Are there any adjustments made to the deep passing game in this release other than Int's?
Pressure on the QB is greater and pushed more to the DEs, which will impact the deep passing game. The actual release logic is not changing, but I think we'll begin to see more pressure-induced error in the longer passes since there is more time for pressure to get to the QB.
That's all good and a force which may drive outcomes to a more nfl like manner. Still, one has to look at numerous nfl statistics and look at ours at well to keep the balance .
For example I will reiterate some real life forces that dictate nfl outcomes. Pressure for certain plays and situations . Deep passing resulting in interceptions is one as well as hurries on the qb . Or sacks for that matter .
But one has to look at why. I will be doing so with a number 8f stats not available here. One being air yards. A stat I destroyed last season . One that is difficult to tally here but not impossible . Hurries.. yes we were low.
Simple enough , but one glaring stat that is not the hardest to tally is the longest air yard pass completed. I know with out even looking we are severely low. By at least 15 yards. Ball travels too fast!
Another to look at is the time it takes the defender to get the qb to throw...
The average completed air yards was a bit high as well.
Like I said next season I will detail why and how debilitating this is to a real life feel to passing, but that is with accurate statistics tallied.
Without the ability to stretch the defense with an actual deep threat will ruin the game again, but my hopes are high as deep passing has ruled this game for real years. Probably since I have joined.
Still, getting better zone coverage( and acknowledgement of the run) is the way to go right now. Cause why did my qb ignore dump off passes almost completely vs man. As well as assigning man coverage correctly .
And please look at blitzes more closely . I feel a mobile qb will come back in to trend under this change . But that is kinda is the real life trend any how. There are some decent pocket passers left, but where is the smaller edge rusher here to force throws .
