Stork not at practice today (Friday Oct 10)

maybe we can trade a 4th rounder for larry fitzgerald, and then trade larry fitzgerald for the browns starting center.

Yeah...no way a concussion has been confirmed...right?

Wendell's not going to be blocking a still-recovering player who's not gained back the speed that made him a tough player to block.

Devey/Kline/Cannon make the idea of shotgun a dicey one, as well.


Line play should be very interesting this weekend.

Or, we could trade Mallet for the Browns' starting center and their next 2 #1 picks...oh, wait...

Eh, we'll be okay, so long as the coaches don't overreact schematically (like in KC, where they ran 3/4 of 1st-half snaps out of the gun). If no Stork, I'm thinking Kline - Wendell - Connolly on the interior. (Idk, maybe Cannon plays better at RG than he did at LG, and that keeps Kline/Devey off the line.) Just no Devey please - coaching staff clearly has clearly had him rated above Kline to this point, but I would think we've seen quite enough of that for one year.

Might give up 3 or 4 sacks, but it's not like Orton is going to be torching our D either.

Pounding the ball is out spreading them out as I suggested is now the best option.

Oh great. Just like the last two times in Miami.

By this point, I think everyone knows what that prescription brings.

Folks: In their last 12 games, the Patriots:

5 Convincing Wins:
Baltimore: 34 Run - 26 Pass
Buffalo: 43 Run - 24 pass
Indy: 46 Run - 25 pass
Minn: 37 Run - 21 Pass
Cincy: 46 Run-35 pass

3 Omigod Too Close Vs. Crap Competition Wins
Houston: 27 Run - 41 Pass
CLE: 21 Run - 52 Pass
Oakland: 32 Run - 37 Pass

4 losses
Miami: 21 Run - 55 Pass
Denver: 16 Run - 38 Pass
Miami: 20 Run - 56 Pass
KC: 16 Run - 30 Pass


Now! Anyone here STILL want to advocate for going into Buffalo shotgun passing all day?

I think it's Ebola:

Ben Volin ✔ @BenVolin
Weird week for Bryan Stork. Had no issues on Wednesday, limited with a Concussion on Thursday, did not practice Friday. Questionable

zOMG!!! Who's gonna deliver on Sunday?

What if i told you, Teams that are in the lead tend to run the ball more to run out the clock?

just giving the end results doesnt help.

you need to break it down by Quarter and score. At what point did the pats start running alot in the convincing wins? At what point did they abandon the run in the losses?

Look at both Miami losses.

Look at the ridiculous Oakland game.

When it comes to running the football, Shmessy ignores the difference between correlation and causation.

Cute cliche you always repeat regarding that.

I presented facts.

Everyone reading this thread can see that.

I would say a good mix, with play action passes thrown in would do well.

This IS a good run D they are going up against and we all know Spikes' strength. A balanced attack without the McDaniels/Brady 65-70% pass panic attack.

You presented raw numbers, nothing more.

As for that "cute cliche", you prove it true with your posts.

You want "raw numbers"? Standings, Score of games, Wins, Super Bowls, etc.

Data counts.

Are you going to offer anything of value to the conversation or just sniff with your cliches?

If it was a concussion he couldnt practice today per the new protocol correct?

Still a possibility that he passes the tests tomorrow or sunday though. Or am I incorrect?

Data, the way you used it, is just about meaningless. As for what I'm offering, I'm offering a response to your inability to differentiate between correlation and causation.

That would be my guess. I mean if there was no chance he could play BB would have ruled him out.
