Something to this. Shanahan has failed when it comes to developing a real skill set at QB. He reminds me of Brian Kelly in that regard. Both men have had success taking the Little Engine That Could type of guy and getting him to manage a football game. It’s why neither guy has won big in their careers. The modern game calls for a dynamic QB to win the ultimate prize. His flow is innately flawed. It wins a ton of regular season games but they’ll always be bridesmaids with this approach.
He didn’t play against the Chiefs # 2 defense in the rest of his multiple failures either.
Yep. It all exists in a larger context. I can see why you would want to compartmentalize things. Unfortunately for you, I’m not stupid. No one is saying this stuff about Shanahan without the established history.
agree....thought Elliot was playing OK, too. FT starter? Not sure about that yet.
Only reason I can think of is IF both teams do same thing on first drives you get first crack in sudden death. Guess that's somewhat legit.
ST players might be among the dumbest people on the planet. Get away from the ball......oh, and often cannot tell a guy's front from his back.
I have nothing but respect for Andy Reid. Outside of the occasional fat joke, I don’t talk shit about Andy Reid.
I think there’s greater advantage in taking the ball and knowing what you need. It also puts you in 4 down mode if you need it. Getting the ball first makes for some tough 4th down decisions.
He has no idea where the ball is. It’s the job of the returner to be screaming some code word that means find the ball and get away. I have been on staffs that have used Poison and Tony Romo was calling it Peter during the telecast.
assume it'll be the guy from KSU (whose name is escaping me even though I said it to someone yesterday....I'm old).
I liked seeing the suits characters (favorite was the Judge Judy one) as I think it was because the show is going to have a spin off I think.
Of course that is the advantage of first 2 drives (going second) and why all CFB teams go second (or nearly all). I'd say might depend on odds of both doing the same thing on each of their 1st possession but could we even know since it's never happened quite like this?
