One play isn't a sign of a weakness; it's a sign of not responding properly on one play. It happens. "Once is an accident, twice is curious, three times is a pattern."we all watched him... he is a BEAST, however he has a weakness and I want to see if anyone else picked up on it? It is a very small sample (1 play) and it makes me wonder if he can play power football? The guy is an absolute STUD when chasing somebody down!!! However I might have exploited his fatal flaw (not that it is gonna hurt his stock by any means).
Did you all notice when someone directly came at him he struggled mightly? Like i said it is merely 1 play. We should keep an eye on this going forward. I just wanted to mention this for future analysis. Anyone else pick up on this?
Dollars to donuts that if this was a significant, recurring problem, it would have been observed before now. In which case, you'd have seen a lot more of it last night when he was on the field.TheSolderKing said:all I care about is this year. He wasn't this noticeable before.
But that's exactly the problem. You can't diagnose anything off of one play. Before you can say something's a weakness, you want to establish a pattern. I'm not motivated enough to watch out for it—just because there are too many other things going on during a football game, and, based on a sample size of a single play, I don't think most people are going to want to spend the entire game watching what #52 is doing to see if there's a flaw in his game.all i'm saying man is lets keep an eye on this... is it bad of us to look @ this so we can surmise that if it becomes or doesn't become a problem? I stated that it was "merely 1 play" lets look to see if it becomes a trend or not? is that to difficult? I ain't hatin I'm just curious.
Clearly you were starved for attention as a child. I am giving myself 2 demerits and fining myself this evening's desert for merely responding to this ludicrous thread. Come back to us when you discover the "fatal flaw" in Tom Brady which caused him to throw that pick in the Jets playoff game last season.
Fletcher's looking pretty good, that's for sure. He's great against the run with his ability to disengage and recognition. That d-line experience shows. Still shows great closing burst and good angles, although I would have liked to see him playing normal run techniques more. They sent him quite a bit.
In the passing game you can see pretty clearly that he needs more snaps. He was thinking through his assignments instead of settling hinto his zone and just reacting. You could tell the multiplayer crossing routes confused him and made him want to run with someone. Cost him a few shots and picks or deflections. Not a bad thing, just an experience issue.
Guyton, OTOH looked horrible against 2nd teamers. I wouldn't be surprised if he was on the bubble or relegated to special teams.
Well said, sir.
But you should really reconsider the desert.
