re: The reason Mettenberger has so many balls batted down ....

slow throwing motion? its not that bad but maybe you are seeing something I am not. I think it has much to do with play calling and the short passing. I think these short passes, you sort of have to stare them down to some degree b/c of how quick the route is developed and when thrown. Defenders are taking advantage of this. Wonder if it's more of an issue for right side passes? I can't recall
