Isn't he a 3-4 DT? I mean its not impossible for him to come here especially since Maake came here and he was at one time a 3-4 DT. But someone with more football knowledge would we run the same DT technique that Fox used or another one with our new DC?

I'm pretty sure that Baltimore was a 4-3 when Maake left. As big as he was, he didn't play up to his size. He had pretty bad leverage.

Were they? Would make more sense, I just assumed because of the way Ray said he was mad that they let him walk because of the way he took on defenders for him and helped him make all those plays.

I remember when Ray said that and I almost took it to mean he wasn't impressed with Maake. He was making those statements before free agency started and before he decided to leave. He was saying he hadn't been playing well becuase he didn't have good DTs.

They ended up with Ngata in that draft and he was a significant upgrade to Kemo. I wanted Ngata in that draft badly.

I'm not sure what system he played in matters, in his case, the transition would not be difficult. Being 34, that would be his problem coming here.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
