All during camp the last few years they have tried a ****ton of activities to try and get him used to making decisions while under pressure.
Throwing medicine balls and beach balls at him while he goes through reads in practice are a couple things that immediately come to mind.
I know that Zorn is one of the best outside the box thinkers and is a damn good problem solver that has mentioned many times stuff they have tried to break him of the habit...to no avail.
Its not gonna change. Period.
While at NE, it was around his 6th or 7th game as starter and Chris Collinsworth made a big deal about it during a game. Saying that Bill Billichick talked to him personally about the specific problem (stop looking downfield as soon as a hint of pressure presents itself) and how (at the time) they were advising him to take sacks and keep going through progressions.
Here we are 4 years later and the guy still has the exact same problem.
Lets face it, no matter what anybody tries to do for this guy, he is unable to fix some of these problems and that is why he should have stayed a backup and that by this time next year, he will likely be one again.
