The Screen Play Pick-6

\ said:
I find it fascinating that someone would think that a QB who is ranked among the worst in the NFL is being victimized by his receivers and everyone around him.Just for fun, instead of 31st, where do you suppose DA would rank if his teammates were performing at the average NFL level......25th?......20th?......higher?
About where he ranked last season 9th to 11th.

Ate...I did the figures for all of you before...and it raises him up about 3-5 slots at best...and that is assuming he gets a couple extra TDs out of it. No way he is around 10th even if the receivers caught EVERY pass.

He's just trying to get a rise out of us. He's pulling our leg. He's kidding.
I mean, he couldn't really be serious.
Could he?
Really? He might be serious?
We need to send Stan on a vacation with some of the girls from the cheerleader thread. He's lost all perspective!

Revisiting this play again...
1. Ngata was RELEASED as our RG was headed to the left to form the blocking for the screen
2. J.Thomas was faced up with Suggs...which is his job...so he could keep him outside. The fact that Suggs ran past him to the outside should have taken him OUT OF THE PLAY!!!
3. Wright did EXACTLY what he was supposed to...run to the outside like he is going to block Suggs...then turn inside for the screen!!!
The problem was...DA panicked and threw off his back foot to the OUTSIDE...which then negated the shield JT was providing on Suggs, crossed up Wright...who by the way was wide open and behind the block of the RG (remember, the guy who RELEASED Ngata to get into the screen position). We had 4 blockers and only 2 defenders and DA managed to throw it to a wide open SUGGS!!!
Had DA just stepped up past the rushing Ngata...or drifted left a step or two....and let the play develop it would have gone for HUGE yards. But he panicked and did the one thing you never do...
Was this the one and only reason we lost? No, but don't try to pin this on anyone but DA. THIS PLAY was ALL on him!

I just loved on NFL Prime time last night. They were talking about SEA previous longest play from scrimage, which was Dilfer to Robinson, then Dilfer talked about how he then threw an INT in the endzone that he called the worst pass/INT he threw. Then they got to the Browns highlights and talked about how DAs was just as bad.

It's just not working out. I want a change because it's just not working. You would make a great QB for some other team, DA, but for some reaon it's just not working with this team. It's no one's fault, you tried hard and the team tried hard to play for you.
-
LOL, DA panicked and threw off his back foot (forget about being pile drived by a 350-lb man) ... if he would have only leaped over a tall building, ran faster than a speeding bullet, and stepped up past the rushing Ngata ... and Wright would have actually been already looking for the ball ... and Joe Thomas would have actually pancaked Suggs (oh wait, that's not allowed, he's supposed to just get between him and Wright) ... anyhow, it was a Great play call and would have went for a huge gain!!!
That all sounds complicated, how about we just stick to Braylon Edwards catching the damn deep ball???
... Or someone making a tackle on Rice?

Stick to baseball Stan.Applied to baseball;
If our center fielder wouldn't have dropped that pop-up, scoring two runs, and our firstbaseman wouldn't have allowed that ball through his legs scoring the tying run, and then our short-stop wouldn't have had that throwing error for the go-ahead run - our Pitcher giving up that late insurance run wouldn't have lost the game for us.

But he did throw the INT.
You can't change that Stan. He did it. A horrible decision. A horrible thrown. A panicked throw. An all too familiar throw.
Did DA lose the game? Nope. Should we have had him in a position to throw a critical pick-6? No. However, we did and he did.
He's a problem too. Admit it.

You missed the point. I was saying that because of your laughable understanding (or lack of) on how a screen play works, the responsibilities of OL in it, and what the QB is supposed to do when the DL you are intentionally letting threw gets there.
Much like DA can't throw a swing pass, he can't handle a simple screen play. This probably explains why we see little of the screen or the swing in CLEs offense.

For the record, I never once questioned the rush on Anderson, except that he had to get rid of that football at that very milli-second and it was well before Wright ever looked for the football. Never once did I question that design of that part of that play.
I would have like to have seen Joe Thomas put Suggs on his ass or drive him out of that play. Suggs read that puppy all the way and no one touched him.
I've read all day about how big and bad the Ravens Defense is against the rush and no one blames our O-line for not clearing holes or Jamal Lewis for not making holes, but when DA gets caught by this same containing at-the-line-of-scrimmage defense, all of a sudden there is no mention of Suggs great read-react-and-play, only that DA should-of stepped aside and pierced the might 'D' .... good grief.
Nice block Joe.

No, what he should have done is not throw the pick.
Just like BE should have caught the pass.
Just like DJ shouldn't have over-pursued on Rice's 60 yarder.
DA's accountable just like everyone else.

Just like Joe Thomas should have put a lid on Suggs?
