    Why would that tell you that the scheme itself is the problem? Seems like a player not able to win an individual match-up to me.
    We discussed on here that Driver's time was done when teams used a linebacker on him with success. If teams really are doing that with Cobb, paying him what they did was a huge mistake.

    Totally agree. Unrelated to the quote I posted, I think Cobb is very overrated. He is a great slot receiver but he is also very, very small. There are lots of guys like him in the college ranks.

    Watch some of the patterns being run. I could cover Cobb on some of these. Also, how often do you actually see a LB covering Cobb. I don't really know what the logic is behind the jogging routes, but I'm not finding anyone dissecting it in a rational way as of yet. Cobb is limited in some ways, but his being locked down/ineffective is more than him just losing it from one season to the next you would think.

    Well that was insightful and exciting as watching paint dry.

    Ya, that's why I wrote what I did. Can't believe teams really are neutralizing Cobb with a LB.

    He and Jones are running a lot of routes where they end it quickly, like they are not the primary target. If Rodgers keeps the ball or moves, they re-engage. I think its vets taking a play off.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    The All-22 shows near constant bracket coverage on Cobb during this whole shit-spell the offense is in.
    70% of the Earth is covered by water. The rest is covered by Al Harris.

    I believe it. His DB is usually in his shorts. But it would help if Cobb was better versus that kind of press coverage. Or if someone would make them pay for that attention to a slot receiver.
