"Make him throw from the pocket"

Not sure who all watched the Als/Eskies last night, but the Eskies did a great job of keeping Cato in the pocket, where he floundered greatly. Kid needs to get out on a roll to be any kind of effective. 

Kind of like everyone who said that once there's film on young qbs and teams know how to defend them they struggle and people shouldn't over value good early performances?

The Esks have the best defence in the league. They make a lot of QB's look bad, not just young ones. 

 

Specifically, they did so by not letting Cato get out of the pocket much, and then when he was taking too long to get the ball away, the pressure was there to get the sack. Cato looked like the game was just moving too fast for him last night.

it helps when you can get that type of pressure only rushing 3 guys...which edmonton did often last night.

 

Mostly because if Cato's first read isn't there he's leaving the pocket regardless of how much time he has.  Feel bad for those OL, it's the worst blocking for a QB with happy feet like that because you never know what he's doing.  You could have a great pocket and then the idiot runs right into the pass rusher that you've blocked perfectly.

hopefully we don't see that happen tonight!
