Sacks 'n' Stuff

It’s OK to step backwards when you’re escaping pressure. It depends on where the pressure is coming from and the defenders aiming point. Pressure is coming from up the middle, do you want to slide to the side and then step up. If pressure is coming from the outside and aiming towards the quarterbacks back shoulder, want to step up and then slide to the direction that the pressure came from. If pressure is coming from the outside, but the quarterbacks front shoulder, you want to step back and then roll to the side of the pressure came from. Driving and using voice recognition. Forgive any typos.

Right. Like I said. He completed two little 4 yard passes to uncovered receivers and one other pass that was tipped and was also to an uncovered receiver and we’re going to do all these mental gymnastics to convince ourselves that he deserves to be a top two pick because of it.

I wouldn’t say he led that drive. My recollection is that Michigan took over 1st and 10 from their own 25 down by 7 with their season on the line and the coaches proceeded to call two run plays and then JJ threw one right into a defender on 3rd down that fortunately fell incomplete and then a little dink pass on a speed out in the flat to a motioning Blake Corum that he took for 30 yards. His only other completions on the drive were a tipped pass that fell into the hands of a wide open receiver and a TD pass from the 4 yard line. Saying he led the drive is just people trying to convince themselves that he did more than he ever actually did which is the whole story on this kid.

He also didn’t really master college ball. His coaches asked him to stop doing things that he wasn’t good at. Unfortunately, those are things he is going to need to do in the NFL.

If you ever want to talk flag football, hollar at your boy.

Daniels isn’t really like the KC quarterback.

All right, I’ll say this. I will be OK with us picking Jayden Daniels if he turns out to be good.

Man, JJ McCarthy really elevated Michigan.

And I like my quarterbacks to not have conjoined twins that died in the womb still attached to their elbows.

I want my quarterback to have closer to zero forced missed tackles per run.

Bunch of degenerate 20-year-olds, thinking they can beat the market with DraftKings and social media. Bookies pay some dip**** on chatsnap to hashtag “Go buy your Daniels jerseys” and watch the rubes throw away their cash. Those odds will go back down just as soon as one of my posts goes viral.

To be fair, Daniels probably would’ve caught him because Sam would’ve been on the bench watching Drake.

And up until this year, he would also take a ton of sacks under pressure. The only reason that he didn’t this year is because he was coached to run whenever he got moved off his spot, and the reason he was coached that way is because he is so bad at passing under pressure. When he tries to play the right way… The way he will have to play in the NFL, he has the talent of a late round pick. When his coaches tell him to take a shortcut because he has elite speed and is two or three years older than most of the kids on the other side of the ball who also aren’t all professional football players, he looks great.

Can we all agree that a common trait that many, If not all of the top quarterbacks in the league have is the ability to escape pressure and make throws off schedule? The guy in KC that everybody thinks is good, that’s the thing he does better than anyone and that’s the big attraction with Caleb Williams, right? And can we agree that all of the guys who can do this, demonstrated the ability to do it in college? And then can we agree that Jayden Daniels has not demonstrated the ability to do this in college?

I played poker with Cooley a few times when he was a rookie. A few years later I ended up in the tent where some players and their families go to eat post game and he remembered me and was kind enough to come say high. I was so drunk that I slurred through some recollection of how I had just won $1500 at the poker game two days earlier. He got a very confused look on his face and walked away.

Yeah, I’m afraid I would have to be out on the team if they take Daniels. After all of the **** that I’ve been talking on here? My life would be ruined and they would own 100% of the responsibility.

I can’t say I watch film like that so not sure but that example is a hell of a throw so I doubt he routinely executes passes like that one specifically. Throwing with anticipation is a standard element of the drop back passing game though. Here’s a very basic explanation that was made for kids in flag football, but it’s a pretty good visual for understanding the idea. basically, the greatest amount of separation usually happens when the receiver makes his break. You want to design a play so that a quarterback is hitting the top of his drop as his first read is making the break and the quarterback is starting his throw, but he’s not sure if he’s going to throw it yet. he doesn’t look to see if the receiver is open and then start his throw… He starts his throw and then decides if the receiver will be open. The closest analogy I can come up with is a batter in baseball who has to start his swing every pitch, but he doesn’t know if it’s going to be a ball or a strike yet and has to make that determination after he’s already started the process. if it’s not open, he will hitch to his next read who hopefully is making his break at the same time and the quarterback would then start his throw again.

Go to YouTube and search Purdy anticipation throw. This one was my favorite example.

I’ll be attending @Koolblue13’s psychedelic mushroom draft party and if we take Daniels, I’ll attribute the sudden realization of his great potential to the new pathways being opened in my brain. It’s been in the works for weeks.

That hair is glorious though.

Don’t fret me brother. Peters don’t have no plan. Peters has plans. Plural. Everything will be alright.

I hadn’t considered the possibility that this could actually happen, but I guess in a hypothetical scenario where Peters drafts Daniels on Thursday, I’d say somebody else should be making the picks on Friday.

Not exactly accurate. That was a different law but it is from the same set of laws. The age of consent in AZ is still 18 though.
