Sanchez
Tutor
poised, and confident with more pretty good arm strength... but most
importantly, extremely accurate. Liking what I see. Can anyone
explain the difference from the tentative, unconfident shaky kid we
saw on MNF?

Game one he was under pressure from the start and both Cotchery &
Keller made some early drops. I think Bruschi's assessment of him was
fair that he is fine when things are going well & that may extend to
Schott & Ryan as well but when faced with pressure he questioned
Sanchez ability to get it done.
The turning point of this season & hopefully Sanchez' career may be
Moss' TD right before the half. If you remember the Jets got the ball
back with 5+ minutes & was moving the ball. At 2nd & 8 Sanchez gets
sacked & the Jets did what they did at the end of last year, accepted
a punt instead of risking 3rd & long. I criticize Schott or maybe
Sanchez (audible?)here. t was 2nd & 8 with 2:04 left. Why not run a
draw here if you are goingto subsequently surender the down? The clock
is past 2:00 and if you catch a break your drive is alive & if you
don't you run the ball again & maybe get lucky or you leave Brady with
>1: 30 min to score.
So Moss scores & the Jets let Sanchez off the leash & we drive for a
FG. Let's hope we never look back but he is so green. Remember
Elway & Aikman struggled their first three years and they played a
lot of college football.
Here was that drive.

Some radio shows were saying that Dirty was on a leash in Week 1 and
has since been given more freedom.
He's been lucky as well. He threw two touchdowns (one last week, one
this week) where if a defender had simply taken a peek back, they
would have been be interceptions.
It might also have been carryover from a slow pre-season. Now he's
back at full speed.
I can't comment on New England, but Miami had a shitty defense. There
were just as many plays last night where defenders weren't within 10
yards of receivers as there were plays where Dirty had to thread the
needle.
I hope it's the third option I gave and that he's getting warmed up.
If Dirty plays like this the rest of the year, we have a chance of
winning every game.

Just take a look at his ratings for the year so far:-
Week 1 (BAL) 56.4
Week 2 (NWE) 124.3
Week 3 (@MIA) 120.5
... but let's just hope he can *AT THE VERY LEAST* improve this little
stat by 100 pts.
Career vs BUF 23.4

The torrent is almost downloaded. Thanks for your help. Can't wait
to see it again. I'm gonna pay special attention to the O-line play.

That he was in there at the end is proof that coaches realize it as
well.
