Part of the reason that he sometimes has to run for his life is because of those extra deep drops. The deeper he drops, the harder it is for his tackles to engage their rushers squared up. It's an issue that's come up before. Last season Pat even mentioned it and how he needed to work on staying in the pocket instead of dropping out of the bottom of it. And IIRC, that sack was directly attributable to Pat dropping too far back, and not giving Schwartz a chance to block whoever that was. Bosa, I think.
Doesn't matter. Everyone knows about it, and Pat knows he needs to work on it. All's good.
