Listening to the tone of his voice...I would say practice may not have gone well today; and maybe he reads the BY.
Conference call was @ 11a this morning.

Agree. And I really don't want to pile on, but I think we all know he was prone to interceptions before coming to Storrs. It's only been one game so far, and it seems like he's learned a lesson there at least with no picks on Friday. Now he needs to master his fear of contact and step into the pocket; not back or run out of it at the first sign of pressure.Couldn't agree more. CW plays like a rookie QB with happy feet. I can't blame him though - he was put behind GDL's OLs and suffered multiple concussions. I'd have happy feet too if I was used to playing in a GDL offense.
I think part of his problem is he's too short to see well inside the pocket, so he's constantly looking to get out of it.Agree.

I actually think he would reduce the severity of hits by stepping into the pocket more often. It just seems logical that there would be less room for defenders to build up momentum vs. when they've got a full head of steam getting to him when he's 10 yds behind the LOS or running around. Will he get hit more often by stepping up? Probably so. But again, I think those hits will be less severe overall and it won't wreck the timing of passing plays like forced scrambling does. But what do I know, siting here on my couch.
