[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 844862"] Your stop watch looks to be right. I would debate some of the other points. Note that Flaco is in a 10 yard drop when Gary embarked upon that path, with Falco then stepping up to 8 yards. There's a lot of ground to cover. 4.2 seconds, give or take, is not a poor time to the QB in that situation after a chip. I don't see an issue with his "pass rush plan" on this play. Engaging the tackle head-on puts him in position to close off the the inside or outside escape routes and for a moment Flaco had either of those avenues open. Now, nobody should ever expect to see Gary do a Mack or Miller dip and rip, sliding under the OT's hands with a free run to the QB under the 2.0 second mark. Those don't happen all that often anyway. Gary's just not that kind of player. It bears repeating: speed-to-power is the raw material that was drafted and this play is evidence for that. Compare to Preston Smith's strip sack on a 7 yard drop. He makes an initial inside move followed by an arm-under technique to the outside eluding the block. That is some polished technique. Then again, this is a guy in his 5th. rodeo and why those second contract guys are expensive. He may have even set the tackle up for that move after a couple of rushes to the tackle's inside shoulder. Gary does not currently possess those kinds of techniques. We knew that going in. He lacks counter moves and the subleties of hand work. Recently I saw a note stating that Gary scored a 9 on the Wonderlic test. Odds are answering all the questions randomly would yield a higher score. This suggests he's not going to conceptualize technique, rather grind his way into it by repetition. For now expect quick off the snap and a dangerous bull rush like we saw on that play. Next step: arm extension to keep the tackle from getting into his body as he turns the corner. How much that torn labrum is bothering him is an open question. Another open question as to why he has not developed this technique is whether he has struggled maintaining balance and forward momentum when attempting it. That remains to be seen. [/QUOTE]
