[QUOTE="Techster, post: 31379, member: 360"] Yup guys with big arms tend to "trust" it more, and it will get them in trouble sometimes. We saw that with Vad in quite a few instances. Vad had a good arm, probably well above average for the college level, but not as big of an arm as he thought on some of the throws he made. JT had a little of it as well. The out route he threw against Miami was evidence of it. The more JT plays, the more he'll understand the speed of the DBs on this level and how his arm strength compares to their ability to break on the ball. That's just experience. What JT will stress more compared to Vad is the decision making of the DB on the perimeter. With JT, especially on rollouts, the DBs will have to honor his speed on the edges putting more stress on reading the play. If the DB chooses to support the run because JT is out of the box, he better make the right read because a bad read could let the receiver a few steps behind him. If the DB chooses to play the receiver, it gives JT a bigger gap on the second level. I'll take my odds with JT on the second level. It will definitely be interesting to see how CPJ schemes to put stress on the defense with JT's speed in mind. He's got a totally different dimension at an X spot (since most defenses don't account for the QB). Might we see the quadruple option?! [/QUOTE]
