DJ makes no decisions after the snap.

Nov 8, 2022, 7:01 AM

He had a couple games where the coaches turn him loose a bit to read a DE and he was 50/50 on making the correct call. They took that from him. He still can't hit a target moving laterally, across the field so any pass called to the middle is to a stationary target.

DJ has returned to early season form and stares his primary receiver down after the ball is snapped. Everyone in the nation sees this including the coaches and players we see each weekend. Every DE or safety in the nation knows they can determine where a pass is going as soon as the ball is snapped. That makes it near impossible for our receivers to 'get loose.' Note the many times DJ has thrown into coverage, that's telling because he doesn't choose to throw into coverage, it's just what the play calls for.

He is not going to improve, this is the latter part of his second season as the starter and nothing has changed from the beginning of his first season other than him being a tiny bit faster. His feel are still boat anchors and his first step is like mine. The difference is that I'm 70 years old and overweight. Another difference is that if I lost 35 lbs my first step would be quicker than it is now.

The perfect read is when a QB knows where all his receiver are suppose to be and actually looks at other than his primary to find a was to complete a pass.

Dabo said 'He's waiting for his receiver to get open...' You can't wait six seconds on one of four receivers. If the guy is covered you check the practiced location of others to make the play count. Dabo, by his own words, told us plainly what DJ's problem is.

I'm sorry for being so harsh.
