DupaDupa posted:So in regards to the chat about Andre Williams earlier, how is he as a blocker? I can't find any tape on YouTube of him being used in pass protection at all. I haven't even ever seen him catch a pass. Come to think of it I'm not sure if I've ever even seen him in a passing down. Hoooooly poo poo I just remembered why he sounds so familiar. That guy played on my cousins football team and was born in the same town my entire family lives in. Doltos fucked around with this message at 19:33 on Apr 16, 2014 |

Nevermind, I found exactly one play in which Andre Williams pass blocked. Williams did fine but the QB threw the ball 5 feet over the receiver. But hoooooly poo poo Williams has some real fumbitis.

Williams only caught like 3 passes last year. Its not that he can't catch or passblock, its that his offense never asked him to do so. Will be interesting to see how he does at it.

I would be careful about calling AJ McCarron a game manager. Geno Smith had a 42:6 TD:INT ratio in his senior year but he still threw 21 interceptions in his rookie season. Some context is necessary.. is McCarron managing the game or is Alabama managing the game for him? Because that's an important distinction. The former implies that McCarron is protecting the football, throwing the ball away, living for another down, throwing at the feet of a RB if a screen is blown up, etc. The latter means the offense is tailored to mask McCarron's deficiencies and make his life easier. From what I've watched of AJ's career, which is plenty as CBS loved to show Bama games, Nick Saban tried to take as much pressure off of AJ as possible. Alabama was 91st in the country in pass attempts. Yeldon tore up every defense, they could lean on it. Against LSU they ran for 193 yards, and limited AJ to only 20 pass attempts, and he had a solid game as a result. But look at the Oklahoma game. Yeldon was held under 100 yards, they gained only 3.7 yards per carry, and McCarron turned the ball over 3 times and was sacked 7 times. I'll take a closer look at that game when I have time.

Game manager has negative connotations attached to it when in all reality it's kind of a good thing. Teddy Bridgewater is a game manager. McCarron's career was defined by the team game managing for him. You never saw a year where McCarron was without a bunch of huge RBs. Saban subscribes to the Coughlin school of thought that RBs are meant for tiring opponents out, not winning games. Bama would just run opposing defenses ragged and McCarron would usually benefit from this later on in games when Bama eventually pulled ahead.

Well, I'm saying I'm not sure that McCarron IS a game manager, I think that it's a mistake that gets made about Alabama QBs because the team is built on good defense and nonstop running. I think McCarron will actually be a more aggressive quarterback in the NFL, but the question will be whether he can, with his skillset.

The Bama team was set up to manage him, as they are with all of Saban's QBs. He just doesn't care about the position much and knows that size and speed win in the SEC. Those 18-24 year olds get tired real quick when they go up against Yeldon/Richardson/Ingram/Lacy, not to mention how big Bama's olines always are.

If you're gonna draft anyone from Alabama's offense always go with the linemen because they'll at least be solid road graders. These guys fuckin maul every year.

That's an interesting way to look at it; maybe McCarron will want to let loose once he's in a new offense. The question is, as you say, whether he has the arm for it. Or if he can handle not having pristine pockets to throw from, either.

That's probably the sane way to do it. At this point I'm in love with enough prospects that no matter who is taken the Ravens draft will feel like a let down. On plus size cheering on old prospects I liked can make games I have no rooting interest in a little more enjoyable. God speed Keenan Allen.

I'm concerned that Clowney wouldn't be a quality poster in S.A.'s The. Football. Funhouse. He took so many plays off last year, are you telling me he's gonna keep his game up in the offseason when drafting in the goon mock or that he's gonna elaborate on his judgements in the draft thread? I don't buy it. I just anticipate a few big posts in the game day threads, and if that's all you want out of your #1 overall, then OK I guess.Chilichimp posted:I want to see a series of parody Jon Gruden breakdowns.

Tanier put out an article about this today where he suggests Mettenberger: http://www.sportsonearth.com/article/72149298/nfl-draft-cincinnati-bengals-zach-mettenberger-first-round-qb I disagree with him but it kind of highlights the lovely situation the Bengals are in. One thing I do think for sure (that I think Tanier is wrong about) is that the Bengals will absolutely take a falling Manziel or Bridgewater at 24 and may even consider a small trade up, perhaps to leapfrog Arizona.
