Agree AJ was to quick to throw it away when he had a lot more time in the pocket than Coker does
AJ saved us from a lot of sacks. Coker refused to throw it away when was 5 yards from the sideline and too a 5 yard sack.

Coker usually does fine either throwing it away or getting back or past the line of scrimmage. Really a non-issue besides that play yesterday where he was trying to square up to hit a WR who was wide open across his shoulder, and didn't feel the defender coming fr the other way.

Jake does seem to lack the ability to feel the rush, much like McElroy, but he's also shown some of the grit Greg had by making plays when he had to. I just think things haven't slowed down for him as quickly as the coaches had hoped, although I think he's improving.

The one thing that's had me yelling at the TV most - get the friggin plays in to him! Every game you'd see him looking at the sideline waiting for the play call, then having to rush to get everyone on the same page and snap the ball with 3 seconds on the play clock. They did a much better job overall with this Saturday.
