All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!

While going back through the game I noticed that when there are deep routes on any particular play. Trent goes through his progression well but when he picks his receiver he locks into them when he is setting up. I feel like this could be a problem with some of the better secondaries in the NFL. If he locks on to, say, Parrish before heaving it 40+ yards to him all it takes is one observant CB or Safety to jump the route.

Or maybe I'm being paranoid.
I did notice that on a couple plays, Edwards seemed to lock onto his receiver. The quick out to Parrish looked like it was nearly intercepted.
I'm not too worried at this point. The Bengals have a very good secondary, and Indy has a decent one. We'll just have to see how this offense does once the regular season comes.

Yeah. I think I'm only noticing it now because in past years he has been so bad that I noticed all of his other shortcomings first. Now it seems like a bit of a cleanup job, which I think will happen throughout the year.
Making the right reads and quick decisions has always been a struggle for Edwards.
There was a play where he rolled out and delivered a 7 yard sideline pass to Stupar. The problem was he delivered it far too late. Stupar went straight 7 yards and made a sharp break to the right, wide open. Edwards was rolling right and had no one between him and Stupar, yet held the ball an additional 2-3 seconds, allowing the S & LB to close on the play. The Bills did not make the first and punted.
He delivers that early and Stupar gets at least 12 yards and a first down. There are seveal plays every game like that for Edwards and those little delays will usually come back to bite the team.

I have always noticed a hesitation with him, but I think with the new offense being the run heavy and only-pass-when-we-need-to I think it will give him the quick trigger I think he has. He just needs to get a consistent set of blockers in front of him. When He gets a couple extra seconds in the pocket or even on a boot he doesn't know what to do. He is so used to being under pressure (or worse, on his back) I feel he wants to hold onto the ball when he can.
He definitely is staring down his receivers. There is some good news, however. The WR's are all running straight down the sidelines. They are doing crazy, wacky things, like running across the field at different angles.
I hope to hell that he can get coached out of this, because it will take about 2 Qtrs of tape to catch his weakness and begin to expose that. It will then take about 5 minutes for TE's confidence to be crushed and we will have the TE of last year back.
DISCLAIMER: THE NEXT THING I SAY IS GOING TO BE ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS
Maybe Chan knows that this happens and is letting trent do it so he coaches him out of it for the regular season and throws the Miami D for a complete loop. (Which would be awesome.)
