I don't get it either. And both moving him in a no-huddle almost
certainly be a cool thing to do, and to do it on a opening offensive
possession. Fuck this shit of always going for the defense to open the
game with. Have some faith in the offense too. Man up and change up,
Rex. Let the O set the tone.
Or not.

I don't know that I would say that Cumberland was the key to ALL OF
THIS, but you hit on one big key - viable two pass catching TE sets.
Cumberland HAS to become a presence. Look at the TEs in NE, for
example. Very effective weapons for Brady.
We still need a Welker. Could McKnight=Woodhead? Ground and pound this!
And I think, unlike Papa, that there were more than a few perimeter
plays that worked, especially from LT, even though perimeter passes to
Mason didn't always get completed.
Do they have a scheme that develops? Traps will always set up the primeter
game, mostly because the LB will read that guard and fill to where he thinks
the trap is and when that back he expects to be the ball carrier blocks him
the rest of the play continues to develop...tha's how I would set it up.
Then, the bootleg works better in any version of it....ALL play action works
better and any rollout passes become effective. The key is tomake multiple
things all look the same at the start...that's how I would do it.
Are the guards critical? Moore seems to be able to move. You know my
thoughts on Slausson.
meaning on moving the pocket..can you do it with one guard with feet
(sorry Michael)
Schaub moves like a garbage truck & rolls out to the left on play
action quite a bit. The Texans line is a good unit but probably not
better than ours. I have to imagine Sanchez speed has to help.
Wouldn't the fear of him taking off make it that much more effective?
I am curios as to what the PC has to say.
It's not just move...move and play football too...move and pick up the right
block. They don't use a lot of pulling guards I'm thinking so they have
some bias against getting the guys in motion I'd think. I think Slausson
was a big step backwards, maybe he will develop...but they need players and
not development projects to win now.
I don't know...I'm only familiar with what I know...and it means the group
all knows what they are doing...somebody on that backside has to pull and
pick stuff off.
Now I'm confused...attacking the "ends" that is way different than moving
the pocket. Sanchez appears to be able to move, and throw on the move so
that's why you want to be able to move the pocket...and the key in it is
picking up the right people, not just moving, you don't just move and stay
engaged with the guy in front of you, they won't cooperate like that and
somebody on the backside away from the drift needs to pull and pick stuff
off. If I recall correctly, teams with somewhat undersized O linemen like
to do this, keep it moving and it can wear out a D line too.
I don't think they want Sanchez taking off...that's why they ran all that
Wildcat stuff....it's a strange offense and as I go back and look more and
more it looks somewhat different quite often. I think they fear Sanchez
getting hurt too much to let him attack the perimeter....watching Sunday
night a second time makes me feel like in the first half a lot of stuff got
blown up before it got started...I honestly don't know what some of it was,
but it looks like the O line is not a speedy bunch at all.
do you remember the o-lines that denver had when elway won the
superbowl ??? the line was one of the most mobile i can recall. all
sorts of post snap motion that shadowed elway as he rolled. i also
recall those guys throwing low blocks on defenders regularly. it was
a really high tech line.
