  1. flat plays are great for the red zone too, you can get hte LB caught up in traffic and its dimarco/tolbert vs a corner at the goalline.

     

    Yep.

     

    I was brought up on old split back offenses and the right FB is a killer in the short passing game

  2. usually he runs in the flat, but in man coverage you can get a LB turned around easily doing this.

     

    Definitely

     

    The typical Play to the FB is spider 2 Y banana or whatever lingo you want to use

     

    But if you switched his flat route to an angle you might catch overzealous LBrs out of position

  3. Clay isn't a tradionally huge TE, so why not use a true blocking TE type to spring 1, 2, or even 3 players off either end of the line?

    Well clay is a very good blocking TE so leaving him inline still disguises the play as a run or pass. If you flex him I would think it would tip the defense off to a pass

  4. ...EXACTLY the type of intuitive and creative stuff Dennison is capable of to speed things up and shorten TT's field progression time IMO....if that mantra works to make this offense threatening when called upon, the TT long ball will be there for the taking, which he does well....stay tuned............

    Hit em short. Him em short again and again. Then throw the pump and go

     

    Classic

  5. A staple of the Dennsion offense is the Texas concept.

     

    The concept of this route tree is to have your tight end inline and have him push vertically up the seam while the HB runs a short angle route underneath him in the unoccupied space.

     

    Charles clay and McCoy are the perfect TE / HB combination for this concept and it will wreck opposing defenses this season. It is basically an addition to the run game as it is a quick rythem play designed to get the ball into playmakers hands as soon as possible

     

    The diagram below runs it with an out but the concept is the same

     

    Shady can easily have 60+ catches

  6. the Packers were shopping him during the draft and apparently are still doing so. He had a decent grade last year. Wonder what the asking price is

    Ill Pass on brent hundley because we already have 3QBs we are trying to develop in TT, CJ, and Peterman

  7. While I thought we needed a longer corner to go opposite Darby, Tra'davious White is an excellent ball player that I believe will surpass Darby as a CB

     

    While he may not possess the blazing 4.3 time of Darby, he has had experience playing on an island, off ball, press, cover 3

     

    He sees the ball well and knows when to break it up and when to go for the pick

     

    Selfless team first player. Which IS EXACTLY what we need around here

     

    Great ST player who will add value in the punt return and gunning game

     

    Trading down , getting an extra 1ST AND the most experienced battle tested corner in the draft was a move I will applaud

  8. wtf is up with Seamus and Cesaro offering handshakes to the Hardy's for????? 2 weeks in a row, that's stupid. Sorry, though, as much as i am glad to see the Hardy's back, Matt is looking completely unfit for the WWE.

    I think they are doing that handshake thing to make shemaus and Cesaro look like decent losers until they snap at payback and cesaro makes a heel turn

  9. I appreciate that.

     

     

    where ever he goes, it doesn't seem they will throw him out there his rookie year?

     

     

     

    as you said, some time to develop and adjust to the next level would seem necessary with the little experience he gained at the college level?

    I can see him coming in and not being a dumpster fire

     

    BUT

     

    Sitting and holding a clipboard and learning the nuances of an NFL QB from the sideline is probably in his best interest

     

    Perhaps he sits a year or 2 and Comes out slinging like he did at UNC

  10. right here learning a thing or two myself along with you OldTime...thumbs%20up.gif

     

    stupid, no, not a good word to use there.

     

    you don't ask, you'll never know. some knowledgeable folks around these parts. ask, gain knowledge,

     

    I can dig that...

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    thank you for that input. could be one of those guys with the natural "it" factor?

     

     

    so do you think his limited playing time/experience can be overlooked?

     

     

     

    seems I read today the bears are looking hard at him.

    His natural talent is undeniable.

     

    Personally, I would have liked to see him stay another year and develop, but when he has a chance to go top 10 it's tough to turn that down

     

    I hope he doesn't go to the Jets. I guess that means deep down I think he has some real talent

     

    He was the #1 dual threat recruit coming out of HS

  11. good stuff...bit-thumbsup.gif

     

     

     

     

     

    of those QB prospects in the upcoming draft, which do you see having a brilliant mind?

    Two QBs who seem to have very high IQs while on the football field are Mitch Trubisky and Nathan Peterman

     

    Peterman I think is a great backup prospect who can flourish into something more perhaps give the time

     

    And Trubisky just has a good feel in the pocket and spreads the ball around with ease sometimes

     

    I worry about all of them this year but those 2 have good football IQ and play the QB position pretty well

  12. A spread offense is referred to as such because it's object is too spread you out as much as possible pre snap. A lot of 3-4-5 wide sets. BUT spread team do not necessarily mean pass heavy. You can be a running spread team

     

    Air raid is an off shoot of the spread offense. But it typically features passing at a higher rate, over 70% passing,than most offenses. It is designed to get the ball out of the QBs hand instantly.

     

    The run n shoot was a offense designed around option passing routes and Their principles from a spread offense. In principle it's passing concepts are brilliant but you need a brilliant QB with a brilliant mind like Brady or Manning or Brees to pull it off

  13. ....sure this is old school stubbornness being older than dirt, but I am reticent about any first round investment in receivers, be it WR or TE, because I have YET to be convinced TT has the gray matter ability to process the field and find guys open that we do have...convince me otherwise,,,,,,,,,,,

     

    All valid points

     

    OJ Howard is a very good blocker in the run game. Adding essentially another tackle. Add 2 TE sets with Clay (who is also a very good run blocker) and we can mask our RT weaknesses

     

    It also allows us to spread clay outside on certain packages while keeping Howard inline as a blocker/checkdown/Recieving option where TT often turns too

     

    He is also too big for safeties and too fast/smooth for 90% of LBrs

     

    Complete package and nightmare matchup that TT shouldn't even struggle to find

  14. I like both of the top guys and won't say he has a higher ceiling than them. But my bigger point is so much more important what team they go to.

    I'm honestly not sure Davis/ Williams will have better production on our team than a 4th rounder who goes to another team. And this Reynolds guy plays with an edge.

     

    Howard

    Mahomes

    Reynolds

    And the rest defensive players would be a great draft for me.

    I understand your point.

     

    There will probably be a handful of talented recievers on the board in the third and fourth round

     

    Those guys benefit the most also when they get picked up by teams with established great QBs like Pittsburgh, and New England or Green bay

  15. The thing is....when you get past your first round pick (and even then) it is a lot harder to predict what is actually gonna be on the board in those rounds....

     

    Lets say you dont take a pass catcher early......and it is absolute need......then there is a run on the position.

     

    Now your stuck because you decided to wait until the 4th round.

     

    Im all in on OJ Howard myself......

    If we go offense I hope it's Howard

     

    He would add the most versatility and upgrade our offense immediately
