re: Fromm and Eason on video - QB retreat

Let's break it down.

1. Eason feels pressure in the pocket and particularly when operating under center (he was a shotgun QB in High School, his eyes were down field immediately);

2. Eason is better on the roll out because his brain is in action and not worried about being blind sided. Also roll outs give him better vision;

3. His accuracy beyond 20 yards has been good on the roll out but sucks in the pocket.

Conclusion. He has not been able to wall out the rush in his brain while in the pocket. This impacts his foot work and timing. Will he be able to make that adjustment to the pocket this year? If not, the OC needs to have a roll out packages ready, and needs to give him quick safety valve passes. Until Eason can hit the deep ball DCs are going to sit on the short routes and load the box.

Fromm. Very comfortable in the pocket, but slightly weaker arm. Would he be able to maintain comfort and footwork after being clocked a few times?

Conclusion: The Spring game was interesting but was apples to oranges. Fromm is the back-up unless Eason implodes.

Country boy has nothing to do with it.
