But you can almost always tell when he's moving with purpose vs. when he's just not getting comfortable.
He usually 'jutters' with his feet a little on the latter.
I saw very very little of that last night. And I saw none of those 'backward drifts' that you see when he's not feeling the pocket well.
I think just about every decision he made w/r/t pocket awareness was done with purpose. You're making a chicken/egg argument here. Yes, he succeeded when he was tall in the pocket. But then again, he had throwing lanes. Why are you presuming he had those when he was moving? Isn't it equally likely that he simply didn't have those lanes, tried to move to create them and then found himself stymied by the BB bracket concept?
I think you're identifying the symptom just fine - I think you're simply mis-diagnosing the disease.
