If theirs is one thing in particular that is night and day with Ballard compared to Grigson, it’s his ability to draft good offensive lineman. Fries turned his career around and in his 1st game, Bortolini stood out. In the past 3 years he’s drafted Rainman, Fries, and Bortolini. I’ve got my issues with Ballard when it comes to other things, but man can the guy draft some OL. We might have gotten our center of the future. -
Good players make plays when the game is on the line. Like Reggie Wayne in the green bay game. One thing is for sure you don't target a guy that has down next to nothing all game when the game is on the line. That be as silly as when Taylor averages 8 yards a carry all game and with the game on the line and it being 3rd and 2 you substitute him for a back who got stuffed at the line of scrimmage all game. Every team has a go to guy. Brady had gronk and edleman Brees had Michael Thomas and Jimmy Graham. Stroud most dependable target is nico Collins ect -
It really was pretty wild to see the difference in AR to Flacco as it pertains to processing in live time. They really are pretty much the opposite QB at this point in their careers, Like some have mentioned- AR is just unrefined in everything he does. His reads are too quick, his footwork is too unsettled and he looks like a wild stallion in that pocket. When he makes big plays it usually isn't because of the aforementioned traits, its because he can release the ball quick with superior velocity. In Flacco you have a guy who makes perfectly settled, on rhythm reads, has solid and quiet footwork in the pocket and looks calm and collected out there. When he makes big plays its because of his veteran decision making within the construct of the offense. However, if that breaks down his chances of overcoming it are very slim. He won't run for the first down and his 40 year old arm (while still good and lightyears better than a 37 year old Matt Ryan's) is limited. You could see the difference in his arm strength on the deep ball. His float like a balloon and Richardson's are absolute ropes. In theory, Flacco should be the perfect QB from a skillset standpoint to mentor Anthony on his weaknesses, and those seem to be Flacco's strengths. Ultimately though, for every pass Joe has to throw in a game means less chance of Anthony developing. He needs to be on the field. Having Joe is nice if you are contending or in a playoff hunt, but having Joe on the field for meaningful time in week 4 was NOT and is NOT in the blueprint of what we are building. A lot of people are complaining ad nauseum about Anthony and if he will ever get there- but nobody denies the upside that we've seen. I think the first step in his development is being able to hone down on what he needs to work on the most and I really think that stage is almost complete. He will grind, and by week 8 lets have another conversation. Injuries aside of course. The kid needs to also learn the physicality of the NFL and had no time to sink his teeth into S and C last offseason. -
Who would have thought Mason Rudolph would come in for Will Levis? If Will Levis plays the whole game, Dolphins win, IMO. Plus, Seahawks vs Lions, what a barn burner. Seahawks' D was minus 5 starters with 3 along the DL, the Lions ran on them like crazy, and Goff doesn't get touched, the kind of game he excels when pressure doesn't get to him. Seahawks did fight hard, was pleasantly surprised by Geno Smith, he has been a late bloomer, just like Sam Darnold now. -

My main concerns with Richardson are his accuracy problems and his injury history. His big play ability relies on his legs a lot which in turn leaves him open to getting hurt. If he doesn’t use his legs as much then he needs to get a lot more accurate. Hopefully he’s able to make it through the entire season.
