He did have a clean pocket for a lot of the 63% of the time he was operating with a clean pocket.
And in those times he was very good.
176 out of two 46 of two 46, you know, 1700 yards, nine touchdowns.
When he was pressured, which was 37% of the time, that's when things start to dip.
He was 40 of 93, which is only 43%.
He did still have six touchdowns to two interceptions when pressured.
I thought he did pretty well against the Blitz.
Um, I, I think as long, and that did get better as it went on.
Right.
I think starting with, uh, the Eagles games, I think the sec, uh, actually start, I would say starting with the Broncos game into that second Eagles game is where we really started to see him start to use his cadence to his advantage and identify blitzers before they came and figure out exactly where he wanted to throw based on that blitz.
Um, but nevertheless, those are pressure situations.
So even, and, and against the blitz, he was 64%.
So certainly not bad.
Without a doubt, just to wrap up the taking sacks portion of this, I do think that, you know, especially based on the list of names that he's sort of grouped with, the players that the quarterbacks that operate off script very, very well, I think are always going to be towards the top of this list.
It's just a matter of getting closer numbers wise to the group of guys that he's with instead of being such a far outlier from there.
It was not good.
Yeah, it's it wasn't a huge part of his game in college was, you know, was not taking snaps under center and play actioning and then and then, you know, turning back around and hitting somebody over the middle.
There's just not part of that.
In fact, he didn't even take many snaps from under center at college.
He struggled with that at the Senior Bowl.
