[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 678692"] I see these guys borrowed my phrase "stuck in his own head". For me it's a possibility; for these guys it seems to be a certainty. But if you want to pick out a play to illustrate "stuckness" this would not be it. On this play, Rodgers has his feet set left and he's looking left for the first read(s) in the progression. He appears to be spot checking Davis before he clears, but the set is to go left. More likely he's not looking so much at Davis as whether Davis has frozen the ILB or taken him out entirely from the center crossing target zone. Davis may not even be in the progression, serving only to take the ILB out of the play. Please, please note that the two receivers (who are first in the progression) are crossing inside stacked 5 yards apart. In case anybody is not aware, a 5 yard stack that far down the field is messed up. That's bad field spacing; it invites the convergence of multiple defenders to the ball where many bad things can happen. Since it would be impossible to believe those stacked routes were by design, we must conclude the options the 2 receivers chose were not complementary, to put it politely. Now get out your stop watch and see where this play is at 2.0 seconds. Rodgers is having guys pushed back in his face. He may have glanced Davis after he went off that hot mess on the left side, but didn't have the passing lane, wanted to avoid having his arm hit or bouncing his passing hand off somebody's helmet, and/or reckoned he'd get out while the getting is good since the prospects at 2.5 seconds were not favorable. I've been noticing a similar phenomenon over the past couple of years. While the O-Line often provides a clean pocket, it's often a small pocket. That is not helpful. Neither is screwed up route running. [/QUOTE]
