I'm on the East coast this weekend to attend a family wedding. My wife thought I was crazy to stay up until 2:30 AM watching a football game on my phone (no TV in our B&B). It was totally worth it!

Right. He started scrambling several times when he wasn't in danger just because the 2.5 second clock he'd been conditioned into having in his head from last season started ringing. Hopefully he'll be able to watch film and realize what a great job his line did.

He does still have a lot to improve on, accuracy-wise. I'm betting he'll be able to do that.

One strange quirk I noticed (and I'm definitely no expert), but his release point seemed to be really low--almost side-arm at times--compared to last year. Anybody else see that?

Someone mentioned that during fall camp. I didn't really notice it, but I'm not all that into QB mechanics (I wouldn't know right from wrong).

The locker room talk from Coach Sitake gives me the tingles and jingles.
