As quick as he separates  I guarantee  he wasn't  covered  every time.

 

You can’t guarantee that without watching the film back. Again you’re making an absolute statement with nothing to confirm it.

 

It’s NFL everyone is quick. Unless you’re running the 9, it’s more route running then straight line speed that gets you separation. Look at Wayne, Harrison and now TY. They are craftsman of running routes. 

 

Can you guess what scouting reports said about his route running? 

 

To be clear, I think he’s a great prospect. But he’s had a hammy, a notoriously lingering thing for speedsters, and he needs to learn his craft at the NFL level. 

 

 

Patience. Look at early Wayne and Hilton.

Patience. Look at early Wayne and Hilton.

Cain was on the field 46 percent  of snaps. targeted once for a pass interference  call. Never targeted again.

Campbell  25 percent of snaps. 1 target 1 td.

Hines 19 percent of snaps. Two Carries and two targets. 1 caught for five yards. All the receivers  haven't  been getting  many targets. You'd figure if cain is the number 2 he'd get more than 1 target. Hines was proven to be effective  catching and was under used in chiefs game last year and has not really been used much this year.

The ground  and pound style  has murdered the passing offense.

Wayne, the WR many fans considered a bust his first two years in the NFL

 

Hilton, the guy many said could never be a true #1 WR.

 

Proof a guy has to be used like a superstar in his first couple of NFL games to amount to anything in the NFL.

And yet, none of that is the reason the Colts lost to the Chargers nor why the Titan game was closer than it should have been.

Targets shouldn’t be a a set number... if Cain was covered 99% of the time and others are open, who do you want them throwing to. 

 

Stats are wonderful when used well and correctly, but even then they tell a fraction of the story. Film is king.

Just because you say it a different way does not make it true.  Watch his head, he does not follow Campbell across the field, he looks, left, right then left.  In other words, the way a QB is supposed to go through his progressions.

 

uh no. 

here's another view.

We should of had at least one turnover in the titans game. We could have had 3 or 4 turnovers. Titans game a couple penalties killed a couple drives. Now we know at least one wasn’t a penalty. We should of blown out the titans. Those things will be cleaned up I think.

Thanks, that shows clearly that he looked left, looked right and snapped his head to the left after Campbell passed the centerline of the field.

 

Thanks for posting.

he quickly flashed left, then locked in on Campbell and followed him from right to left. it's clear.

 

a QB going through progressions is to suppose to look at multiple routes. he didn't look at anything besides PC. following him from one side of the field to another is not going through progressions or holding DBs in their area. at best the original flash left might have kept a DB to the left for a millisecond, but it was way to brief for a DB to truly bite.

 

if you're not familiar with progression reads......

So let's see what is the more likely scenario.

 

JB did not lock onto Campbell, went through his progressions, saw Campbell wide open and threw him the ball for a TD thus not allowing the defense adequate time to defend the pass.

 

or

 

JB locked onto Campbell almost immediately, followed him across the field for the 1.5x seconds it took for him to clear the bulk of the defenders and none of the professional defensive players that are trained and paid to take advantage of just that scenario noticed and reacted in time to do anything about it.

 

It's obvious you are going to believe what you want to believe and not what the evidence shows.  That's fine, that's part of being a fan.

The falcons are bad in the run game. Expect a lot of Mack and Wilkins again. 


It'll be interesting to see. Falcons were ran all over by the Vikings but then they held the Eagles to under 50 yards.

Stampede Blue did a good breakdown that showed the Vikings mostly had success to the outside while the Eagles were stuffed running up the middle (Jarrett's a beast). It'll be interesting to see what we do/have success with since we've been much better going between the tackles. We definitely haven't shied away from running to the outside though, just hasn't worked much.

the reality is, PC is fast and burned the DB from the first step. the 2 DBs on the left looked to be man to man on Mack and Cain.

Some of that might of been the eagles lost two WR so they became one dimensional and were easy to stop.

I going to keep banging  the drum til I see the young wrs being used the way they are supposed  to be. He got 1 pass thrown his way in each game. 1 pass is too little  to show off his talent.  Give him atleast  5 targets in space.

I'd be more inclined to agree if I'd seem him generating that kind of space.

Just a side note the chiefs lost their left tackle to a hernia. What is it with all these tackles going down.

 

Starters who don't play much in the preseason, and who don't have a great work ethic in practice, tend to suffer in the first few 60 minute efforts of the year.

 

That's not why all of them are getting hurt, being a lineman means risking injury after all.  But it's a major contributing factor

It was a good leading throw.  Campbell made it easy but Brissett still had to put it where it had to go.

 

And no, NOT any QB could make that throw.  We've certainly seen examples of that kind of throw going very badly.  One that stands out is the Russsel Wilson pass that the Pats picked off in SB49. Wilson didn't throw a strike to Lockette and that allowed Butler to get in and out the body on him.  A good throw that Lockette could shield with his body while he caught it would have been a TD.

Because Wilson made a bad pass on a simple throw he should complete most of the time he can't make the throw. A tough throw by my standards is when a QB has to drop it over a lb and in front of a safety/cb or a timing throw before the wr even comes out off his break. Having to hit a guy running wide open in the end zone when all he has to is lead him is not a tough throw.

Oh you mean like this one

 

 

On the numbers between two defenders making it stupidly easy for TY to score

I don't know, the Eagles still threw it almost 50 times as opposed to running it under 30 times.

I think his point was that the people  he was throwing  to weren't  as good. The eagles backs also have been questionable recently

Alot of Lts and qbs going down. Meanwhile  the Pat's keep  getting better.

The ground and pound style is taking away from the passing game.  I am not so sure that is a bad thing in the short term as it should open up the passing game.  My angst is that I don't feel Brissett can progress through his reads well enough.  He is still the college QB staring down his first read.  If that one isn't open he panicks and looks for a check down.  Reich calls the plays but it seems the fans forget there is more than one option on a pass play.  He takes the first read..then check down (or so it seems).

Today reich talked about the the 3rd and 9 at the end of the game. Right after that 4th and one. He said it took everything to not call a pass there. They had a play in mind. He praised JB for seeing the blitz and checking down to the run game.

Brady's actually died like 3 times, they just keep re-engineering him and putting in an older, but more efficient unit. Brady 3.0 reigns supreme.

If he's died 3 times, wouldn't it be Brady 4.0?

 

I wonder what Brady's relation is to Ra's Al Ghul

Yes, so let's all make fun of him for TB12, and continue to eat our vegetable oil fried food.  Thats what society does...so it must be right.

 

Btw., This is not directed at you, only that people say this about him but then turn around and ridicule him for his weird diet.

    • Sorry late to the party line chat on Page 57 of 94   Skyy Moore, deleted that draft class and notes but Moore seemed to have some potential but wasn't sold on him.  Viewed Moore as an average receiver not much more.  I wouldn't trade for him.   If you were looking to trade for any WR, I would suggest targeting the Packer's Dontayvion Wicks.    As for some of these other comments that I have read up and not going to ready through 30 pages.  Colts spent 200M on most of their own (top NFL) players,    Recent news I saw is that the Colts haven't had any communication talks about trading for Sneed.  How true that is or not to be seen.  Seems the Colts have done a lot spending 200M on their own and doubt we have much cap space left to sign a big-name player like Sneed.  Still haven't seen latest cap space figures since our latest signing.     The Colts build through the draft and those expectations will not change this season.  Again, our organization was lucky enough to sign some of our best positional players.  Sadly, not everyone can get resigned and do expect Blackmon to move on.  Latest rumor is Blackmon signs with the Bills. 
    • The problem is Ballard drafts traitsy raw guys more often than not, so by the time AR is ready we likely won't know if the guys he drafted are IT. That issue then gets compounded by Ballard not using FA to bring in guys who work NOW. THEN if the guys he drafts miss, we'll be waiting another 2-4 years on the next batch... see the problem?   That's fair I guess, but Armstead and Huff were signed for ~$17m/year.   Huff was the 2nd most efficient pass rusher IN THE LEAGUE in 2023 behind only Micah Parson - that's better than Myles Garrett, TJ Watt, Nick Bosa you name 'em. For $17m that's worth taking a shot at, because even if he only produces at a good level he'd still likely be a Jonathan Greenard who signed for $19m. IF he works out though he'd be the bargain of the decade.   Armstead has already played with Buckner and he would be a big upgrade over Grover Stewart for $4m more per year than what we signed Grover for.
    • Great post, thanks.  One of your best.    I think your roster bonus argument crushes my signing bonus argument.   100 percent flattens it.   Like a Quinton Nelson pancake!   I don’t see a counter argument.     Many thanks.          
    • I’d like to focus on one paragraph.   The one about AR working out.   You connect AR working out, which will take 2-4 more years to confirm with “the roster as it is now.”    Thats a flaw.   When we know about AR working out, whether it’s 26, or 27,  that will be connected to the roster that he has THEN, not the roster he has NOW.   See the disconnect?  The roster should be better to support AR.   And I wouldn’t call guys like Luvu or Stone, both guys I like, as shiny toys.  They’re solid players I think we’d all like.  The Sony toys are the four big name plays you listed.  Those guys are just too expensive.  
    • Unless you're the Lions and draft 18th.  I did like Jack Campbell last year.    Agree do think Cooper would be around 20th and later.
