    We all know he's lost weight during the offseason. Surely, that will improve his scrambling ability. Does he gain a lot of yardage? I think he stays in the pocket more than anything.

    We can't afford a quarterback injury, we're too thin. I don't see Les risking Lee for a few rushing yards. If he scrambles it's to stay out of trouble and get rid of the ball.

    Yeah that's kind of what I meant. I don't expect any called running plays for Lee, just wondering if he'll stay in the pocket since he's probably got better mobility now.

    I think lee gets the ball out faster than jj did. I would hope that our offensive line gives him time to throw and that krag has a safety valve dump off man for lee. Short quick passes can help lee not have to scramble. I really think that the tigers go out and try to throw the ball some.

    Hopefully he won't get his jersey dirty and won't have to scramble at all. I don't see him taking off at all. He'll either take the sack or throw it away.

    Agreed.

    If Lee finishes with +15-20 yards rushing, it'll mean he stayed upright and the line did it's job.
