Yeah, for a no namer, that is something!  I've only read one article about it and 2 or 3 fans reference him.  I've heard other no namers mentioned more for not doing anything is my point.

It reminds me a little bit about Darius Butler.  We picked him up off of the street, and became a nice little 'nickel' for us.

Mainly technique things.  It's preseason final score means next to nothing and stats mean even less than that.

 

Oline:  How fast is each player off the snap, does he block the person that it makes sense to block, to they maintain their base once engaged with the defender... for tackles how is their kick step, if a guard pulls how does he track then engage the defender to block.  Do they keep their head on a swivel

 

RBs, do they run behind their pads, do they keep their shoulders square to the LOS even when the lower half is twisting and juking, do they see the hole before it develops.  If they get to the 2nd level to they make the correct move.

 

WRs. Do they break at the correct point, how crisp are their cuts, do they set up the DB, do they use their hands to catch.

 

DBs:  Do they come out of their back pedal at the correct time, to they focus on the correct part of the WR, how do they track the ball in the air, how do they handle run support.

 

Stuff like that.

Not speak for Coffee but just for myself if Im really looking for the right things and not just losing myself in the game:

 

"Oline: How fast is each player off the snap, does he block the person that it makes sense to block, to they maintain their base once engaged with the defender... for tackles how is their kick step, if a guard pulls how does he track then engage the defender to block.

Yes

 

"RBs, do they run behind their pads, do they keep their shoulders square to the LOS even when the lower half is twisting and juking, do they see the hole before it develops. If they get to the 2nd level to they make the correct move."

 

Yes

Yes

Do they come out of their back pedal at the correct time,

 

Much harder to track without ALL 22

 

"to they focus on the correct part of the WR"

 

Harder to track

 

 

"how do they track the ball in the air"

 

Yes

 

"how do they handle run support."

 

Yes

Mostly interested in Dorsett, Carter and Moncrief's battle for the 3-5 jobs. TY, Andre and the rest of the starters probably won't see much time, so it will mostly be these three, along with Doyle and Swoope and the back up RBs catching passes from Hasselbeck and Bennett behind the second string o line.

So I expect Moncrief, Dorsett and Carter to get a lot of opportunities. Will be fun to see who makes the most of them.

Not as much as I'd like.  BUt that's why I subscribe to game pass.  I don't know if they do the "All 22" for preseason, I haven't ordered it yet this year.

I have Game Pass now and they don't do All 22 for preseason. I don't know why.

I assume you have to rewind multiple times because you can't possibly analyze all the players of the OL at the same time for all the qualities you mentioned. Anyway, with the amount of time you seem to dedicate I can't help to wonder whether you should have been a football scout or work in the field in some capacity.

      Taking a poll on Richardson and everyone's views...

      By #12. · Posted

      Ignoring anything to do with accuracy, level of play, etc., just based on his injury history through 8 games, it's highly unlikely he will be our QB in a few years.  It's a catch 22 with him.  If you don't utilize his legs, it will be very difficult to win with him.  If you do utilize his legs, it will be very difficult to keep him on the field.  I've come to the conclusion that his size is not necessarily a benefit.  The collisions are harder.  He goes to the ground harder.  You don't see some of the gentle drops and rolls you see with Lamar Jackson.     The fact that he's also tied to a front office that might be counting their days doesn't help either.

      How can you watch Colts games with so many injuries to top players?

      By ProblChld32 · Posted

      Id say avoid drafting or taking players from your team that you’re a fan of. I’m an avid fantasy guy and also a sports bettor. I literally will avoid taking any Colts players In fantasy and also during the week in fantasy football I avoid taking the props of the players I’m playing against. I never want to wish bad on anyone so for that very reason I avoid those guys. For me personally it has helped tremendously, I can still enjoy the game without bias.

      Richardson day to day with abdominal, oblique injuries

      By ColtAndOrioles · Posted

      I will just say this about the comparisons between Luck and AR.  And even Manning.   First, as far as overall talent?  I think AR has more talent than Andrew.  And I say that as the biggest Luck fan that there is.  I loved that guy.  But he always reminded me of a Manning wannabe.  Someone who had more pure talent.  Who was very smart.  But I never ever got the feeling that he wanted to win and put in the hours that Manning did.  And I think that was proven when he retired so early.  Manning was like an AI robot who studied 23 hours a day.  Just a huge will to win.    But what Luck had was pain tolerance, drive and overall ability due to his teaching since he was a kid...and his will to do what is right for the team.    IMO that was 100% MORE than AR's is right now.  Not even close.    If only you could clone a combo between Manning and his smarts, Luck and his pain tolerance, and AR and his pure athletic ability.    I am sorry but unless AR is the unluckiest person in the history of the NFL, NO ONE gets hurt this much.  He is a wreck.  Heck I remember in his first pre season game last year he ran out of bounds and started to limp.  Literally his very first hit ever.  Right then I said to myself "uh oh".  And then he has not finished what......4 of his all time starts?  Out of 8?  I mean....that is not normal QB behavior.  He seems to get hurt on almost every hit he takes.    Make that make sense.    It is very VERY odd to say the least.   I want AR to do well because he seems like a good guy and he has all the talent in the world  But after this last game and his words after? For lack of a better word I don't think he has any ability at all to do 2 things.     One....protect himself.   Two.....take a hit and feel pain without it being the end of the world.  He seems to have no pain tolerance whatsoever.  Which is fine.  Just don't be an NFL Qb as a result.

      I'm not creating anything.  Till AR can stay on the field it's Flacco that has to be tough.

      I understand that but till AR shows he can stay on the field, Flacco has to be the man. It's that simple.
