Everyone is agreeing here, but not me. I went back and looked at your times
here and you're flat out wrong in your assessment in 3 out of 4 of them...

First off... it's already been shown that 3-4 seconds of protection is plenty of time for a QB to make a read and a throw. If he checks down it's because he made that read to check down... NOT because he was getting pressured. That's the case with 12:12 left in the 1Q, and 4:35 left in the 1Q. Those shouldn't count as losses. It's also interesting to note that he didn't "lose" the guy at 12:12 of the 1st until Stringham engaged with the DL.

As for 13:50 left in the 2Q, Hill left the pocket. You can't fault a lineman for his guy leaving to pursue the QB when he doesn't even know where he is. If he "locked" up his guy in that situation it would have been holding (and most definitely would have been called given how tight the officials were calling things).

The only one where you are correct is at 2:10 left in the 2Q. That resulted from his hands being too high, not because of a "shove" move. If his hands were lower and inside then his "shove" is a well-executed block.

I get the feeling you wanted to try and prove yourself right, but... you were wrong.
