With a hopefully much improved running game, I'd be surprised if Andrew throws as many passes this season as he did last season. I think Pep Hamilton wants a more balanced offense but was forced to lean heavily on the passing game because of our lack of a running game the last couple of seasons. With less pressure on the passing game and fewer pass attempts, I'd expect Andrew's volume stats (yards, TDs) to go down somewhat from last year but his efficiency stats (completion %, int %) should be improved.

I guess I wasn't looking at the guaranteed money aspect. I guess what I am saying is, that's an awful lot of money to have tied up for just two players especially one that's mediocre at best.
Tannehill has quietly gotten better every year he's been in the NFL. He played very well last year despite a very poor offensive line.
Tannehill 4045 yds, 66.4%, 27 TDs, 12 INTs
Wilson 3475 yds, 63.1%, 20 TDs, 7 INTs
Flacco 3986 yds, 62.1%, 27 TDs, 12 INTs

Stanford still uses a lot of the defensive schemes installed by Vic Fangio when he was the DC there. Before going to Stanford, Fangio was on the Baltimore Ravens staff with Chuck Pagano, so naturally, a lot of the schemes used at Stanford look like what we use.
I think this bodes well for Henry Anderson and David Parry and their chances of contributing right away as rookies. It was also probably one of the reasons why Delano Howell performed better than most expected when he was healthy.

You're not going to get a lot of respect when you are the ONLY defense in the entire history of the NFL to allow a 500-yard passer AND a 200-yard rusher in the same season.
-
What about Howell? I have not heard anything on him in a while. Rehab go well??
I was wondering about that as well. A healthy Delano Howell would make our safety situation look much better.

Did I mention Whalen is a former 2 year high school QB...Throwing for 1381 yards and 32 td's? Also he played DB...11 int's....Yes I know that's high school but that does show he does have other abilities...I found that pretty interesting....perhaps an opportunity for a trick play?....Doubt he is active though
He was also a running back at some point Mr do it all .
He was also a punter

If we are only talking about accomplishments as a backup QB, then it's hard to beat Jim Plunkett.
Plunkett was the Raiders backup QB in 1980 when their starter went down midseason. He guided the Raiders to a wildcard berth and four straight playoff victories culminating in the first ever Super Bowl victory by a wildcard team. Plunkett was named the Super Bowl MVP.
Plunkett resumed the backup role in 1983 but once again took over after an injury to the starter and once again he led the Raiders to the playoffs and a Super Bowl victory as a backup QB.

Does Pep script the first 10~20 plays like many other WCO guys do? I wonder if that might be the cause of our slow starts.
-
Here's an interesting stat that I saw from another forum:
In games where the opponent scores 25 or more points, the Seahawks are 0-5 with Russell Wilson at QB while the Colts are 7-10 with Andrew Luck at QB.
-
That's fair on Luck. I'm sure I'll get some grief for that B+, but I watched those two plays over and over again, and can't, for the life of me, figure out what he thought he was doing. There were no open receivers in the area, as a matter of fact, the area was flooded with defenders. He never came back to the other side of the field, he never considered running with the ball. Just two of the worst throws you'll ever see him make in any game. Worse than any of his interceptions in the playoffs.
Someone mentioned in another thread that when Luck and Hakeem Nicks were talking on the sidelines after the interception, Nicks appeared to be apologizing and taking responsibility which suggests that Nicks ran the wrong route on that play. When these type of throws happen (with any QB, not just Luck), it's often because the QB and WR were not on the same page.
-
"Possesion" he does not have it, as I wrote AS he is going to the ground BUT he is till touching the ball. The whistle blows when his arm or knee or whatever touches the ground.
As long as the defense have not recovered the ball by the time the whistle blows, it will remain the offense's ball.
-
I believe so as it appears he was only active for 5 games last year. He would however be a prime candidate for another team to sign him to their active roster. So I think the answer is "yes" but that likely (IMO) would result in the Colts losing him .
I don't think Rogers is eligible for the practice squad. He made it onto the field in 5 regular season games, but I think he was on the active roster for several other games. He was also active for our two playoff games, which I belief are also counted for PS eligibility considerations.
-
im so happy that Whalen is impressing right now. I really think if it comes down to griff and da'rick, we should go with whalen ( if he continues this success throughout camp).
I think so too, especially considering that we now have Donte Moncrief, which makes Rogers a little redundant. Moncrief is the same size as Rogers but is faster, younger, and seem to have better hands and route running skills.

And now and 80yd bomb from Hasselbeck to Whalen.
— Jake Arthur (@JakeArthurPFS)
July 25, 2014How did that happen? I didn't think Whalen could out run any NFL DBs.
-
Seabirds better hope Percy Harvin can stay healthy. Baldwin is good, Kearse is ok, but who's left?
They took 2 WRs in the draft, one in the 2nd round and one in the 4th round.
-
They are spending some big bucks for sure. Just gave made him the NFL's highest paid FS after maikng Sherman the highest paid CB.
They are still working on Sherman's deal, which will likely be 13M+ per year.
-
Here's the audio of the exchange between Sherman and Crabtree after the game ending interception.
Sherman was just saying "Hell of a game! Hell of a game!" and reached out for a handshake only to get shoved in the face by Crabtree. No wonder he was angry when Erin Andrews caught up with him just moments after that.
-
In the 11 games with Satele as the starter at center, the Colts averaged 94.1 rushing yards per game and gave up 2.4 sacks per game.
In the 3 games that Satele missed, the Colts averaged 164.3 rushing yards per game and gave up 1.3 sacks per game. -
You should always play to win. With that said, it would be a good idea to use more of a vanilla game plan and not reveal too much how we will attack their offense and defense in the very likely event that we meet again in the playoffs.

What skit?
i lol-ed watching this live, even not knowing the background story! i was like "what the f#$% did he just do?!
funny guy.."it's even funnier now i saw the skit.. no hard feelings, all in good fun..

Griff Whalen was also holding for kicks: https://twitter.com/T_Brookey/status/362293033141669888
Whalen played both QB and RB on offense in high school (as well as safety on defense and punter on special teams). Having him as the holder opens up some interesting possibilities for fake FGs.

Luck ran the read option on a few occasions at Stanford and he was pretty good at it.<br /><br />

After Boldin's contract expires next year and if the 49ers don't re-sign him
and lose him to free agency, will the 49ers get a better compensatory
pick next year than the 6th round pick they gave up this year?
If so, the 49ers basically swapped a 6th round pick in this year's draft for a
better pick next year plus a one-year rental of Boldin's services for $6M.

Offensive Coordination and System of Play Calling
in Colts Football
Posted
Here's an example of a play call in Pep's system. With calls like these and an additional translation step, it's not surprising that they had problems with getting the calls in on time.
