Jake Retzlaff struggles against the blitz

Something like top 6 QB when defense brings 4 and bottom 12 when they blitz.

And Jake also seems to struggle with the touch / dump off / swing passes for whatever reason.

That's a good point...may be why they don't like doing screen passes hardly ever

My theory. We call more route trees with deeper routes vs short dumps and slants

Yes he struggles against the successful blitz. It is an important distinction lest one think all any opponent needs to

You mean like the majority of QBs?

No this is a relative stat...compared to other QBs vs blitzes

Especially since better defenses will be bringing the blitz more and more based on this weakness……

It doesn't seem like we have a traditional "screen" play in the playbook to help slow down blitzes.

Yeah the screen play is non existent. I wonder if its due to what foofcoug is
