Oh dear lord, I would not have a problem with that at all.
But she's gotta be like what... 45 or 50 now?

Jessica Alba, 42, left the church when she played a role of a woman with gonorrhea of the throat.. and people she thought were her friend stopped simply because of a role she played. Side note: There was a paper showing that gargling with listerine significantly reduces the chance of catching that. The more you know.
She also married a guy named Cash.

What's odd, is I don't remember anyone asking you a god damn thing about dropping age numbers here ?

It was sad to hear she died earlier this year on February 15th at 82 years of age. Raquel Welch was beautiful back in the day.

Earlier this week, I outlined a few things I saw from the Pittsburgh game and what the Browns needed to clean up. I said 3 pillars had to improve this past weekend, in a sense they did. The biggest of those was 'How was Watson seeing the field?'. It was pretty clear, even from the incredibly limited broadcast view, that things were off between him and receivers. A deeper look sort of reveal it had nothing to do with the eyes and decision making, for the majority of the time at least. It was the chemistry and routes that needed to adhere to continuous improvement. Starting my 2nd viewing of the Titans game, I wanted to play catch up on the previous one and highlight the evidence of a glimmer of hope.
I'll start off with the most painful, the game winning margin pick 6.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Much like most plays, it isn't JUST on one man. Firstly, Adkins fucked this route up. He should have carried it high, into the CB to at least back him off playing that cloud to aggressive and low. That would have allowed for more space for Bryant to extend his route outside and shield him away from contact. Secondly, Bryant chops his feet and squares his shoulders too much, I presume either he saw the CB, or he just flat out biffed the subtle details of this simple route. And sometimes it is the simple stuff we tend to overlook. Thirdly, I get DW wanting to throw with anticipation and timing, but he should have just put it on him in this case. On the road in prime time against your oldest rival? Need to continue to sharpen our momentary decisions.
That said, from an X's O's, it's the correct read and throw. You get 3 over 2 to the field, and the week hook/man defender over your #2 is a LB who is a pass rusher the majority of the time. It's not all the dissimilar from having Zadarius or Obgo covering a TE, maybe a bit more of the former. It's a mismatch in the passing game. But this is still routinely easy reads per NFL standards. Let's continue.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------
Now the timing of this throw is on DW, ball should have been out 1/2 second sooner, maybe more. But that's all it takes at this level between a completion and not. This is where I'll speak of timing all day. The QB and WR's both seeing and understanding coverage, then the where, when and how they'll break the route... If this is on time, it's a completion. If the route is a little more flat, it's a completion.
I got back to the foundation of my passing offense though to point this out - the decision making is again, very correct. Watson saw the MFS, the 1/3 corner and confirmed the alley defender cleared on the curl/flat. So the eyes --> process --> understanding is not in question here. For any QB, just ask Robert Saleh trying to drag Zach Wilson's corpse through the regular season, THAT is the most critical part for a QB.
Still, not all that difficult, let's graduate a couple levels.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pittsburgh's interior pass rush, combined with the abysmal play of Jed Willis and the obvious rookie play of Dawand, really let them get away with a lot of shit. And make no mistake, Mike Tomlin had his guys playing VERY high emotionally - especially Larry Ogunjobi. While he isn't playing bad for the Steelers at all, he whipped Teller's ass a few times that night.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Snag/post combo to the strength
What's great in this slide, is that you see DW checking safeties. Safeties will try to lie to you, but if you can locate and understand them, it's incredibly difficult to cheat as a DB. So Watson see's a 1/2 field safety to the boundary - educated guess here, that means if you want to push the ball downfield, your other side of the formation is likely either the same concept, or a flavor built off that - such a cover 4. Pair the 2 boundary and the 4 field together you get cover 6. Either way, when you know you have Cooper in the slot, and he's running a post, that means you're either going to find a LB having to match him down the middle, or a safety having to do the same. Both you feel comfortable going after with trust in your #1 target.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is exactly where you see DW pretty much think just that. He see's the field safety in vertical match on the #2... Cooper, in this case. Mind you, this is moving from right to left and not locking eyes to any one side of the field.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Watson has begun his throwing motion and see's the window open with the alley defender cleared. Downside, pass rush is breaking through.
DW takes just a bit of contact on his follow through, the ball ends up a bit low and outside Coops hands. Like before, he could have squared this route off a bit, which would have held him up before the boundary safety could recover.
This was that next step to the tough, intermediate level throws where I started saying "Ok, I SEE what Watson is seeing now.... and It's good math". BUT, we just need to get the finishing details cleaned up. I felt a strange combination between sick to my stomach about Chubb, losing, but then some grit and heart about where this team could build from. I saved the last two for the next post...
-
This is where the grad level work starting coming into play, and I began to believe that 2020 Watson could still be a thing.
Steelers show cover 5 (2 high man) pre snap.
----------------------------------------------------
Start to see rotation from the field safety to the hashes.
---------------------------------------------------------
Which means I have to check the boundary safety - DW does. And he see's him driving hard as the robber looking for the over, or in this case, the shallow drag from Coop.
---------------------------------------------------------
Takes his strike to Moore.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Which, despite being only 5'9, was still almost complete.
HERE is my only beef with this design, and I know that going forward it's going to be just how I'm drawing it up here.
Moore, and at his size, is being squeezed to the boundary. His acceleration is great, his top end can be matched. Along with his limited size. If the protection is there, and it this play it was, this needs to be a post-snap sight adjust off that CB.
Meaning Moore is doing to take his 3, stab and push vertical, but if that CB is still high and off at the chains, then you go to 4 yards and break it BACK down the route stem. Essentially you're aiming yourself directly AT the 1st down marker and outside. This allow allows Watson to 'drift' left and away from any potential pressure that Watt might be bringing from that side.
Better yet, this is where I expect Tillman to start getting these looks. Because, from what I've shown earlier in this thread and from his pre-season, this is exactly where his skill set, physical size and tools are so desperately needed. Because once this offense goes from having static routes to more dynamic post-snap choices, it's going to be incredibly difficult for the Steelers to leave their corners in man coverage and not pay for like the Titans did.
The blue line is the route adjustment that needs to be built into the offense.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This last one, despite not being a completion, was the most impressive IMHO.

Despite the pocket being absolutely on fire around him, and reading a double buzz rotation from an umbrella cover 4 bluff, this was maybe a foot from being a HUGE completion and 3rd down conversion. I've been doing this, in some form or the other, since 2012. I haven't seen a single Browns QB since that time come anywhere near close to this type of read and throw. Worse, it wasn't even a catch otherwise I wouldn't have even bothered with showing you the other passes. I would have just went "yeah, THIS" and moved on.
Houston Watson is still in there somewhere. And this is my reason for believing that. IF this was Tillman with regular seasons snaps and chemistry, it is a catch. And one that the Pittsburgh coaches would absolutely be screaming about in the booth. That said, and I'll circle back around to my pre-game comments on the Titans this weekend...
- Pass pro STILL needs work. Jed was up and down, but neither him or Dawand faced anyone on the edge that could test them yesterday, as I expected. The Titans just don't have 'that' guy on the edge. They function as a collective, as a sum. But the only standouts on their defense are Jeffe' and the LB's. Back to our guys though, Berry can't sit still on Wills. He is what he is at this point, it's only a matter of time before you get the wrong matchup again.
- Routes and the route tree vs coverage will continue to need time to grow. We've seen some foundational work, but a lot more must be done. Especially if you want to beat the Steelers game 2. Because they're going to hit you with Watt, and likely more of the same they showed here. It'll be beyond important to stay out of 3rd and long. If Joe Thomas was still here, I wouldn't care as much. But he isn't. Offense has to stay on schedule because the opportunities to dig yourself out against T.J. won't be there like this past game.
- The Ravens secondary is NOT good. And their edge rush isn't anything great either. Coaches and players are back in the building tomorrow morning for gameplans and meetings. I would suspect that much of what you saw this past weekend will be used against BLT. Specifically how can we get Coop and Moore matched up on Kyle Hamilton. I'll be keeping an early eye on prop bets for total receptions on those two.
This was encouraging to me when I watched it. Probably why I wasn't more present on the board during the week, and didn't partake in the usually bitchy threads from the usual morons after a loss. Because, in the words of Marty Schottenheimer ..."There's a gleam" 27-3, and now we've all seen what that gleam can be if the Browns organization as a whole continues to pursue it.

Raquel was a beautiful person and a real babe for her entire life. She was an amazing woman to the end.
RIP Raquel.
