    ...Now I see videos of WRs being told to take at least 4 small steps to make an out cut. When a WR makes 4 steps to cut, then the DB is able to gather his feet and make extra steps to break on the route also. I have seen plenty of WRs make a fast/crisp out cut with one plant step. I would have had wet dreams as a DB in college knowing the WRs would take 4 small steps before a route break! All I needed was a small delay to make a break and jump a route, and these 4 small steps that are taught would be a good corners dream come true.

     

    Which Brings me to my next complaint... Speed outs. It is designed so WRs can get to an out route as fast as possible, but because of the bowed trajectory, they end up curving into the DBs path. A lazy route is when there are no sharp cuts, and the DB can close ground fairly easy because the WR wandered into the DBs territory. As a DB, your momentum is moving backwards in your backpedal, and you have to react when a WR cuts/breaks. No matter what, you have to fight your inertia to start moving the other direction. But when a WR rounds a cut and allows you to move your centrifugal force to the side as opposed to forward, it becomes so much easier to change directions and break on a ball. This is where I think the PATs have really excelled(god I hate them). Their route runners don't bow routes or take 4-6 steps to make a cut. They use precise one step moves with head and shoulder(not shampoo) fakes. I think someone tried to out think their predecessors and tried to find a better way to make a field cut, and ended up with a good hypotheses that doesn't work in the real world.

     

    Anyways, this rant is mainly for playing against man-to-man teams. Against Zone teams, all that matters is getting to the open zone at the right time, so run like a duck if you want.

     

    Love the thread, but I think this will take some videos and pics to make it great.  Got any examples we can check out?

     

    It's about match-ups week to week and play to play.  I think a player needs to develop all the moves he can handle.  You have to study your opponent and see what works against them, but then you have to execute the different tech's.  Does an extra stutter step tie them up, or do they get picks when guys try?  There's such  variety of experience, size, and speed you'll face week to week.

     

     

  2. I don't know the relationship McDermott and Norman have, but I know Josh is an emotional guy so there could be a desire to be with Sean.

     

    He was pissed to leave Carolina, but I don't know who he blames besides Gettleman...he might hate everyone that was involved.

     

    I guess if he comes with the right attitude and price for this front office, then I'm good. 

     

    This is the defense that made him a star, and they know him better than any of us.

  3. Just listened to Bill Polian talk about Jake Fisher on Sirius replay this morning (from last night).  He talked about the Bills plan to run the ball and not be a spread team that tries to throw all the time.  He said the Bills have not had a TE that could set the edge and help in the run game, but they do now.  He was pretty high on Fisher being a part of the offense this year.

     

    Along with Jake adding to the run game, he said Cody Ford will be a road grader and Devin Singletary is explosive.  

     

    I'm all about running the ball to crush their will, then pop em with play action when they start to cheat up.

     

    Josh Allen will play much better with a dominant running game and a shut down defense around him. 

     

  4. My goodness he's fun to watch.  I watched a slow motion film session of him (sound off so no clue what's said) and it's just crazy.

     

    I can't wait to see how he plays against NFL talent. 

     

    This preseason should be all about him with the older fellas that share his position.

     

    What a great pick with Shady still here along with adding Frank Gore, what a way to learn to be a professional RB.

     

    He can really make a 1st guy miss at an elite level, but he seems to just do everything from blocking to running a few nice routes and catching the ball.

     

    He sets up his blocks well and uses different gears to win in the open field.

     

    I see Shady, but also a little bit of Darren Sproles toughness and movement in traffic.
