On the other side of that, I dont understand why our receivers give up so easy when the play breaks down. I cant count how many times Rottenburger makes big plays out of nothing. I dont want Andy to throw it every time he rolls away from pressure because he will turn into an INT machine but c'mon man. You have A.J. Green Just throw the ball up for grabs and let him come down with it some times!!
The difference is that Ben's size makes him incredibly difficult to bring down, and he can still wing it even in the someone's grasp. So all of the receivers know that there is still a great chance the ball will come to them if they keep running.
Our guys know that Andy can slip out of someone's grip on occasionally, but the odds are good that the underneath guy on Andy's side of the field is the only guy who really has a shot at the ball getting to them if he is tied up in any way.
If Andy fully breaks free and the blockers can tie up the pursuit long enough for Andy to set his feet, then the guys downfield have a shot, but that second half of the equation rarely happens. Thus the receivers stop short knowing that the ball will be a dump off, throw away, or Andy will tuck it and run.
It once again goes back to protection. Keep him free to set his feet and good things happen.
