It's funny that two guys who are known to not be "mobile" QBs simply because they do not run a lot, are phenomenally mobile in moving around within the pocket. <BR/><BR/>They don't have to be Bob Hayes out there, just have a sense of where the pressure is and be able to take 2-5 steps in the right direction, keep their feet ready to get set, then have a quick release when needed. That's one of the biggest hurdles for the super athlete QBs--when they COULD be moving in the pocket to save their rumps and set up a pass, they tuck and run instead. They always have and it has always worked at lower levels. While it converts a few third downs (Mr. Young, I am looking at you), long term and globally, it makes them a less effective QB.<BR/><BR/>Brains first, arm second, feet third.Bob M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09868145755330857138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364482294646808855.post-43458364261250698052007-12-05T14:41:00.000-03:002007-12-05T14:41:00.000-03:00A little objectivity would allow you to acknowledg...A little objectivity would allow you to acknowledge that Brady is one of the best of all time eluding pocket pressure, i.e. the Madden Agility Drill that he did on drive #1 right before Watson dropped a sure fire TD.

Wow. So easy to be dazzled by all the Ws, it makes me wonder if a sleeper 6th seed is destined to ruin it all.... Cleveland? Minnesota?

I enjoyed seeing Balt challenge the Pats, but really want them to be 18-0 in cold, snowy Foxborough when the Colts beat them. <BR/>I now think Addai should not run more than ten times a game until the playoffs, just to keep him injury-free and fresh. Because it may well take a running game like last night and some inclement weather to defeat NE. We can't count on 100+ penalty yards again.<BR/><BR/>Besides, there's something special about football in the snow.Bob M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09868145755330857138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364482294646808855.post-69284882646076271872007-12-04T14:56:00.000-03:002007-12-04T14:56:00.000-03:00Sorry about your fantasy teams, guys.It was an int...Sorry about your fantasy teams, guys.<BR/><BR/>It was an interesting game. Some of the calls were a little strange, for certain, but I can't say I can clearly remember many games where I haven't said, "that's a bad call," at least once or twice. It's just unfortunate when those calls cost the game for a team.<BR/><BR/>We had friends over (we ladies went shopping, and the guys put the kids to bed and then watched the first half of the game only to be joined by the gals for the second half), and none of us could tear ourselves from the screen. At least it was interesting.<BR/><BR/>In many ways, I kind of hope that the F-Pats continue thier winning streak until we knock them off the pedestal in January. Then again, I've never rooted so hard AGAINST a team in all my life...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
