Our line played horribly against the bills so it could happen

 

against buffalo and seattle we were facing mobile quarterbacks against which the defensive line was coached to crash the backfield first, diagnose second, with the goal of simply disrupting the play. these types of breakdowns are more escapable for mobile quarterbacks who are more likely to make a play by either escaping the pressure and running or gaining time to hit an open man. to this end we were also playing a cautionary contain strategy against wilson and manuel.

 

with eli we saw a different strategy, and i don't think it just worked because the giants line is bad (they aren't world-beaters but they aren't as bad as advertised.) our next four quarterbacks are carson palmer, christian ponder, sam bradford, and mike fuging glennon (followed by matt ryan, who, while the most dangerous of the group, is just as immobile as the worst of them.)

 

i expect this defensive line to get hot quick.

Good post, Phil.

 

My only disagreement is I don't think Jerry's commitment to win is 'newfound'.  People that have worked with him would tell you he's always wanted to win.  I'd say he just hasn't done very well at knowing how to make it happen.

 

Having Gettleman around should be a huge plus on that front.

 

While his commitment to winning has always been, its possible he now realizes his personal involvement has a positive impact on everyone.

 

It was really strange watching him walk around the field and so close to the players doing the drills. I've never seen him do that. The players definitely noticed him. He pulled Charles Johnson aside and spoke to him. Not sure what he said.

management by walking around. it can have a very positive effect on the employees.

 

i hope he keeps it up. i'm sure it would mean a lot to the players for him to do that, although i know he's kind of limited in his ability to do that all the time.

years down the road i think we'll look back and realize this is the moment when cam had a paradigm shift as far as his role on the team and perception versus reality. that thomas davis story about the weight room speaks volumes and makes sense of cam's personality as an introvert and how it's affected his interpersonal relationship with the team. i think it's clear he's broken away from that, has learned what it takes to lead a group of men, has learned how to be one of the guys while also standing out as a leader.

 

can't wait to see what happens the rest of the year

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Yards a game works better over a longer period of time as well. Averages always work out over the long run. The smaller the sample size the easier it is to skew. Also opponents matter more when the size is small. Player 1 lights up 2 bad defenses in 4 starts vs Player 2 playing 10 games vs multiple defenses. It hard to make it apples to apples how it currently sits. Remember during Bryce’s little run last year how annoyed you were when people were pulling Bryce’s starts from week 9 on vs the whole season.

      Someone else claimed I said EVERY.  Literally in my post breaking it down it gave Bryce TDs per game.   Shough however has the majority in his favor if just looking at starts. whats subjective about comp %, yards, QB ratings and turnovers?  Now I guess the argument one might make off them could be subjective.  But all I’m saying is statistically as a starter he has been better this year overall.  I don’t think Shough is great.  I think he is impressive based on the situation.  2nd rounder stepping in on a bad team.   And he like so many other QBs…..serves as little red flag going off about what we are doing here offensively.

      Player A - 2 starts.  200 yards in each start. He averages 200 yards a game.  Player B - 1 start.  Throws for 400 yards.  Comes in another random game and has 1 pass attempt on a Hail Mary to end the game that goes incomplete.   Now given the random game he appeared for a snap, he averages 200 yards a game. Thats why you isolate starts. If you are talking starter vs someone who began as a backup.  Simple made up numbers/situations to illustrate the point.
