A word on sacks


lightsout

Recommended Posts

Some people in the game thread have this idea that EVERY throw has to be within three seconds. No. It doesn't. Because not every play is a quick hitter. Some require time to open up. 

 

Sacks were not on Cam. The first, Kalil got destroyed off the edge. Another, Williams got destroyed. 

 

Blame Shula for putting this offense in terrible situations where it's obvious we're passing, allowing the d to pin their ears back and come after the pass rush. It's not about Cam holding the ball forever. If you think that, find the coaches film and please point out the obvious open receiver that Cam failed to see fast enough. Until then, don't talk football if you don't know football.

 

Funny thing is, some of you saying Cam was holding the ball too long were defending Matt Kalil last week when I said he was inconsistent and getting worked.

If this were true then all the sacks would have been within 2 seconds or less.  But at least two were closer to 4 seconds of Cam standing still in a pocket collapsing around him after 3+ seconds, including one of them that contributed to falling out of FG range

Find the open receiver. Sack is better than throwing into coverage

    • I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.   
    • Aho and Jarvis just gripping it too tight right now. Relax, play their 200 ft game and the shots will start to find the net. Freddie has been excellent and welcome back Mista Svechnikov. Burns.....well, thank goodness for Slavin.
    • Supposedly he plans on staying in college for all 4 years.
