Dan III Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Losman Scrambles, Throws to Parrish Touchdown 397409[/snapback] Great stuff as always, Astro. The JP scramble TD toss is to Evans, there is a great clip of it(opposite side of the field) on bb.com. Keep up the great work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 What's he doing scrambling?! He was under no pressure at all! 397413[/snapback] If you are being sarcastic, Dan, I apologize in advance for taking you seriously... I was wondering the same thing, but then I thought: a. perhaps the drill calls for JP only to stand in the pocket for a certain count, in order to approximate game conditions. b. perhaps the team thinks it is not a bad thing for the receivers and QB to practice what it means to break off their routes and come back to the QB when he has to scramble. Am I over-analyzing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChevyVanMiller Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Just want to thank you Astro for the great video. I've been pulling them up at work today and have had a steady stream of people at my desk oohing and aahing. Thanks again for bringing camp to Wallers much better than the evening news does.

VABills Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 What's he doing scrambling?! He was under no pressure at all! 397413[/snapback] You know of the 7-7 drills I have seen he has been pretty solid with the feet. This was the first one where he was back there dancing a little. And for those of you wondering he is dancing. It is even more pronounced in the 11-11 drills. Please pay attention anyone at camp. He just doesn't look comfortable at all in the pocket.

I was a little surprised by it at first as well but now it makes sense to me. I noticed a little skiddishness though myself, but moreso early on in the sessions I saw.

He just doesn't look comfortable at all in the pocket. 397437[/snapback] I think we must be cursed. We had a QB who never left the pocket for the last three years, and the Wall jumped all over him for being a statue. Now we have a QB who likes to leave the pocket and throw on the run, and the Wall jumps all over him. At camp, the worst I can say about Losman is that he is inconsistent. Now remember everyone, this is still the first week of camp, it'll take him awhile to get into the groove. But what I can say is that I saw a steady improvement in him with each practice...that should be enough to comfort most people around here that he'll be ready to roll against the Texans.

He's also the exception to the rule. The play that concerns me is the buttonhook in the 7-on-7 where he basically would have ended up stuck in the center's ass by the time he released the ball. I agree that we need to see JP in a game and also think that it's likely he will do some "Bledsoe" stupid things this season. It's going to be part of the process and it'll likely take into his third season until the game slows down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kota Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 What's he doing scrambling?! He was under no pressure at all! 397413[/snapback] everyone was covered so he scrambles to force the WR's to react to him which throws off the DB's. Notice how quick the WR's were to change routes? This is encouraging. On Sirius this morning JP said himself he is looking to throw first. Pat Kirwan and Vic Carruchi both said that if JP learns to scramble and look to throw first then he will be successful. They mentioned that Big Ben did this alot and was looking downfield. Plaxico Burress said that the WR's reacted well to Big Ben when he did this. They asked MM if he was trying to drill it into JP's head about throw first and run 2nd. MM said he isn't going to force him to do this. He said in camp JP has done both. It is in his hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eSJayDee Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 What's he doing scrambling?! He was under no pressure at all! I think it's to simulate a game situation, working on the internal clock. They're down at the 5. He's basically got 2 or 3 seconds to get the prescribed play off. When that fails, the progression should be 1 of 2 things. 1) Roll out of the pocket, effectively 'breaking down' the play allowing receivers time to break free or if that fails, run it himself. or 2) Stay where you are in the pocket and PAT PAT PAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrobot Posted August 3, 2005 Author Share Posted August 3, 2005 I did see the "happy feet" at times, yesterday and today after one of you mentioned it. I have to agree with the poster that likened it to a boxer. I have a feeling on the scramble that this was either (a) something the coaches wanted to practice or (b) JP moving to get a LB out of the way.

So basically, I agree with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
