Interesting contradiction to this way of thinking in Bill Polian's blog article about the Falcons yeserday: Link Quotes:

Yeah, the problem is when the guy fills out his draft, instead of the 1st, this year's 4th and next year's 1st that he says, he actually does the swap in the 1st and 3rd rounds.

Nah, he'd probably make em hit everything on the ground. Sorry, couldn't resist. :p

Umm, you could pretty much say that about most decent offenses then. "Boy, when we're clicking, we pretty much can't be stopped". The point I was making is that our most effective and winningest offense ran up against a superior defense and was manhandled that day. IIRC, I think we scored 14...

University of Iowa says hello. ;) Will I be happy? Yes, I'll be happy that we won more games. I always hate it when Tech loses. Will I find the offense interesting? No, not myself personally. I've had season tickets now for the past 11 seasons. Over the past 2 seasons, I've made one...

Oh joy!

Very handy info. Thanks for the response. OK, so how about this? 1st, 3rd and 4th for moving up 5 spots? Thats a deal they just might take. That gives them 3 picks in the top 6 of each round for only moving down 5 spots. And the Falcons still have the 2 compensatory 4th rounders? No way do...

Falcons have 2 compensatory picks in the 4th round besides their normal 4th rounder. I wonder how many of you would make this trade: Atlanta trades the #6 pick in the draft to Houston Texans for the #1 overall pick to be able to draft Clowney. In exchange, the Falcons also give up their usual...

I get it. I'm pretty sure that same conversation has been going on in the Houston Texans war room as well. Edited to add: And I meant to add that I completely agree with you on the draft picks. If the Falcons could trade their pick and a 4th rounder or lower to swap for #1, then I say go for...

Have you ever stopped to think that maybe the reason the QB is constantly under pressure in this system is due to scheme? That we spend most of practice & game time run blocking rather than pass blocking? That your traditional "big body, quick step" guy in most systems is on the outside...

Your sentiment is shared by many. I'm not one of those. Do I think the guy took some plays off last year? Yes, I believe he did. But I also know that he was really good friends with a guy named Marcus Lattimore, who was as sure of a "sure thing" at running back as there ever was before he...

Sure, that's part of it. But what I'm saying is this: In the QB pro days, you often see it considered to be a truly outstanding day for a QB who hits 26 or more out of 30 passes. These are scripted plays to a talented WR of the QB's choosing with nothing but air defending. I would venture to...

Is 50+ % on deep balls a reasonable goal? It would seem to me that few teams complete 50% or more of deep balls.

We averaged less than 2 extra passes per game last year.

Does Mack not scare some of you guys? He looked freakish against the FBS competition and in the one game versus Ohio State. But Meyer admitted after the game that they should have tried doubling him but they were surprised at how disruptive he was. In other words, it would worry me to draft a...

http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/nfl-draft/post?id=4553 If you don't have ESPN Insider access, here are 2 quotes from the piece: The 9 players he listed were players who he said he loves watching their film and could watch it all day long: In no particular order, he listed 9 players. Jerry...

Correct. But when the Attorney General (Holder) says WTTE of "we're not going to go after individual users", then the federal govt essentially condoned it. And once the majority of states legalize it, that federal law will likely go away as well IMO.

In 5 years (maybe less), I think this will be a non-issue. The NCAA already said something along the lines of "we have determined marijuana is not a performance enhancing substance" or STTE over these past few months. I would assume they did so in preparation for the inevitable failed...

I agree. When you're standing beside both of them, Joe has a "thicker" appearance than JT. JT doesn't appear to be a twig but he's still fairly slight.

Possibly not when you were there but I know for a fact there was at least one football player on my dorm floor from whose room you could smell suspicious smoke back in 1984.
