Week 15: Dolphins at Bills on Saturday Night Football
EmotionallyUnstable replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall
Regarding @Beck Waterand @Patrick Duffy conversation discussing Zimmer and potentially intercepting information from audible or verbiage at the LOS. I can speak to this a bit from my own experience. Often times teams employ an indicator within a cadence similar to baseball. Generally it has some sort of deeper meaning to help drive home comprehension and retention for players. Indicators can change each week, each series or even each play. So you can hear all the names and numbers all you want, but if you do not know the indicator, you cannot figure out what specifically prompted that play call. One easy example and well known in my circle is something along the lines of “Washington 310, 278….” The word Washington, as in the first president, means we are running the first call (310). On the next play, you may change the indicator such as “416 Hamilton, Hamilton” as in a man who was never a president. This is a dummy call. Carry on with the play call from the huddle. There are limitless variations of ways guys mask calls. One example that would be relative to Zimmer would be a fold block (pin and pull, as it’s known these days). An OL may decide a theme for these things, such as “dance” or “colors” or “candies” at the beginning of the year. Generally you’d carry that theme for as long as you feel it is working. Let’s say they went with “dance”…you may have a play call where defensive alignment confuses the OL so communication is necessary. The RT calls “Tango” to indicate, “hey, block down and I’ll pull around.” Next series, the same fold call may be “waltz, waltz” You see and hear a lot of this stuff across the league, like almost any obvious passing down a QB telling his line “Roger” or some variation of a work with R…generally you’ll get the line sliding right. It’s really, REALLY difficult to pick up on this stuff. The game happens so quick, and there is continuous information flowing in from the sidelines as guys are sucking air and trying to read pre-snap ques. Sometimes offenses don’t even care if they know the call, in certain situations. I also am not worried about Zimmer. What is more worrisome would be physical tells, alignments, habits, that can generally be subconscious, yet give away hints to the defense. I played on a really great option football team, and I remember vividly a game where we could NOT find any success to my side. By the end of the game, the MLB was calling it out pre-snap. “It’s off tackle here!” Turns out, after a bit of a self-scout, I had all season been slightly widening my split on options/outside zones after my initial stance. What a dumb dumb I was and I didn’t even realize it. NFL players and coaching staffs are experts and preventing these and finding them. As far as the language component, I don’t think it’ll be a factor at all. Just my 2 cents -

DaQuan Jones Appreciation Thread
EmotionallyUnstable replied to EmotionallyUnstable's topic in The Stadium Wall
Yes agreed just not at the same level IMO. I did not expect Lawson to be nearly as impactful, and I think a lot of it is due to necessity because of injuries but there is no doubt he is playing some good ball. Jones is on a different level. He’s taking a ton of snaps and is a force. -

DaQuan Jones Appreciation Thread
EmotionallyUnstable replied to EmotionallyUnstable's topic in The Stadium Wall
Another week, another below the radar performance that was impactful beyond the box score. This guy continues to be a monster. I am admittedly VERY critical of this past offseason’s moves. But this one was a stellar signing at a minimal price. -
Roster Moves to Sign Brown & Beasley to the 53?
EmotionallyUnstable replied to Warriorspikes51's topic in The Stadium Wall
I mean, Cam Lewis? Come on. But is there a reason to sign either if they can elevate them from the PS? -
Life is simple. Don’t mistake that for it being easy.

Can you believe it’s been nearly a full calendar year (January 15th, Tommy Doyle) since our last Big Man TD? We are clearly overdue. Post your prediction for the next Big Man to catch a TD. I’ll go first: Spencer Brown. He’s been setting this up all season IMO. The way he lets the DEs just run the wheel on him at will is just BEGGING for a tackle eligible screen. You heard it here first.

I think that is the stretched truth. It isn’t proven anywhere and in fact appears by historical records to be inaccurate.Skip to slide 37 for the records. -

I had a shake shack burger in an airport once that caused me to change my shorts. Best burger ever and totally worth the felany. -
Updated Beasley signing to practice squad
EmotionallyUnstable replied to Niagara Dude's topic in The Stadium Wall
I certainly would have. There are no better options now. That doesn’t make it a good option. Taking the best available at this point and relying on him to play a meaningful role, is the problem in the first place. The fact that they are in this situation is the issue. -
Bills can clinch a playoff spot this week

1 win away from a guaranteed HOME playoff game, worst case scenario? Despite all my heavy criticisms, good stuff Bills! -
Updated Beasley signing to practice squad
EmotionallyUnstable replied to Niagara Dude's topic in The Stadium Wall
If he signs, it’ll just be yet another half-assed 11th hour attempt to try and provide Allen with someone decent who likely won’t make a noticeable mark. Even if he could, and I’m not sure he physically can, is he what Dorsey’s offensive scheme is missing? Its uninspiring -

I think he was only on the practice squad, and I’m not sure if that makes any difference -
