It would be nice to see Batch get more shots this week and I would like to see him get out in the open. He came in after Dwyer made that long run in the 2nd Q Thursday. I went back and watched that part of the game again and noticed that Dwyer did not switch the ball to his left side on the run even though a guy was moving in on him. This puzzled me a bit. Mendenhall has been here what 3-4 years and has made no attempt it seems to pick up this routine pro technique. One day it will be costly. Am I missing something? Is it now not the norm to do this routine thing.
What made this more noticeable was that Al Woods a DL who intercepted that pass saw the guy coming up behind him to strip the ball and switched it to his left hand. Here is a guy that will probably never again have that opportunity and will likely not even make the team doing this fundamental thing.
Does this not strike anyone else as being a bit unusual?
