Jim Skipper and Ricky Proehl

Quite possibly two of the best coaching hires this team has made in recent memory. We all remember the impact Skipper's departure had on Stewart and Williams as neither were happy to see him leave, especially after their record-setting year when both ran for more than 1100 yards, only to get canned less than 2 seasons later.

 

Ricky Proehl's impact on a relatively unproven group of WRs is already noticeable. I'm one of the biggest AE detractors on the planet, but if he actually develops into a serviceable WR, I'll have to ive props to he and Proehl. David Gettis showed signs last night as well, but it's early. Ricky will teach these guys how to become disciplined route runners, how to find the seams and how to sit down in a zone- attributes every WR on this team not named Steve Smith was lacking.

 

If we see a couple WRs have breakout years while Stewart and Williams return to form- look no further than Jim Skipper and Ricky Proehl.

Yeah, man, I know it's only one preseason game, but between what we've heard from camp, and seeing a rookie RB seemingly fix his biggest flaw in such a short time, as well as seeing a couple of projects at WR actually showing signs of life and turning the corner in a real-game environment speaks volumes as to receiving great coaching.

      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).
