    It seems to me that Colt doesnt often hit receivers in stride. Why is this?

    That could mean two different things.

    It could mean that most of Colt's passes are thrown to a WR who is standing still. Or that often when a WR is running, Colt doesn't lead them and that results in them having to slow down to a stop in order to make the catch.

    I don't know, but it has to be Greg Davis' fault somehow. [​IMG]

    My two cents is that he's not setting his feet when he throws. It seemed like he spent a lot of time this previous season throwing "on the run", even while inside the pocket. Hard to be accurate that way.

    There is no "in stride" when throwing a two yard out. OK, sorry... had to take the shot. [​IMG]

    Our receiver must "earn the right' to catch the ball in stride. [​IMG]

    I thought about that as well with Colt running around due to a porous line, but last year, IIRC, he was also not connecting with WRs in stride.

    Could it maybe be that defenders throw a lot of zone on us?

    I don't know, I usually dont contribute much to these kinds of threads.

    IMO don't think this was a problem in '07. When he didn't hit a receiver in stride, it was because he was running for his life or he had DL about to smash him. Let's find something else to analyze...

    I agree with the WorsterMan.

    I think Worsteer's point is made stronger by the fact that he threw so many TDs the previous year. You really don't throw that many TDs if you're not hitting guys where the ball should be. ANyway, that's an issue that MAJOR can work on, so, all in all, improvement should be the name of the game

    It seems that about half of our pass plays are designed to go to a stationary receiver. It's hard to be "in stride" when you are standing still.

    Yea, but ours are usually REALLY close to the line of scrimmage.

    Watching those highlights I can't imagine how different the season would have been if Limas hadn't got hurt. [​IMG]

    Trying not to get flattened by opposing defenses tends to throw off ones timing.

    With Major back I wouldn't be suprized if he would start hitting elligible linemen in stride for touchdown passed of 60+ yards. Yah he is that good.
