I liked that , yesterday is the first time I seen this podcast. It popped up on my YouTube feed when I hit Chicago Bears. When I tried to post it, it just popped up a black screen and said video unavailable.

I also couldn't embed the video so just posted the link.  It is interesting to listen to former Oline talk about what they see in the game.  As good as Darnell Wright's block was even better was watching Benedet move a DB right off the field.   What made me laugh was watching the trailing officials reaction to it which starts at this screenshot.

Watching the all 22, one thing that stood out to me is that Caleb was overthrowing guys. the previous week he was underthrowing them, and he needed to do a better job of getting the ball out in front of receivers so they can run.

That feels like he's trying to dial it in. And it's not making the same mistakes weeks in a row.

Great to see credit be given to this oline.  This squad can run block and a good run team opens the pass. This makes it much easier for Caleb to grow confidence in his abilities which if he get dialed in, we can see a special player.

Could just be related to how much he steps forward as he throws.  A shorter step and your body tends to rise up as you throw leading to a higher pass.   A longer setup flattens or the arc or the arm leading to a bit of an under throw.   Ben Johnson made him change his footwork this year so imaybe we shouldn’t be surprised there is some inconsistency.
