passing yards per game have tanked too, from 496 in 2020’s early weeks to a  403 in 2024.    This trend is a result of defenses playing with two-high safety schemes designed to prevent deep passes, forcing offenses to seek yards after the catch on shorter throws.  Two-high safety calls are everywhere now—up from 44% of dropbacks in 2019 to 63% in 2024—forcing QBs to take shorter throws instead of risking picks on bombs. Add in more presnap disguises, faster pass rushes (QB pressure up to 30.1% of dropbacks), and lighter, quicker D-linemen, and it’s a nightmare for deep shots.    Offenses have adapted with emphasizing power run games to counter deep coverage and fast but leaner pass rushers.  Rushing attempts per game are up to 27.9 per game average with top teams significantly in the 30+ attempts.  QBs are emphasizing more short and intermediate throws so that the few deep passes they attempt have a higher completion percentage overall than in years past.    So to everyone who is frustrated with lack of deep passing, it’s all cyclical and right now emphasis on the run and taking more calculated shots is the way to go.
