I'm not by any means certain, but I thought during training camp he showed breakaway speed - and then not as much during the season.
A couple things to keep in mind: during TC, you'll piss off the coaches if you run a route with the wrong number of steps, or not flat enough, or with the wrong...
Thanks to all for your suggestions. It was MAHVELOUS! Have watched most every game on TV since Bledsoe in 2000 (jumped on the bandwagon when they were still building it). I've gone to a few games, but it had been a while since the last one, and I'd forgotten how great it is. The last real...
I don't go often but my friend has season tickets and I'm determined to see the master at work at least one more time before he retires (never know when that'll be). My friend offered this game some weeks ago and I'm sure not backing out now!
Let it rain!
Full suit of rain gear? Small umbrella (will have one anyway for walking to the car)? Poncho?
Or just t-shirt and shorts - if they can tough it out, so can I. ;)
I was thinking that, too. But as I watched the game and re-watched a few of those cover zero blitzes, it became clear that some of the blitzing DBs were watching Darnold carefully as they rushed the line to draw blockers and make lanes for other guys. And as soon as Darnold ****ed his arm...
Perhaps one of the lawyer/fans could tell us - would cutting him now, before any criminal charges have been filed or civil charges adjudicated, be a violation of his rights under the CBA. I know Hernandez was cut pretty quickly, but not sure if that was before criminal charges were filed.
Yes, but it seems this is similar to the skills a WR needs to smoothly get in and out of his breaks, so in that sense may test actual football skills better than the 40 or the bench press. Precise control over your speed to maximize sudden change of direction doesn't sounds like something you...
Here's hoping a few folks with a lot more football knowledge than me will see Ken's well-deserved retirement as a challenge. It will take more than one to fill the void. And I hope Ken finds those columns and throws in his idle two cents.
Thank you, Ken!
Excellent point. I thought more than a few of the Colts drops were forced by the close physical coverage. I (barely) remember one drop by Gilmore's receiver with Gilmore all over him and either Buck or Aikman said "he really should have had that ball". Well, maybe. Some of the drops were...
Ian, thanks for the article, real nice write-up. I'm nowhere near as good at picking up on plays as you are, but I didn't think Decker had a chance of making that catch in bounds.
I have a feeling he's going to stick on the roster despite his abysmal performances simply because of what...
I got two phone calls and an email from my brother (Eagles fan) within 15 minutes of Brady tearing his ACL. Eagles still haven't won a Superbowl. It's bad juju to cheer injuries.
I agree. He said all the right things. Plus, TEs have a harder time than receivers if they're expected to do everything a TE can do (that is, not just block and run up the seam). TE has one of the broadest scopes of any skill position on the team. If Gronk is injured, Allen could see the...
This is one of the nice stories in camp, to see a high pick in Jordan Richards (a personal binkie) have a great camp, show that he can be a factor in coverage even on a superstar TE and the good hands to pick off a few passes. He's one of the smartest and highest character guys on a team known...
