This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I watched the game. Observation of Jones in pocket vs Book by Hanratty5ND
First off--I was very impressed overall with Jones. I think he has the size/arm and smarts to be a star in the league.
Secondly, as it relates to Book and ND--his pocket presence is something Book could learn from.
Numerous times Jones had major pressure or the pocket collapsing around him.
He stood tall and stepped up in the pocket many times,eluding the rush, and threw accurate darts downfield.
Book,possibly because he is short,seems to leave the pocket all too quick instead of stepping up or to the side to deliver the pass.
I know that Jones got good coaching from Cutcliffe at Duke. I'm not so sure Book is getting the same coaching at ND. If he is,he is slow to learn.
