Something that amazes me is how insanely open these Packers WRs are. I saw the same phenomenon on some of the plays with with the Texans in the regular season.

Seeing the Panthers struggle so much with separation and seeing other teams have dudes almost all alone on a section on the field makes me blame the offensive scheme a LOT. Theres not THAT much of a difference in separation just from raw speed alone. 

Its LaFleur & Stenavich. They come from the offensive philosophy of Shannahan & McVay. Rooted in Bill Walsh.

It's all footwork & timing. Receivers are choreographed to break into a defense's openings based on film & tendencies. Up to the QB to hit that back foot & hitch while trusting the receiver will be open at the exact time the coach has designed it.

This is why QBs like Montana, Gannon & Cousins replace DeBerg, George & Griffin.

The Baltimore we saw today will roll these teams.  

Took you long enough to come to this conclusion?

 

I knew that contract and nobody showing interest would fuel Lamar Jackson. He's playing with a point to prove. Ravens defense has always been pretty good. It's why I had them winning it all before the season.

 

Listen to me folks I know football!

    • The majority of NFL draft picks don't play all too many snaps lined up directly across from another NFL player, and I don't think many people really realize this. Unless you play a game against one of the 2-4 schools that are putting half their lineup into the NFL each season, most teams who have multiple draft picks, MIGHT only have 2-4 draft picks in any given season. Some skill positions get around 30 players drafted each year, other positions are in the teens to low 20's.  With at least a handful of them coming from non power conference schools too.  So the odds for any WR or CB to get too many games lined up directly against another future draft pick is pretty low. The better odds are that they get lined up against a future NFL player, i.e. a junior or senior WR getting lined up against a freshman or sophomore DB who will get drafted in a couple of years. Then if you take it one step further and look for players who actually play in the NFL and make a difference.   You're basically looking at players drafted in the first 3 rounds of the draft, so a little less than 100 players a year, spread out across all the positions and conferences (which in today's massive conferences, teams have even lower odds of player the teams with more NFL players than ever before).
    • I'm glad they did. Hopefully Colorado can win game 7
    • Geez, I'm shocked SS would do such a thing. Always seemed like a nice guy, guess not.
