Q&A

  • How important are pre-snap adjustments for quarterbacks in the NFL?

    Pre-snap adjustments are crucial for quarterbacks, allowing them to identify defensive weaknesses, adjust protections, and optimize play calls based on the opponent's alignment.

  • What are some of the key factors Colin Cowherd considers when evaluating quarterbacks for his Super Bowl bubble?

    Colin Cowherd prioritizes quarterbacks who demonstrate clutch playmaking ability, particularly in high-pressure situations like late-game drives. He also values mobility, arm talent, and experience.

  • How did Drew Brees's experience at Purdue and San Diego Chargers prepare him for the pre-snap responsibilities he faced in New Orleans?

    While Brees initially focused on executing plays, his time in New Orleans under Sean Payton required him to take on more pre-snap responsibilities, including identifying defensive alignments and calling out protections. This increased his control over the offense and allowed him to optimize play calls.
