really? Did not see Brady roll out vs Cincy sun night, nor did I see Rivers roll out vs NYJ

Funny, when you stated, "don't see..." I thought you meant more than one game.

 

Didn't watch the SD jets game but I have seen Rivers roll-out before and I have seen Brady roll-out and I have seen Manning roll-out and I have seen just about every QB since the mid 80s roll-out.  Some do it a lot, some do it very little.

In 2013 the avg. passer rating on rollouts was 96.6, compare that to 86.9 on just straight drop backs.  Also nfl coaches called 986 rollouts/18,127 dropbacks, which equals to 1 rollout for every 18 dropbacks.  The Seahawks called the most with 73 rollouts/370 dropbacks or 1 out of every 5 dropbacks.  Wilson's rollout percentage was 134.4 to 101.3

 

yards per completion were 11 on rollouts to 11.6 on dropbacks.  Qb's had a 6.8 td percentage on rollouts compared to just 4.3 on dropbacks.  They also had 1.4 int percentage compared to 2.9. That's like 5-1td/int ratio to 3-2 td/int ratio.

 

Maybe we should use the rollout more...

I re-watched the game on NFL Rewind.   Sloppy play for both teams but had the better and more Red Zone opportunities and should have closed the deal earlier.  But the play calling was fine.  The Red Zone interception wasn't really a rollout.  Luck stepped up in the pocket and escaped to his left.  He has should have taken the sack or thrown the ball away.  A FG there makes it a 2 touchdown game.  I am fine with Pep's play calling - he's mixing in Bradshaw, finding ways to get Richardson productive touches, and I think he's just starting to remember that Allen is a beast anywhere on the field but especially in the red zone.  He's just too much for a LB or Safety.  Pep has settled in and has found good balance

 

If you pay close attention to that play, Bradshaw was Lucks' check down a couple seconds after he snapped the ball but Luck forced the ball to him late and it resulted in a pick.  Luck should have hit Bradshaw much earlier in the play and we probably would have been somewhere around the goal line on the next play.

I actually like the little quick hitches to Bradshaw and or Trent against off coverage.  Usually nets at least 4 yards and it's a great way to get a back in space against a DB.  Back is usually going to win that battle especially closer to the red zone.

I think plays like T-Riches bubble screen are really more of a "dummy" play for later on down the road, its a pretty obvious look, so you get that on tape, then the next time you run it the hope would be the defense is like "o yeah we got this bubble screen" which allows a Doyle or Allen or hell even Luck to slip out the backside for a big gain....of course I'm just guessing here but seems pretty logical to me.

I have noticed people are really hard on Pep. The colts are right now one of the top offences in the NFL. I think the colts left a lot on the field with some sloppy play. Example there was a screen to bradshaw that could have went for big yardage. Still got a first down but he had two blockers in front and it could have went a long way if not for a missed block. 2 Red zone turn overs, bradshaw fumble and luck int.

 

So I am a giants fan for years people cried about their oc Gilbride, but for a long stretch the giants were a top offence, hard to argue with success.

    • 😂😂 😂! Too bad the laughing reaction is gone. Lol

    • I am not a big believer in hiring the so called offensive mind. I believe that is the role of a competent qb coach and offensive coordinator. We are playing a coach in Tomlin who is maybe the best coach in the league and he was a defensive coach. Williams is not struggling because of coaching. They have no run game and he is constantly getting pressured and that is on the GM. They didn't invest in the Oline. They built their receiver group in the draft and through free agency.  A solid Oline would have taken pressure off of Williams. The Colts are actually built well to insulate a rookie qb and give him time to grown.  If you look deep into Fields stats, he is still a bad qb. They are just not putting a lot on his plate, running the ball down teams throats and playing strong D.
    • Apparently it is that hard to grasp. They're the #1 ranked  OL through 3 weeks. Not over the entire season. Not over the course of several seasons. They're #1 right now. They're giving a better performance than the other 31 OL. That does not automatically mean they're playing at an elite level. What if no OL is playing at an elite level?   Imagine you're in school in a class of 30. The class is given a test. You get the highest score with a B-. All that means is you had the highest grade but no one scored a perfect, or elite, grade.    Can you grasp it now or do I need to get out the crayons?
    • I think teams are going to give up the run and force offence to march down the field on a 10 play drive and score. They are going to take away the big play and make Richardson throw intermediate and short passes. The defense believes that he will throw up a pick and/or the offense will stall.  Although,  I dislike the cover 2 defense, it is perfect against a guy like Richardson. The Colts have not shown that they can put long drives together. It is early and it is up to Richardson to make teams attack more. If they continue to run with success and Richardson makes those easy plays.  Then it is a different ball game and it opens up everything. Quite simple actually, lol.  If Taylor is pounding the rock against 4 man fronts because Richardson has improved his accuracy.  Then the D will have to pick their poison. Do you play up to stop the run, short and intermediate passes? Or do they play back to stop the big play? Richardson's evolution, if it happens, will stress the defense probably like no other qb because of his skill set.
