Not talking about holmes or LT or any one on the team, I am referring to sanchez using some new tools that only the "veteran" QBs really utilize well. 1. The pump fake - when have you seen this kid pump fake so well like he has this season? He is fooling tons of guys this season and its fooling the fuck out of defenders. I know they think he is a sophomore QB but they are honoring his fake and it actually freezes the safeties deep sometimes. 2. The look off - Yeah, remember last year when he was staring down receivers? He still does it but he is also looking away from he target and pulling it back to throw the pass. This is destroying some secondaries because they are not expecting him to do this so well. He has been doing this much more in the recent games. 3. Iron Will - You might have a better name than what I gave it but when a quarterback is about to get sacked and they have the "will" to escape it and then actually escape... thats a mentality. He always had the skill set to do it in terms of speed and quickness (for a QB) but know he is using the mentality aspect to escape tough situations. These are some of the weapons the greats use that sanchez is using alot more and I am proud to see the progress.
1.) His best pump fake was against the Colts in the AFCC game. 2.) Agree, he is using his progressions a lot more. 3.) Certainly he is clutch. We all saw a lot of promise last year when he played his best football in the playoffs. Now it is confirmed, Sanchez comes up big in big spots.
It's actually addition by subtraction with Sanchez: he took away the toilet paper tube that he was using to view the field and go through his progressions last year. He looked like me trying to use that stupid Madden QB vision laser sight from Madden 08 or whenever it was.
I'd really like to see Keller catch a few balls tomorrow night. That would give Belidouche something else to Have to game plan against.
Teams are already game planning to keep Keller out of the game. The problem is we have so many other weapons and Nacho is taking advantage of what they aren't paying attention to.
Having Ladanian helps as well. Last season there wasn't anyone reliable to check down to. Sanchez is using LT as that scapegoat to gain positive yardage. One thing I noticed though is that Sanchez has the tendancy to really zip the ball at LT when LT has some space. Mark gets over-excited and overthrows. Hope he can fix that and become even better. I must say that Shonn Greene has improved his pass catching abilities. He's not great but has gotten better.
lol the cone...he has a medium sized cone now, instead of that ice cream cone like one he had last year.
Teams may start to double Holmes and Edwards, and stop the concentration on Keller. either way, mismatches should be there for Mark to exploit.
He's been using a pump fake since his first pass to Clowney in the preseason of 09. The other two are a QB who has worked his ass off to be great. The Jets have never had a QB this good this early in his career.
Keller has dominated the Pats. No matter what happens vs the Bengals, he won't be sneaking up on Bellidick and the pats
