Lindley's eyes


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

The pre-game shows hit on his tendency to stare down receivers.  One his last pass that was tipped by 59 and picked by Tre, he never went through a progression.  As soon as the ball was snapped he found his target and watched it run all the way into the endzone and then he threw it.  Good stuff Zod.

I feel kind of bad for him. He's a terrible NFL QB but he got thrust into a position in these playoffs that he shouldn't have been put into. Cardinals would've been smart to go for someone like Grossman or really anybody else.

Arians did a fantastic job in the first half of managing the game and not allowing lindley to make passes that had a chance to get picked.

Of course, this game plan only worked as long as we kept beating ourselves. Once we figured things out and forced Arizona to play from down multiple possessions and throw downfield the floodgates opened and the game was virtually over aside from occasional Panthers miscues down the stretch.

Very grateful that we came away with the win. However AZ had no business being in that game SPECIFICALLY after we were up 10-0.  Everyone knew that if the Lindley that we were hoping for showed up there was no way they could play catch up.

    • I see they blamed Slavin for the goal like I did. 
    • See this is the problem, you say "can't get off the line quick" and "can't separate quick" but in reality it's "he can get off the line better and create more separation" which are two completely different things. If he couldn't get off the line or separate, he wouldn't have put up the numbers he did and end up a Top 10 pick. But he can get better, and maybe more accurately, consistent with them both, and that will take his game to the next level.  These are things that are also much easier to improve once you get to the NFL than things like being a poor route runner or having bad hands, two of his strengths. Thinking he can't get open in the short passing game also shows you haven't watched enough tape on him, as he was used in that role so much in college with little issue getting open and making plays. And him not using his physicality as much isn't even something that hurts his game because he's so much more agile than a player of his size should be, which he used to his advantage.  Instead of throwing passes where he'd go up and box out a player like a TE or Mike Evans does, they use his athleticism and put the ball in places that only he can get to it, and he usually does (and yes, he'll still be able to do that against NFL DB's with his catch radius). But now that he's in the NFL, I'd like to see him get stronger and add that to his game because it also will help him take his game to another level. As I've said before, if he doesn't improve on those things at all, I think he's a Top 25 WR in this league, he's already that good.  But I think he'll improve on those things and be a perennial Top 10 WR and in his prime is considered and perform like Top 5 guy in some years. My expectations for him this year at 800 yards and 8 TDs (although I do think he'll get to 10 TDs) with a real chance at getting to 1,000.  But those expectations are because I think Thielen will lead the team in yards with close to 1k and XL/Coker each end up in the 500-600 range themselves, just too many mouths to feed this year for a rookie to dominate yardage, especially if we're running the ball well again. But if Thielen can't stay healthy or puts up sub 750 yards, then yea, my expectations for T-Mac likely shift to getting to 1k as a rookie.
