That's not the point. The point is it takes that element and threat out of the game. You have to prepare for that. You don't need to spy as much (taking a guy out of coverage) when under center. You can't run play action 80% of the time. Like i said, i think somewhere in the 35-40% would be fine in a game where clock control is important. The mix Dorsey had last game was perfect.

QB Draws? Because it's not 1970 and D-linemen run 4.4 40's. Taking a 5 step drop back to a draw will not work in today's NFL.. I challenge you to find the last time a team ran a DESIGNED QB draw from under center. No one is saying they should eliminate under center. I quite literally said, I can get on board with 35-40%. You also have to realize, the more we do it, the more film there is, the more preparation, and in result, the numbers will suffer. The reason it's successful right now is because of the amount of time we're under center.

his rookie year, when he missed a game or two we were all like "OMG we're F---ED!" Then everyone turned on him because he had a down year. Well, he had back surgery, he's 6'6 300+ lbs and is blocking grown men. I think back surgery is SOMEWHAT of a liable excuse. Glad he's back to who he really is.

I think his time in Carolina was a fail but he isn't a failure. Going from LSU with the most gifted team ever right in to the pros with a new OC who also never coached in the pros is a recipe for disaster (and he was like 30 years old). He was no where near ready. He'll get another chance and I think he'll ultimately be good, just needs to learn.

this... Going under center often will also give different cues based on film etc. I think Dorsey called a well balanced game yesterday. We need him to stick to that in close games and HIM not panic and evacuate under center as well.

It's proven better because we don't do it as often. I'd assume those numbers drop if we add 30% to our under center ratio. More planning, more film, etc.

In some respects on a roll out, sure. But the threat of him running draws, reads, etc goes out the window.. It's not the fact that we want him to run, we want the defense to respect it. Spreading them out with him in the gun takes guys out of the box, will make them incorporate a spy more often, loosens coverage, etc.

To be fair, no one has since 2007. Only Urlacher and Harrison have had 2 sacks, INT, and fumble recovery.

These are conflicting statements lol

I think the key to the game outside of the obvious of getting pressure is... Bernard and Milano in coverage over the shallow crosses and stopping YAC.

I can't get to the 70-80 man. That's too much and taking his running element out of it. It's not 1970 anymore. I can get on board with 35-40%.

/thread. They have not played a physical team yet. If you get in to a track meet, you lose. Abuse their OL, stop the run, get to Tua, keep everything in front of you.

I have grown to really respect Dan O and his insightful takes. I was actually pleasantly surprised with how good he was on MNF last week too. I feel he is very rational, he uses film, and he will call even call "stars" out for mistakes not give them excuses.

I thought Beane couldn't draft, missed on FA's, and our offensive line problems were all his fault?

Oh of course dude, it's all in good fun.

people will literally read one sentence, assume, and then post like ... "Yepp! Got him!" I get it man, reading comprehension is very tough these days.

Dude, it doesn't give you a better chance of winning the SB... HISTORY AND STATISTICS SHOW it gives you a SIGNIFICANTLY worse chance... ATL has a good offensive line.... They also run the ball 30x a game and he has Allgeier to spell him.. You people and your big names are crazy.. Jame Cook averages more YPC than JT as well. Please show me ONE INSTANCE where an RB put a team over the top to win a SB... just one. You're arguing in circles but haven't proved a single point / shown how RBs value is minimal. There are 100's of examples to prove their lack of value. Raheem Mostert is 31 on his 7th team and just had a 100 yard game. Zack Moss just had a 100 yard game and a few TDs Kyren Williams is 5th and just won the job from a 2nd or 3rd round pick Pacheco won the job over a 1st round pick Chubb leaves, Ford does better Derek Henry was the best RB in the league for 3 years, won nothing Josh Jacobs was rushing title last year, no playoffs.... do we continue or are you going to still pound the table for someone because he has a big name and you think that wins football games?

I'm sure you thought Dalvin Cook was elite too. (90% of sports pundits said he was a top 5 RB in the league while he was an FA looking for a new home) Goes to a team with no offensive line.. and *gasp* guess what?! He is below average and is averaging 2.5 yards a carry. What's the excuse here? No QB? No Offensive line? obviously.. because these things MAKE an RB, not the other way around.. How many examples need to be shared and proven for people to understand this?

As someone that lived there for 24 years and has now lived in 3 other cities... all major and 1 other smaller town (Oklahoma City) My girlfriend is from Phoenix. I can confirm that all of this is true.

Dude, there is no way a human is that dense. Bills fans will LITERALLLLLLLY stare at stats and videos of something happening and STILL say "no that's not true." They can't get over their feelings about a person once they formulated them. He's been INCREDIBLY elusive so far this year and even in to the back half of last year. People were pounding the fking table for speed for YEARS with singletary... now we have it and they want power? It's absolutely asinine

I don't agree with that. Fields is just historicallllyyyyy bad dude. Pace has done a solid job with the team ... he knew that this coming draft was significantly better than the past so he didn't take a QB. He will fire Eberflus, have another solid draft and get his QB (i can't remember if he drafted Fields or not)

So Tillman calling Eberflus and him crying are also rumors? Damn.

Exactly... I reallllllly hope it's not CP related for all of humanity man...

Maybe they don't ... I'm unfamiliar but I mean, the dude isn't a murd----, so logically, what else can it be?

Did you read my post? You don't get raided for not feeling well.. sure he has to work on his health but there is WAYYYY more to it. Maybe it is narcotics and sales.
