It's a popular take but I don't see it.

 

Marrone's blocking scheme was simple mano-a-mano so you really got to see whether an OL could get a push and Wood was just plain getting his assswhipped to a pulp week after week.

 

Roman's system put the OL on the offensive and gave them angles into their blocks.......just far more blocker-friendly approach in an era where there is so much physical talent to contend with on NFL D-Lines.

Yes undoubtedly that helps too as did the variety in Roman's run game. The book on Marrone and Hackett was trying to run up the middle teams stacked the middle of the defense. Roman's scheme goes outside it goes inside and as you have already mentioned it includes the threat of Taylor that forces defences to respect an extra threat.

 

I still can't help think upgraded guard play helped.... Even if only with Wood's all round comfort level.

14 happy calls today for those replacing Pro Bowl players from the Super Bowl-bound Broncos and Panthers.

 

On top of a trip to Hawaii, Pro Bowl winners get $58,000 while the losers' share is $29,000.

 

 

It's weird that they pay them different amount for a pickup game where they aren't playing full speed.

:lol:

 

I might have to watch this year!

having said that.....CANCEL the game.....it's a sham ......most players don't want to be in it or half try......to much risk of injury.

 

This. All star games are a relic of the past, from an era before the internet and digital media made it possible to watch every play in every game all year long.

To all Taylor haters, perhaps this signifies that those who know talent know Taylor.

Perhaps, but perhaps not.

 

A relatively complete list of 1st year starting Pro Bowl QB's in the last decade.

 

Vince Young

RG3

Nick Foles

Josh Freeman

Andrew Luck

Russel Wilson

Cam Newton

Andy Dalton

 

 

Seems to be pretty even between bums and stars.

It is kind of funny that those 5 people have been pretty much disarmed. One of them just stopped coming here. The other 4 just pick and choose ridiculous altered stats and point to them. They look for the stats that will make him look the worst and build their case around that. It is really stupid actually.

Here is the list of Bills QBs (prior to this year) to have played in the last dozen Pro Bowls:

the Pro Bowl is a joke. it will either be done away with or they will need to drastically change things. stars don't want to go and risk injury. what should probably happen is they turn it into a rookies vs 2nd yr guys game or perhaps do away with the game itself and make it some kind of skills competition thing
