is there a stat for batted down passes at the line of scrimmage? i sware Alex Smith would break the record if there was lol, anyone else notice this? is it because they dont know how to throw the ball over 5 yards?

i dont recall him having his passes batted down when he throws left. Anyone know?

Last week a pass to the left was batted down.

It is a lack of technique by the OL. Hill had a lot of passes batted down as well.

The oline is loosing up front - they are constantly being pushed backwards and passing lanes that are there just disappear as fast as they were created.

Basically the OL is playing like pus**es AGAIN

If Raye was smart he would be running some bootlegs etc to move the pocket - but we know that is not the case

Jesus H. Christ, how many phucking balls can somebody have batted down in one half? This is disgusting.

Its the o line fault. I actually seen snyder help lift one of the lions to bat the ball down. Also, alex is not allowed to create a throwing lane by slightly moving left or right. Its a restriction raye has placed on him.

Bad line, bad play call = bad throw by alex.

Man I

Alex.

I want to hear what Alex Smith supporters are going to say about this. I can't help but to get upset watching this guy play. I'll take Stanton over this guy. I'll take anyone but Hill and Smith. We have the worst QBs in the league

yeah... there seems to be an uncanny amount of batted down passes that it can't all be the lines fault. It's getting ridiculous.
