Captain's Pass Interference Penalties

I love them. Usually, pass interference calls are a negative and a sign of poor positioning in coverage. But, I just wanted to bring this up b/c I don't know if anyone else has noticed that all of Capt's penalties have been less than 10 yards IIRC.

I think he's drawn one every game except yesterday... The reason I like them is b/c he has usually drawn them against big receivers. I could be wrong, but one that sticks out was against Roy Williams in the Cowboys game. I think he did it against the Fitzgerald in the Cards game, and possibly Jenkins vs ATL the first game...

To me, it really shows his intelligence. He's sending those guys a message when he does it. I remember one vividly... The WR was trying to run a slant route and tried to cut inside on him. Capt was wrestling him the whole way on the press, when the WR tried to box him out and the pass was coming, Capt jumped all over his back and did everything he could to make sure the pass was never caught.

Like I said, I just love it b/c I think it sends a message. He's scrappy. I believe our opponents have picked up a first down or two on the calls, but the reason they have been a positive IMO, is b/c he ensures by doing it that they won't get a bigger play than 5 yards or so. Anyone else see the method to his madness?

Gamble pass interference call was sooooooooooooooooo wack

He jammed within 5 yards and Roddy lost his footing and fell, and he got the call

I hate atl

That was a really bad call. Another sissy ass call I am really starting to hate is that hit to the knees of a QB call. Brayton got slapped with it yesterday and I've seen it happen in other games around the NFL. Possibly the stupidest penalty in the NFL.

I saw this tendency back in training camp and predicted that he would have trouble avoiding pass interference penalties. Unlike some others I don't think it is a sign of intelligence nor something we need to be excited about. I will agree that I like his willingness to be aggressive and compete for the ball. But his technique is too unrefined and obvious. He lines up often 3 or 4 yards off the line and engages the receiver at the 5-10 yard mark. He often comes over the top of the receiver and mugs him with poor timing and technique. Other times to forgets to look back for the ball to at least appear to be going for the ball.

Don't get me wrong, I think he has a future here and I prefer his physical style to the old "stay back and shadow the receiver" from a distance approach. But he obviously plays like a rookie and his penalties are too obvious to not call.

With time he wil learn to bump more off the line and stay with the receiver while timing his moves to arrive with the ball instead of mugging him the whole time. He will learn to read the receiver and quarterback and anticipate where the throw is going. And will time he will make more use of gamefilm to study his opponent in order to understand what is going to happen based on the formation, down and distance.

What second rounder? Martin who is starting at free safety? He shares time with another 7th rounder -CJ WIlson. He will play because he is aggressive but anyone can see he needs work and will get better with time. Reminds me of Ricky Manning, Jr.

tI see better improvement and more focus so far out of Capt thanI did out of Manning Jr.

Being of a relatively small stature, Manning's best attribute was his aggressiveness. When the NFL began to emphasize the 5-yard no contact rule in '04, Manning wasn't able to play receivers to his strength. Munnerlyn is a bigger guy and doesn't have to be as physical as Manning did to be effective.

Or perhaps it had something to do with a training camp injury to Martin that limited his exposure to the coaching staff...

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
