@michaelps2k If he’s in 2..a quick out is taken away instantly as he anticipates jumping the ball path..and still has the ability to read the corner route and sink to aid deep half When the foot is planted and the eyes flip back to ball, the defender knows where he’s gotta be in coverage.
@michaelps2k I stay away from any and all “you don’t know ball” bickers lol.. just a mediated chime in. Was it going to him was it not, I wouldn’t insist I know for a fact. I like to think a respectable coach would yank a guy if he sloths a route and left my QB having to hold the ball longer
@michaelps2k But delaying a route, regardless of how it appears from a broadcast POV..is certainly a tactic that can be necessary in a “high low” regression. The thinking behind it is hold the CB, stale his read and delay his commit to coverage. If it’s a 3..it holds him from sinking to deep
@Clam_Fan@nflrums But that being said, the total contract value and Avg/year dollar figure is misleading. It’s wild how and what can be done in the contract to manipulate the surface value at signing vs the actual value. Guartd $ isthe only number that matters. Back end cap can always be redone
@Clam_Fan@nflrums Unfortunately that’s the nature of market when it comes to QB’s. I mean look at the top 10, 7-8 of their cap hit, apy, and every number with a $ in front, is crazy when you weigh the past production to market value, or expected return on such an investment
@KenWeinmanSport Pickens may finish the year with more yards than those 4 receivers…combined! While Ojabo, due to the injury he had when we drafted him, has been active for one game, before returning to the inactives. EDC values picks..but 45 picks in 4 drafts..one Pro Bowler..Duv as a returner
@KenWeinmanSport EDC traded Brown for solid value, okay..didn’t fill the void in the draft bc he was content with the 4 other WR’s he drafted in Bateman, Duv, Proche, Wallace, bold..but okay. Notably passing on Pickens and drafting an injured Ojado, sure okay..TBD. Now time hop to the present..
@JaredmV44 @MPaul888 If it goes accordingly, they burn their final TO, we get a chance to punch it in 3rd and Goal from the 3. If we fell short and settled for a FG on 4th. They get the ball back down 2 with :23 and no TO’s. No guarantee we stop them in that scenario either obvi
@JaredmV44 @MPaul888 100% right on the D’s failure to get it done, scoring there or not. Don’t disagree that you wouldn’t pass on taking points generally. Everything is hindsight, but here I do think going down would have put us in a more favorable position
@XavierXanderdad @ravens4dummies Sure that’s absolutely true, but how do you fix those units at this point? Players will be returning from injury, but there isn’t anyone coming through the door to improve those, has to be done internally through scheme and technique. OBJ could at least improve our best unit
@BrownsFreak51 Out of curiosity, why do say that? I’m not totally up to speed on the contract or cap stipulations for a team claiming him. Is that your reason, or is it more of the toxic ex-gf bias? lol. Best of luck
