Can Jimmy Clausen read a defense?


Awesomeness!!

Recommended Posts

After the Arizona game (and anytime Cam struggles) the pundits take to twitter about how his struggles are due to his "lack of understanding" or similar verbiage. Even a guy like RG3, who was hailed as not only super athletic, but a smart guy coming out of college had people question his intellect after ever bad play. However, I don't think there was a single inquiry into rather of not Pickles sucked because he just simply had no idea what was going on out there. Yeah, he has a noodle arm, and yeah, he was scurred, but did he ever go through his progressions? Did he ever audible to a better play? Did he ever look off a defender? Did anybody ever ask any of these questions?

i doubt he could. actually i doubt he did. he seems to be a one read wonder. unlike the scramblers, he'd throw it away if the one read was not found in fear pressure. this is why you don't throw a young qb in too early. Fox ruined him. it turned him into a final product David Carr!

    • Decided last minute to to take family to game.  Cheap tickets sec 134 (which is kindof sad in of itself) made the 10 hour roundtrip and glad as hell I did.   - Defense played out of their mind.  Mike Jack smithwade looking at you -Penix is fuging terrible, not worried about him at all - Falcons, wtf were you doing, running when you should be passing and vice versa.  Why the fug didnt you run the ball on us?  - Canales, I get you are green but damn man tighten up your time management  - We won so not going to bag on Bryce too much but yeah man to argue he isnt limited is lol funny - We finally have a kicker and that feels kindof good all things considered - someone earlier mentioned tepper and we didnt see him in the box the entire game, not sure what thats about -Chubba, Sanders and Tet took some absolute monster shots and popped back up, not sure how they do it because it sounds horrific.  Chubba took one right in front of us and he got up laughing.  wow  
    • My exact list for the shout outs in the same order (though I admittedly had the rookie edges @ #4 and Fitz @ #1)
    • Yesterday was also the first time we saw all three phases of this team play complimentary football during not just Canales' tenure but Young's as well. While he didn't have to light it up through the air, he did spread the ball around to nine different players. TMac's drops hurt, but the team was able to rally still thanks to the defense finally getting to play with a lead. Plus, TMac still had his positive moments like the catch and run as well as the poster-shot he created by climbing the ladder. I hope that this lit a fire under XL. With Tremayne's emergence and Coker coming back from IR in the next 1 - 3 weeks there is going to be less patience with his issues. Let's not forget though the most important thing to watch for: how XL responds to the adversity. Nobody is going to have a perfect career, but how they handle the down lows will be what gives them a chance to get back to experiencing the highs again.
