Simon

He's hasn't been awful, but he's missed some open guys (not on his first reads) and his ball placement has been really sporadic.

Eli had a mental game that Herbert seems to completely lack, imo.

It's stunning sometimes. He sees the field poorly, his ball placement is not good, he has minimal escapability and he lacks any sort of internal fire. He's got a great toolbox, but nothing to really put into it.

Yeah, that's the only reason he wasn't tossed. Back foot isn't relevant. It's all about where the helmet is in relation to the center's hip/beltline. They push it to it's extreme, but they are usually just close enough to keep from being called for it.

His field vision is atrocious.

The can be off the line but their helmets have to be at least far enough forward that they aren't completely behind the Center's hip.

Their helmets are aligned legally, if barely

One of the most overrated coaches I have ever seen in the sport at any level.

I don't know, but I'm happy to see finally see it.

Brandt!

I haven't seen a pregame show in at least 20 years and would bet I haven't missed a single interesting thing.

First pregame show, eh?

Orange whip?

Was it a Bigwig/General Woundwort sort of thing? Or was it more like this?

The second a corner turns his head to track a ball, he automatically slows down and the result is the WR instantly gains a step of separation on him. Modern NFL offenses are so tightly co-ordinated and QBs are now so accurate, that this single step of separation is now a significant advantage. A corner turning his head back is far more likely to lead to a big completion than to a pass break-up. Corners are now coached to keep their head forward so they can maintain top speed and track WRs, then when the ball comes in to get their hand(s) into a WRs arms to rip and tear and prevent catches that way.

Trying to take anything concrete from Week 1 is usually a waste of time, imo.

You have 50+ posts as a pestering guest in a pregame thread where nobody else has more than 32. You can either learn to control yourself or it will be done for you.

Maybe due East

They don't care about your dog, they're trying to get you ready to eat it in a couple years.

Those odds could probably increase considerably if Lamar were to become Allen's backup.

I thought his real name was Barry...

No CBS on Sling

Hmmm, you'll have to send me more info before I can decide.....

Rosy Valdemort?
