Re: Bye week thoughts....
1. Glad you brought this up. From what I've seen of Denver's zone blocking ours is unrecognizable to my untutored eye. It looks more like a rugby scrum, with Maroney making yards only if he manages to get in the middle. More often he gets cut down by someone looping around the backside or cutting through the hole left by a pulling guard. Not sure that's all his fault. Lately, if there's a clear hole, he hits it.
2. Big 10-4 on this one too. Stallworth won't stay for the same reason Chad JOhnson won't come here. Chad JAckson. Going to be a little pain getting there, but our CJ is going to be like Andrew Cromartie on offense, IMO. IIRC, he's still the youngest guy on the team.
3. An amazing athelete. Going back to an old thread about comparing players to dog breeds ( off-season insanity) he's definitely a greyhound. Love how he pulled away from the CB after catching #50.
4.a. Sorry, but no. We're the best at clock management. It would level the playing field on one of the best advantages we have.
b. No again. There'd be a pig pile on every tackle. Much more chance of injury.
c. BB is right. Put a camera on each end of the goal line. Current practice is devoted to keeping the game in the hands of the officials rather than the players.
d.i. So if the ball is uncatchable, the DB can mug the receiver?
ii. OK if the call is reviewable.
e. Legalize hand-fighting? Our receiving corps won't be helped by this change. IMO, we're becoming, WR-wise, more like the Colts and they're becoming more like we used to be. BB adjusts to play within the rules. Our new field is built for speed as is our WR corps.
f. meh
