A good breakdown of AR from Irish Podcaster


Recommended Posts

   I know there’s a few threads about Anthony Richardson but this one was a little unique in that it was from an Irishman (I love Ireland, been there 6 times). 
    The cadence of the narration is a bit much but it does reveal AR is more than just a running QB: He has a pocket awareness and is pretty doggone accurate, especially downfield and oh yeah, he can RUN!! 

      I don’t know about you guys but I’m hoping to see some exciting play this year from #5!

That Tennessee play caught my eye when I watched him after the draft.

 

I think its significant because it debunks the idea that he is just a running QB who relies on his legs to bail him out of trouble. 

 

That play shows that he can play from the pocket. He did exactly what you want to see there. He bought himself some time and kept his eyes downfield. And the way he just rose up with that quick release and threw an absolute dart downfield? That was something only a few guys can do.

 

He still has a long way to go, so Im not sure I totally agree with this guy, but man does he have some things that get you excited......cant wait for the season.

 The good news. He is just now 21, i believe he is a solid mixture of humble, intelligence, focused. He will get great coaching. AR shows defense reading, uses eye manipulation, and anticipates the rush. Excellent news.

 

 The bad news. His footwork "was" sandlot level. 

I have no doubt that he will be working long hours on his footwork.

 With 3 months till the start of the season he can be much improved.

  It all bodes well.

Excellent analysis, thanks for posting. 
 

I didn’t watch much, or any Florida games last season.   I live in Florida now and a Gator fan told me we wasted our pick. The guy is a doctor, but that doesn’t mean he’s a football expert.  
 

He thought Bennett would have been a better pick.  I told him that he was this years Danny Wuerffel.  That quieted him down, lol.


Please AR5, make him eat crow every time I see him this season!

This is off topic, but where was your favorite place in Ireland? I'm going next summer for my honeymoon but know idea which part. 

  Check out the West coast. Fly into Shannon and you’ll be close to Galway (about an hour). You can pick up the Wild Atlantic Way (coastline roadway) and head south to the Cliffs of Moher and the Dingle peninsula. 
  There’s a cool little town (Kenmare) where we rented a house.

    The Ring of Kerry is close. If you have the time, you can head northeast to the Wicklow mountains (they have the most delicious strawberries there), and then either head back to Shannon or to Dublin first, then to Shannon. 

   May the good Lord bless your marriage and the time there!! (And don’t forget to drive on the left side)!!!

Bunratty castle near Limerick is fun.  Touristy but interesting.  Still on that west side.  Going up and down the stone spiral staircases and imagining what life was like is amazing.

    • Steichen segment begins at 36:00 minute mark    
    • Ballard was right to trust Raimann with the LT position. He’s been of our best players these past 3 weeks. 
    • Yes but you should look at the way the D played situationally though, it shouldn't be dependent totally on the offense to me. Let me explain.   4th qtr. of Jaguars game, the D didn't make the stop and limit the Jaguars to a FG, down 21-24. Flash forward to this game. It was not like Minshew and the O was keeping possession to dominate it (it was 36-32 overall in TOP) to keep them fresh. YET, the D was scrappy and did not allow the game to get away. They could have, but they didn't. That is why the O stayed in the game and was able to win it for us.    All those years with Peyton, that was always my complaint with the Colts D. Ravens with Flacco, Steelers with Big Ben, Patriots with Tom Brady, it didn't matter if their QB turned it over, their D was scrappy, blitzed and made it hard for the other team to cash in on a mistake by the offense. However, with Peyton's D, we were soft in a lot of big games, except for 1 AFCCG where we made stop after stop to give Peyton the ball back enough times to make a dent. Having said that, when the D kept making stop after stop in the 2008 Chargers Sproles playoff game, Peyton and the O underwhelmed in important moments. Football is truly a complementary game.   Giants shutting down the Patriots' offense when it mattered most, in a low scoring SB to prevent their perfect record or shutting them down in the 2011 SB in Indy in the entire 4th qtr. when it mattered most or the Patriots' D doing the same (shutting down the O) vs Seahawks in 2014 SB 4th qtr. and Falcons in 2014 SB 4th qtr. are perfect examples of the D keeping the O alive in the game till the QB can give them a good drive or two.   The Colts just played a thorough complementary game vs the Ravens last Sunday, like the scrappy Ds I have always yearned for, seeing the Ravens and Steelers over the years. That is the part I am most proud of. Can they reproduce that scrappiness over the course of the year, despite the O going through lulls at times? That will determine a lot.

    • I don't know if this makes sense but when a defense looks like they have more players on the field vs the offense, its always been a  sign of a good defense. They swarm to the ball. The Colts defense meets the eye test in that.
