  1. People don’t understand what makes a good pass protector for a RB. It’s not size and strength it’s lateral quickness. You look at ras scored on agilities and both JT and DH are very very low, so there is no way either dude is ever going to be great in pass pro. It’s just s physical impossibility. no trade yet DD.
  2. I somewhat see what you’re saying a little but man it would be nice if his throwing technique wasn’t so godawful. It’s hard to overcome all those bad habits over all these years. He could do it. I didn’t follow Allen. IDK if he was an inaccurate thrower or his comp% was low for a variety of other reasons. Do you know or does anyone? ARs combine revealed his inaccuracy even when throwing on air. His deep ball ability is pretty astounding but that doesn’t thrill me. Hopefully he will clean up that awful tech. you said you coached. The tech is pretty obviously bad. i coached wrestling for years but the tech I learned and taught in the 80s thru 2010ish got largely surpassed so when my own son expressed interest I took him to the academy to have them teach him right from the get go. I didn’t show him much of my stuff . Bad habits in tech are hard to correct and ar has a lot of them. so I’m hopeful for AR he has obvious physical tools but I’m not overly impressed with the kid yet. He’s got a long way to go.
  3. Moose is high on AR. CC, I know I’m a Colts fan but man we’ve done some dumb stuff and haven’t had much success going on close to a decade now. I actually joined this board about a week before Luck retired and was totally excited and positive. Since then, we’ve had a rough time if it and these last couple of seasons have been disastrous and our org just looks terrible. I really don’t understand what people are looking at if they don’t see that. I wish people would just talk ball and lose the personal attacks. I don’t initiate attacks but I also don’t back down from them. in short there is a lot to whine about lol.
  4. Guess the number of times Derrick Henry set in pass pro last year
  5. he’s not been great at it. Did he have a better year last year . I don’t pay for pff so look up sample size. He’s rarely on the field in obvious passing downs. https://mattwaldmanrsp.com/2018/08/29/matt-waldmans-rsp-nfl-lens-rb-derrick-henry-pass-protection-struggles/
  6. That was an excellent example of the classic logical fallacy called a non sequitur. I might use that as an example of what not to do someday. Thank you.
  7. You asked about all pro. Media guys vote for all pro BB. Guys who studies Shakespeare and ed Murrow lol. How did pff grade JT?
  8. I’m still waiting for your answer Jvan. Do you know who votes for all pro?
  9. Do you know who votes for all pro Jvan? Hint. It’s not football guys.
  10. are you asking were they all pro or did they play all pro level?
  11. He seems very level headed and poised. we have to hope he makes good reads and improves his striking inaccuracy. I don’t love him, but his seeming lack of panic is evident on college tape. he wasn’t impressive with his downfield decision making though and is as inaccurate as it gets. They’re hoping he follows The path of Allen.
  12. I’m not sure if Taylor is taking things personal. He may and I would understand if he did. But I think he is just trying to force more money and/or a trade. This team has very little going for it right now and RBs earning windows tend to be very short. I think the premises of his logic are flawed, but we shouldn’t ignore that he hired Shaqs agent who got Shaq a grossly overpriced deal.
  13. Go Cubbies. Been a fun watch for a last month or so.
  14. Neither Nelson nor Leonard had great years and were coming off surgeries. Was he stupid then? And learned the error of his ways?
  15. Well we tried to warn them lol. But if Good Time is the voice of reason here. . .
  16. CB pretty much seems like a manakin at this point at least in this deal. Who knows what's going on in Good Time Jimmy's org right now though.
  17. He's tradeable. I think they could deal him towards the deadline possibly. Pitt the same way. They have to decide if they want to rehire him for 20mill+ a year. Doing that with Pitt doesn't make me feel warm and fuzzy.
  18. He hasn't been very good for some time now. He's also a better slot corner in C2 like Flus ran. He didn't have as much responsibility over the top with 2 deep safeties and was able to play closer to the LOS and use his physicality to beat on little slot guys. In C3 his lack of athleticism is exposed. Wrong system for his skill set.
  19. We have nothing of value except maybe Pitt for 3rd or so. Maybe Buckner for a 2nd or 3rd at his number. I know people are going to be sad/mad but this is reality IMO. We can't just tear apart the oline with a rookie QB, but even if we were going to do that, we have negative assets across the board. The salary don't match the production. we are a hot mess as an organization. The good thing is that if we are terrible, then we can make a quick decision on AR. If they don't see enough from him, they can draft another guy.
  20. It's neither one of those things. JT doesn't have great lateral quickness. That is the key to pass pro for an RB. It doesn't matter how much he works on it, it's always going to be deficiency. Henry isn't very good at it for the same reason. Lack of lateral quickness.
  21. Absolutely brother, happy wife, happy midsection. ad homenim
  22. or not. I tend to think he will end up playing for the Colts but your logic is badly flawed. Badly flawed.
