Is this pocket presence?

 



 

Looks like a sack safety relating to an inability to read the obvious blitz peril in pre-snap.

 

 

What a troll post, if you actually watched the play you would see that the safety (#2) moved up the LOS exactly when the ball was snapped

 

It was a great timing blitz by the safety

 

Is this serious????

 

Talk about grasping for straws

Watch the entire play lol

---

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.

---

There was no pocket

---

Actually, it's impressive that TB was still able to hold the ball (with one hand) while getting sacked and rolling on the ground.

Concepts like QB peril relating to obvious blitz situations along the goal-line are not beyond the grasp of most NFL quarterbacks. One of the qualities that elite passers have is to look at the defense and see the peril it places him under in pre-snap. 

 

The commentator even notes Bridgewater did not see the blitzer.

If you watch the entire clip you would notice that was a perfectly timed blitz, the best of the best qbs get caught by those even in the NFL

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.

Give him a break.  He did try to throw the ball away backhanded while rolling upside down.

The one time he sees NFL speed....

for every one play like that there are 100 where TB saw it and audibled to a positive play.....scouts also look at that.

If that RV sales place wants Tebow in Jax bad enough to take out a billboard saying as much.....they should just HIRE him.

The one time he sees NFL speed....

 

So it was a negative play, it must have meant it was conducted with NFL speed...

 

Stop man, your falling behind

This^^^

 

But also a defense can make great plays too

Pretty idiotic post. Every QB will get sacked. That's like holding an interception against a QB. I have seen the best of the best do the same thing. Bridgewater will get sacked in the NFL, more than once. Regardless if he steps up or not.

---

Point is... he "supposedly" has the tools to pick that up pre-snap and get the ball to his outlet, who was left wide open by the rush.

 

The only challenge to a QB of his supposed caliber should have been getting it over the reach of the rusher.

 

No nobody's perfect.  Yes, he's pretty good.  But wow... the praise and hypersensitivity to criticism of this kid has gone way over the top.

"You do your own thing in your own time. You should be proud."

Lol. I love how people try to discredit the very small flaws of his game to justify not taking him #1 despite not listing where he excels. His very small flaws are outweighed a ton by what he excels in. He's got outstanding touch, pocket presence, (and no, just because he's been sacked you can't say he has no pocket presence), short-intermediate length throws, (which is crucial in the NFL), runs a more complicated offense in College than some NFL QB's, and has average mobility. What can you take away from him? That his long-ball accuracy and touch need bit of work? Meanwhile, they are pretty average. They aren't even that bad. 

 

I remember these types when Cam Newton, Matt Ryan, and even Andrew Luck came out. 

 

It's called QB fear.

I think Bridgewater at 3 is better value than Mack at 3, yes.

I saw Tom Brady in the playoffs this year, arguably one of the best to ever play the game, do the almost the same exact thing, except he flailed away, kind of resembling Blaine Gabbert a little bit.

 

It takes a lot more than one or two plays for me to say... "Is this pocket presence?"  It makes no sense.  Call it hypersensitivity if you want, but that one play won't stop a team from drafting him high.

How could a HOF QB miss the snap. I mean he should be able to read his center is about to [BLEEP] up. Oh the horror!

 



 

Look another HOF taking a sack. Why didn't Brady step up or read the incoming blitz pre snap?

While im not part of the Teddy for MVP crowd I do like him (maybe not at #3, but I do), this video is a reach! I see every week what youre saying about Brady up here on the Boston news.

What was impressive about it was that it was one of the first plays of the game and a lot of QB's would have folded or at the least struggled for a good portion or the rest of the game. Bridgewater took the ball and dominated for the rest of that game to a point where it even seemed he was trying to pour it on. I read somewhere by Dave Caldwell or Jedd Fisch that sometimes they look for the little things like how they handle the play directly after a sack or an interception because those things happen. In this case it was a sack safety and Bridgewater made up for it more than enough not just directly after but throughout the game.
