Quote:Re-watch the WAS game.  Seriously.  I have it DVR'd so I have (although I FF through the parts where WAS has the ball) some parts in slow motion.  You'll see him time and again spinning his head going through his possessions.  He called audibles a few times too although I wasn't specifically looking at those instances.  He changed coverages a number of times.  He did what he was supposed to.  I have never seen a QB get that kind of rush heat in recent memory.

 

While I agree with this - he definitely could have called a quick pass or screen a few more times when they were stacking 8 in the box with a run play called.  They tried to run in too many of those situations. 

 

He rarely had time to look off a safety,  and he made some progressions but he did also stare his first guy down a few times. That's what I took away from rewatching it anyway.  There was plenty he could have done better -  but the line made it really, really difficult.  The receivers didn't help either based on Bradley saying he counted 20 mental errors on their part and the drops we all saw.
