There should be an official stat for good blocking.

Like if you just totally take a dude and take him out of the play so badly the ball carrier doesn't have to adjust their route at all, that should be a Steamroll or Pushover or Big Boy or something.

Joe Thomas had 12 big boys in this game is a thing analysts should be saying.

Everyone was getting into the action, even Ted Ginn Jr. had a big boy on a downfield run!

On this note, that 1-32-1 stat for Alex Smith when he trails by 14 at any point in a game... Obviously no one will have a good record in games they're down 14 but you'd hope for more than 1 win. Anyway, that 1 win? Against Andy Reid in 2011.

He's converted like 3 of 28 3rd downs this year. That's even worse than the WR TD thing.

hmm, I wonder if you can look this up for other QB's.

Because while that's awful, I bet it's pretty awful for just about every average QB, like that Stafford vs winning teams on the road thing.

quote:

The Packers had a seven-minute time of possession advantage, and it helped keep the defense fresh. By the way, the defense held the Chiefs to seven possessions of three plays or fewer through three quarters of the game. In his postgame interview, Rodgers said the Chiefs were loaded up to stop the run, which left man coverage across the board, and the Packers receivers won their one-on-ones. There’s your analysis of what happened. Imagine, playing run against Rodgers. That’s what Eddie Lacy has done for this team.

quote:

Coach McCarthy says they’re going to improve the running game, and the Packers respond with a running game that’s causing teams to focus on stopping the run. Coach McCarthy says the defense will be improved, and now it’s dominating. Coach McCarthy said special teams will be improved, and they are. Coach McCarthy says he wants a fast start, and the Packers are 3-0 and playing as well as any team in the league. I wish Coach McCarthy would say on my deathbed I will achieve total consciousness.

quote:

I don’t think there’s anyone who doesn’t truly appreciate Rodgers’ greatness. I’ve been covering football for 44 years and I’ve never seen a better quarterback. He sees more of the field than any quarterback I’ve ever watched. He was reading the Chiefs’ sideline last night. He saw their sub packages getting ready to come into the game and he knew what the Chiefs were going to do before they did it, and he was doing all of that as he was listening to his sideline talk to him in his helmet communicator. I think he’s the most intelligent quarterback that’s ever played the game.

Yeah I wouldn't expect anyone to really look good in something like that, what might stand out the most if we were able to get a list like this for everyone is he's managed to play more than two full seasons worth of games where that happened. I'd like to see that for everyone too if anyone can figure out how to look it up.

On this note start calling OPI on rub routes and WR screens. You shouldn't be able to block a defender playing the ball while the ball is in the air.

Edit: With the obvious exception of the d line attempting to knock down a pass.

I have no clue as to how true this is but this site claims it started at Pitt in the '80s.

quote:

The term was first used by the Pittsburgh Panthers to describe All-America offensive tackle Bill Fralic's blocking prowess in 1983 and '84. As Fralic's propensity for knocking opponents onto their back became known throughout the college football world, Pittsburgh's coaching staff counted the number of times Fralic registered these type of blocks in a given game. The Pittsburgh media relations department labeled these blocks as "pancakes" and the term stuck.

They go on to mention Pace at Ohio State later, I guess OSU's media department sent Heisman voters magnetic pancakes for him.

Yeah. That's how Charles Clay was wide open on the Bills first touchdown: Sammy Watkins more or less blocked the defensive back who was covering Clay. Even I thought that was a little ridiculous.

Even better it was peppers.

Even BETTER they were waltzing down the field for the go ahead touchdown at the end of the fourth quarter (because John fox) and Aaron was so clearly concussed they had to run it three times inside the fifteen.

They eventually settled for a FG and never got the ball back.

If that O-line wasn't trying to murder him and if Philbin called better plays to help the offense get in rhythm, he'd be Wild Card Playoff material.

Here's the thing. The Oline has been dogshit for years. Everyone knows this, including I assume Lazor and Tannehill. Where are the rollouts? What happened to the read option pass? Did you know Tannehill was a WR in college? Why can't he scramble?

I dunno. I guess I just watch him staring at an 8 man front and then running Lamar Miller right into it and I don't know who to cut into tiny pieces.

When Tannehill gets Landry killed on one of these 2 yard outs, that's when I'm going to demand a new QB.

A lot of this I put on the OC and HC. They are clearly game planning like they have a stand up pocket thrower with a good o-line. Why?
Tannehill isn't talented enough to A-Rod out of situations, or to read defenses Peyton style. While I'm sure he makes a few calls/adjustments at the line, I'm pretty sure almost everything is dictated to him from the side line.

I think he has the arm and accuracy to get the right team to a Wildcard Spot, it's clearly not this Dolphins team.

So just to clarify, Aaron Rodgers throws for 333, 5 TD, one dropped INT and one fumble that didn't actually happen and he gets a -.8 PFF score. Meanwhile, Carson Palmer throws for 311, 2 TD, 1 caught INT and 1 real fumble and gets a +6.2.
