It also could lead to another lineman giving up a sack cause the QB is forced from the pocket to the right side and/or up. That changes how the other lineman have to block and they can't necessarily see that.
If you look at pressures, Brax has given up the most on the line. Having said that, I wouldn't pay him $20 mill a year either...but I don't understand why we'd have to? He's not a free agent until 2026...so we don't have to sign him to a new deal this off season. Even if he were, does anyone think he's getting more than $12 to $15 mill a year max given what we know right now?
The “pressure” stat is subjective. If the rusher does not prevent Williams from seeing his target and completing his pass without a bunch of scrambling around, who cares? Most of his pass completions are while under “pressure”. To some extent, that is the QB job. The pressure is a problem only if it is disruptive of the play. Having said that, I would like to see Brax set his anchor a little farther away from Williams to give him a little more space to move around.
Do players lift weights during the season, or is all the heavy lifting only in the offseason? I wonder whether Brax did any lifting during the bye week, and would it do any good?
All pressures disrupt the play. They impact the timing and footwork of the QB. Take the one pass Caleb had to Roschon last game. He had to take what should have been a routine play and throw with a crazy arm angle across his body because Brax got dog walked back into him. Now it wasn't a sack...or a QB hit...but the pressure greatly impacted the play and it would have been incomplete except Roschon made a great catch.
As for lifting weights during the season. I'm sure they do to some extent, but every team is different, and if you're beat up, you're not doing any real heavy lifting. One week of lifting won't do a whole lot.
