Wonder how much of Pat's issues have to do with his ankle injury? Just watching that tape, he almost never steps into his deep throws, he steps out.


Overall, I feel like his clock is sped up. A couple times he seems to try and slow it down, but then he gets bumped or hit while trying to throw, and then on the next snap his clock is sped up again.

And I don't care what the analytics say, the OL play isn't good. Pat regularly has IOL walked back into him, the OTs are regularly giving up the inside or the outside; there's just not a lot of time on a lot of those snaps for Pat to get through even 2 reads. And several times he gets bumped as he's throwing, or he pulls it down because he gets bumped and then he's late.

And then you have the reps where it looks like he's predetermined where he's going with the ball, like that deep shot to JWat. Now, the tight doesn't really show what's happening outside the numbers, so we can't really see what else was available there, but it looks pretty obvious that JWat just isn't open, but Pat lets it fly anyway. And it's not a very good throw either. Or it's not a well-run route. Either way, I can't see how that was a good idea.


And the deep ball to DHop #3:10. That ball is short to the inside, but the DB is on the inside. That ball needed to be on the outside and leading DHop. But Pat gets pressure in his face so he can't step into the pass, and it ends up being short and inside. It was kind of amazing that Hopkins got his hands on it at all.
