I have a question. Let's assume that JJ's DNA, or his Momma, or what he ate for breakfast, will not allow him to improve his mechanics, that his arm strength is weak and will get no better, that, unfortunately, although being a bright young man, his brain processing speed is simply slow, which really is DNA related,and that he will not be able to read defenses any better than last year. In other words, the JJ of 2009 will be the JJ of 2010 with one exception. He is coached that, no matter what happens, he must throw the ball within (those who know pick a reasonable time, 3, 4, 5 seconds). In other words he has practiced that one aspect enough that it is automatic. Within that time, he either throws it to an open receiver or he throws it away. And the coaches assure him that, in a close call, he will not be censured for throwing it away rather than trying to force it in there. (Assuming he has a weak arm, I don't think you want him to force throws, which would increase the number of interceptions.) Let's assume that this tactic is successful and JJ is sacked 50% less for 50% fewer yards. What would this one, small, and I think doable, tactic do in terms of offensive production?
Stop worrying about football and plug the well!!! :hihi: Let me rephrase for you: If JJ learned only one thing this offseason and that is to get rid of the ball when he's under pressure, how much would our offense improve. To answer your question, I would say some, but not lots. Remember you're changing mostly 3 and 4 yard losses to no gains. It will help, but it won't change the world. Now if our offensive line improves so he has more time and we can run block, then we'll be in good shape.
looks like there are some good dentists in florida. maybe thats how the drug problem with the gators began.
I can't find the stats right now for yardage lost from sacks. You may be right, but I would have thought the average loss would be much more than that... around 6-7 yards per sack. If that is the case, there is a big difference between second and sixteen or second and ten, or between third and three and third and nine...just wondering.
that david after dentist vid had me literally lol. i needed a laugh to start the morning. now what was the original post about? dna or something?
There's one very simple thing he can do to help his sack and yard loss numbers. Stop taking 10-yard deep drops in the pocket on pass plays. It becomes impossible for your tackles to hold containment for long, and by the time he starts to scramble there's too many defenders and Jefferson's too deep in the backfield.
