Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 2864808, member: 622"] To add to your reasoning, Tommy DeVito has a quick release. TD will not hold the ball long, negating many opposing teams' front four. This may force 5-6 rushers or could result with TD having more time in the pocket. This is, after all, HCDB's offensive mindset. When a QB has more faith in his ability to escape the rush than his pass (ED) he tends to hold the ball longer and wait for a receiver to get open, then have to run. This is not a complaint and actually can be good. In our case, we had no line, ED was perfect, and worked as a bridge to where HCDB wants to go. HCDB has been developing the OL and depth, TD is the style QB HCDB has in mind for the system. This is not a hit on dual threat guys, but there are very few who are pass first, run only if necessary. We will see more as more traditional style QBs learn how to run, but let's be honest, you rarely want your QB to be the leading rusher on the team. [/QUOTE]
