[QUOTE="Techster, post: 858960, member: 360"] Patenaude actually wasn't bad. If you go back and watch the tape, you'll see we had guys open running through the secondary. Our QBs either didn't see them, or threw bad balls. I actually thought our OL pass pro wasn't that bad...not where you want it, but not as bad as we think. If you watch the tape, you'll also see a LOT of frustrated open receivers because they knew they had their defender beat but our QB (Sims AND Yates) either didn't see them at all, or just plain threw a really bad ball. If you look at Peyton Manning's career, he really didn't have the best pass pro either...hence why he had those neck issues throughout his career. However, he knew where he was going with the ball before the snap based on where the coverage rotated, and he got the ball out of his hands accurately before the pass rush could get to him. Asking that of Sims is probably not realistic, BUT, you can minimize bad OL play by coaching up your QB. We'll see how Long does with Sims and our pass pro (and run blocking). IMO, one thing we REALLY need to do more is utilize Sims's ability to do damage with his legs. Look at the UNC game...EVERYTHING opens up for our offense when Sims is a threat running the ball.
