08:20 AM ET 08.23 | Nearly every week for two seasons, Brandon Weeden would sit in a chair and hear, "Breathe in through your nose, and breathe out, 'Let go.'" Weeden believes his frequent visits to Paige Wacker, or HypnoPaige, helped him navigate life as a Big 12 starting quarterback. And many other Oklahoma State athletes and coaches agree, which is why Wacker has become a key figure in several teams' training regimens. ... One could look at hypnotherapy as another example of an out-of-the-box tactic in Mike Gundy's program. But it's not an entirely uncommon practice. ... At OSU, the football, women's soccer, baseball and softball teams have turned to Wacker for guidance.

He looked hypnotized standing in the pocket like a statue on every play.

You can breathe all you want, but once James Harrison gets you in his cross-hairs you'd better duck!

There is no doubt he is a great pocket passer. And he has the arm to make those "NFL" throws like the deep out, deep sideline and corner end zone.
But he is a pocket passer in the truest sense. And yes he stood there like a statue and made those throws.

Weeden'll probably win at least one ballgame this year using the "Lower Wacker Drive."
(Okay, that's a bad Chicago-centric attempt. Apologies.)
