That's a valid concern, on occasion.
Easily correctable, but from his college tape, I agree.
My biggest gripe about Geno: when the receivers aren't open and he has a big running lane, he opts to throw it away, take a sack by waiting too long, or forces a throw.
I can remember at last 10 times when I would yell at the screen for the guy to just take off and run with it because that's what the defense was giving him. The guy isn't slow, he had plenty of chances to pick up 15 or even 20 yards by running it and seemed to ignore the opportunity...probably because he wanted to stay disciplined by keeping his eyes downfield, but he needs to make defenses respect his legs in those situations at the next level.
