Quote:LOL Pocket presence is about feeling the pressure around you and stepping up or to the side to avoid it keeping your eyes downfield. It has nothing to do with a free rusher getting pressure like that.

In general terms pocket presence ties directly into not having field awareness. Bridgewater failed to understand his situation, as to do that, it required an understanding of QB peril. 

 

A quarterback has to fully understand every single defender across the field. He has to fully understand what each defender is doing and what to expect his role is going to be. Remember the QB knows what the play is. It's up to him to read the defense and process what he sees against the play called.

 

Not seeing the blitzer, is a significant finding for any NFL scout.
