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.

lots of context missing here- What down is this?

very hard to say much of anything off still....but what i do see is Kamara within 1 yd of LOS with no one within 10 yards of him.

Moreover, that line is collapsing and looks like DT already in a stunt move, meaning that pocket you have circled, aint dere in the next few slides.

The issue, as you pointed out in op- isnt so much design, its WHEN the play is called within the context of the game, our drive, down and distance, side of field etc etc. Add to that, PC tendencies are figured out by not only fans, but DCs too.
