apparently this is a different article. sorry for the kinda repost

“He's just so explosive,” said Testaverde. “He's quick to hit the hole, strong to the hole and nobody is catching him from behind.

"He reminds me of two great backs, Emmitt Smith and Barry Sanders.

Put those two together and I think you have a DeAngelo Williams. In my eyes, he has the potential to be a really good back for a really long time.”

Reason to make sure your team has plenty of veterans to impart wisdom to the younger guys. Need the leadership that comes with experience as well as guys who have been there and done that as the season concludes. Gotta be a fool to not see what Vinny did for his team and did for Jake as well. Jake's new durability seems to be a function of his increased muscle mass and improved conditioning. Jake would have to see how it worked for Vinny and through rehab had the chance to get alot stronger in his arm and body as well.Vinny's worth extended far beyond his skills on the field. What makes the best combination is a guy who has the leadership skills while he still has the physical skills to be at the peak of his career. Guys like Moose and Lucas and pro-bowlers like Beason and Smith. Got a chance to be special this year. Depends on how hungry we are. Balls to the wall.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
