And I get that we aren't converting a lot of 3rd and 20s, just as I'm positive that Pat knows that as well. I'm sure he understands that 4th and 8 is still better than taking a sack.

He starts to drift in his zone because the ball's not there when he turns.
And there's no reason for it not to be. That play worked exactly as designed. The ball needs to come out as he's breaking down. He turns and sees that the ball hasn't been thrown so he drifts.
But if the ball was thrown before he turned, he's going to attack the ball rather than drift.
Guy was NFL open. And pretty damn open for the situation, IMO.
