Zac
I saw this mentioned in another thread but couldn't find it - someone pointed out the cup marks on his arm and neck - I saw those - I know there is some kind of therapy that leaves those - can someone explain ---

Re: Zac
I had not noticed ,but "cupping" is an alternative medicine technique often utilized by massage therapists and acupuncturists as a pain relief therapy.

Re: Zac
Yeah - that was me. I noticed it early in the game, wonder if he's having arm trouble?

Re: Zac
It’s called cupping, it’s an eastern technique that pulls a lot of blood into a specific area. It’s basically a suction cup. First time I saw it was Michael Phelps. I think it used as much for basic muscle recovery as it is for treating issues. I saw the marks on Zac at fan fest so he’s been using it all season.

Re: Zac
As I noted on another thread, Zac has a talented arm and good feet to get him out of trouble. The problem that he has is staring down receivers. He usually overcomes that by bailing out and running or just making a great throw even when the defender sees his read. Over the last two games, this is starting to catch up to him. He must start going through his progressions or defenses can look at what GAS did and mimmick it to give Zac trouble. Zac definitely has some demons this year, and I'm not sure why he has struggled mentally. This is where Drink the Head Coach needs to work hard and get Zac comfortable, or 69 is right, we could have a new face at the helm next year. All you need to do is go back and watch the replay of the game and watch Zacs head after the ball is snapped, it will tell you all you need to know.
I'm still struggling to get over the third down where he overthrew Evans on the flat and Corey was wide open in the back of the end zone. It was a really rough night for Zac.

Re: Zac
It’s possible Zac didn’t see Corey in that corner. I’m finding Zac looking at his first then working his progression. Sometimes he gets fixated but I’m finding that rare.
Even more rare were the holding calls on GaS the no call pass interference and inconsistent whistles.
