Thread: More Banjo: Week 2 @ Atlanta

    I can't believe G. Gordon would be misleading.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Trying to lift train back onto track, I say the early-third year returns on the draft that produced Randall and Rollins in rounds one and two are not good.

    A 45 year old father of three who likes to pretend he's a lumberjack? Sounds like exactly the kind of guy who might be looking for a male prostitute...

    Gambled and lost here. Drafted a safety who he thought could be converted to corner, and drafted a corner who had played 1 year of college football. Probably tried to rely on Joe Whitt's ability too much.

    Rutnstrut doesn't have to look for nothing, he's the party. The flannel shirt, axe wielding, angry posts - he's a rough trade cliche.

    I dunno. Randall looked pretty good his first year. Then he got hurt and hasn't been the same since. Maybe he has an egg shell for an ego. Or maybe Whitt's powers of motivation are in decline.

    Or maybe his first year was a fluke?

    They both flashed pretty well their rookie year. Enough the Packers (and everyone else) let Hayward go. With Shields, Randall, and Rollins, the CBs looked set for another five years. Then concussion and injury/regression.
    No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.

    It really is a bit confusing. Randall, at least, looked like he was going to be a real player. Now he's a dollar short and a day late.

    It could be, but I'd bet that he simply has failed to develop other skills, and more time starting has exposed the holes in his game.

    Or, there are times in that secondary where the receiver turns to run an interior route and the CB reacts as though he's been shot at and backs off. The middle of the field coverage scheme (when to follow, when to pass off or drift off or deep) still evades them I think. I might be overreacting to replays showing it at least twice this season but its just weird. Pump fakes maybe?
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    This is a pretty good description. It's very odd. Randall has tight coverage and then all the sudden he gets totally lost on a simple inside cut. Gabe Kaplan had better coverage of Richard Hatch on Battle of the Network Stars.

    ^ Nice trash TV reference.

    I think its mostly technique and goes mainly to the lack of familiarity of the DBs with zone coverage techniques.

    The most baffling coverage of all is the trailing by too far coverage on a crossing route (this is man to man) and the failure to have anyone on the other side of the field to clock the crossing route. This might be skill of receiver avoid the other defenders, but I also think its the effect of threatening to send six pass rushers most downs.

    So...(cue Bretsky)...if the Packers had drafted TJ Watt the pass coverage would be better?

    It might, but he has to be healthy for that to work.

    He looks legit and pass rush always helps, but I am still kinda stunned how Fackrell looks in games versus the preseason. I think he might figure it out. Its weird to see a two gapping OLB on a pass rush.
