Observations from a brief All-22 study

An example of a serious missed opportunity. We FINALLY call something that can exploit their defense, and Carr rushes the check down (ball out in literally under 2 seconds) despite a reasonable pocket to step into. Big hole in the middle of the field that Mike is breaking into. He only needed another second at most - step up a little bit and deliver a strike down the middle of the field to the most sure handed receiver this team has ever had. Is it the cleanest looking pocket ever? No, but it's more than fine for him to step up and deliver a strike.

I'll be honest - That doesn't show me much - And is why I don't like screen shots (no offense - thanks for the post)... In that frame - I (the QB) see the right side S squared up (not shading right and nearer to the hash than my WR) and looking dead at me... He hasn't committed... at this point you have 2 choices... Step up (hope the DT doesn't peel and crush you) - Hope the S goes outside and MT opens up down the middle, if not... Then Run like hell... Or swing this ball to the best player on your team right now... Hard to blame him for making that choice.
