It is getting very annoying Trey having to play off schedule a ton. We already know he can do that. The scramble drill is good for our receivers...not used to that so that part is good. But damn, let the man take a shot gun snap, plant and throw from the pocket.
He'll get there. He needs the reps (and lots of it) to get that instinct to throw to the right spot like some of our past legends. He won't get there unless he can defeat the blitz. That's probably why Kyle's getting him some pressures to get his internal passing clock faster. When the blitz comes you have to know where to go. One way is to anticipate the blitz, via down and distance, the other is just sheer reflex on both the receiver and the QB. That takes time, and lots of it.
At worst, all our receivers are getting reps working on off schedule plays. They were horrible at this under the few times Jimmy got outside the pocket. Now they absolutely have to stay alive and work off body language and chemistry. They're getting a ton of this early.
I remember the last minute pass from Jimmy to Jeff Wilson against the Cardinals back in 2019 that beat them. It was a circle route that Jeff Wilson caught and ran in for a game winning TD. Jimmy had to throw that in the face of a rush, and couldn't even see Jeff as he ran his pattern. Until Trey can do that kind of stuff in his sleep, I definitely wouldn't ask Trey to put the game on his arm.
I know the scramble drill was built into Steve Youngs game, and like you said the recievers are getting a ton of it already. If Trey can avoid that Blitzer, he basically has a man advantage in the passing game. With his howitzer arm, he can easily lazer those passes to the open guy.
