20 minute long video from Brett Kollmann breaking down what's wrong with Wentz from a little over a week ago.
If you don't want to watch it all, he's the TLDR rundown.
1) Mechanics
a) Over-striding - he's stepping too far into his throws sometimes, causing the ball to come out flat
b) Pigeon-Toeing - When he steps into his throws, his foot is pointing inside. You want to point your foot towards where you're throwing. Pointing your foot inside will cause your passes to drift that way. Brett credits 4 INTs to this one issue alone.
He makes the point that there are a lot of coaches that believe you should not try to fix mechanical issues in the middle of the season for fear of making things worse.
2) Hero Ball - he says this is probably his biggest issue
3) Doug Peterson - Peterson's play calling isn't helping. He highlights a baffling play call from Peterson. It's 2nd and 19, and Peterson calls a play action shot play (only 2 players running deep routes, everyone else pass protecting). This play call makes zero sense. No one is biting on a play fake on 2nd and 19, so of course his 2 route runners are blanketed. Wentz ends up doing his hero-ball act, gets sacked and fumbles.
And when I watched this the first time over a week ago, I thought he was being a bit sensationalist at the end of the video. Turns out he was spot on.
