Why the Raiders made Fernando Mendoza the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft “Yeah, my pre-stamp process is a vital part of my preparation, and a vital part of my success this year. I’ve always been able to, at the line, this past year, have a ‘PIMP,’” started the quarterback.
That stands for Protection, Intent, Mechanics, and Problems.
“Which means I always go over my protection first, so you know what your hot answers are. Am I gonna be hot off a defender? Who am I responsible for as a quarterback to make sure I can best serve my teammates, and either check the play, or make us in a positive play? Then the intent of the play, why are we calling this play?
“If it’s, you know, third down and two, I’m not gonna throw a go ball 70 yards down the field obviously, unless it’s open, but it’s probably not the intent of the play,“ described Mendoza.
“The mechanics of each play, which are the progression, the footwork, and the intricacies, technique-wise, that a quarterback needs to have, whether it’s, you know, checking it from one side, a nd whether it’s making it an audible, those are the mechanics that apply,” added the quarterback.
“And the last one are the problems.
“For example, if we have a pass play called, and it is awful against Cover 2, and I know my problems against Cover 2, we usually have a hot route, or a check that we can get out of.
“So the ‘PIMP’ is a process I had in college, and I look forward to whatever process my future coaching staff wants me to use, and best thinks that it can best serve our team in the NFL, I’m very open and very amicable to using that.”
