Well, according to my understanding of the rules, a QB can be treated as a runner in read option plays. That is unless he quickly after faking the handoff actually changes stance and goes to the act of throwing the ball. This is a direct quote from the rulebook digest: "Any offensive player...

Re: Tebow must be cut after preseason I can give you some speculations on that bolded question. Brady and Mallet cannot simulate read option plays that are getting more and more common in the NFL. There are some real competitive teams that run these types of plays, such as Seahawks, 49ers...

Re: Bill belichick hints at running wildcat (in practice) and why patriots have tim t I see 3 ways he could contribute during the regular season: 1) With large margin lead, he could be effective in grinding down the clock in the 4th quarter. If this is something he could excel at, then I...

Re: Bill belichick hints at running wildcat (in practice) and why patriots have tim t I don't think we will be running wildcat once the season is underway. BB is all about preparations, and I have had this feeling for a while that Tebow is here only to simulate some option plays that guys...

Now this is all ASSUMING that he actually belongs to our plans somehow. If he is a training camp body or someone we just want to "take a look at", then this conversation is useless in its entirety. However, if he was signed under the assumption that he would be in the 53 player roster, then...

That is pretty much what I do every time I create a new thread. Getting carried away with a subject easily causes exaggeration which in turn makes your opinions and observations seem more radical than they are intended to be. Luckily these are forum threads, not newspaper columns or such, so...

Thank you for sharing this very interesting information. However, I do not see evidence indicating dissension, only disagreement. Eventually, scouts are responsible for the references and analysis they make, not the choices the team makes. The brain trust is responsible for making the final...

Not wanting to discredit the study or anything, but I wonder if they have valued the positions the same way NFL does? QB is the most highly valued position in the drafts, followed by OT and DE. But those three are ALWAYS valued higher than other positions. In fact, the last time the 1st...

I would only carry 5 if the flexibility (regarding skillsets and injury backups) would be well planned. Vereen has a clear role, as does Ridley. Washington is also extremely usable because our special teams and the return players did not exactly have a great season last year. I was looking...

That's just sugarcoating of the real reason. Any footballer (or industrial cleaner) with half a brain would fire their agents had they been assigned to work for the Jets organization.

To me, this prediction made by Matthew Jones does not seem very realistic for few reasons: 1) He excludes few of BB's DL project players (Cunningham, Deaderick, Francis), and BB has a history of being stubborn with these types of projects. I could imagine that both Deaderick and Cunningham HAVE...

I remember the Favre hit... ...and then for some reason, then 2011 season opener against the Phins stuck on my head. We put great pressure on Henne (over 50% of passing downs were recorded at least as hurried) and Pryor had an awesome game despite only recording half a sack. I propably...

Someone could remind him this: A certain Scott Kacsmar is mentioned as source in Pro-Football-Reference on some reasearch on certain players playoff comebacks and game winning drives. Peyton Manning has 1, I MEAN ONE, playoff comeback and a game winning drive, both in 2006, I'm guessing the...

I'm not sure that BB is as calculating as you think about when and where he says that. BB is honest with his comments but in a careful way. No doubt that he thinks TB is the GOAT, but doesn't wanna say that out loud, because he knows well that saying it has no upside and the downside is that...

Peyton is a great quarterback and will go down in history as one of the best passers ever, but the eternal media debate of "Manning vs Brady" should be a non-contest by now. There is no more compelling evidence of Mannings ineptness in the clutch and his lack of outspoken leadership/control...

I think there was one major reason why this year became the year of the Rookie QBs in the national media, outside of the talent of those rookies. The mindset for rookie players has always been this, with few exceptions: "how well can the player adapt to the pro system?". Last year, Ron Rivera...

Seattle contained Aldon Smith, and they had help from us in two ways: 1) SF was tired (they played 92 snaps of defense against us) 2) Justin Smith (who helps Aldon Smith's pass rushing tremendously) was sidelined due to injury suffered against us, so Seattle didn't have account for him...

Yeah even though I would prefer the 4th seed over the 3rd, there is a chance that when we step on the field we are locked to the 3rd seed at worst (if the Bengals win Ravens). I think next Sunday's game scheduling favours us greatly. Two of the three decisive games by our competition...

And if Bengals beat the Ravens at 1 PM?

Yeah, the team is depleted of talent, yet they have next to no cap space and the situation is only getting worse next year. Good job on cap management Tannenbaum.
