I'm not talking about him wanting the ball - but I think he's a hot head with a big mouth. You don't have to agree with me.
This is what I think when all of our fellow board GMs start talking about replacing someone with this guy and that guy.
Does it seem like he gets the extra hard hitting sacks, too?
I saw him lifted off the ground, there is almost always a helmet hit, and he's almost always peeling himself off the turf.
The kid gets beat up! I'm not so sure I wouldn't be tentative myself
That's from a lack of pocket presence. He can't slip and slide in the pocket to avoid sacks and he often doesn't feel the ones that get to him til it's too late.
Romo just had 7.61 seconds in a pocket..I don't think we get that in an entire drive
I thought Griffin looked really tentative today. I also hated the playcalling, other than the wealth of handoffs to Almo. They aren't making it easy on Griffin with the playcalling, or with the protection schemes. I think his confidence, for whatever reason, is completely shot.
Yeah, the line doesn't provide much of a pocket. And when you are trying to teach a guy to sit in the pocket and trust the pocket, it's hard to instill that confidence when the pocket is collapsing and you are taking hit after hit. Even today, Kaepernick had giant pockets on a lot of plays. I remember some plays where it seemed like there wasn't any Redskin within 10 yards of him. I'd like to see the Redskins line provide that to help him learn to trust them.
On the other hand, it makes you wonder why he is holding to the ball too long with that pocket collapsing. You would think he would be getting rid of hit before those hits come.
I think there's some of that going on, but when I watch other teams play I see much more of a pocket develop that allows for that sliding in the middle range to upper tier teams.

Don't get me wrong because I don't want HIM here....
But we need a Coughlin style coach to walk in that front door, kick over a trash can, and just run them up one end and down the other. A coach who will get on players like Coughlin did with Strahan when he was late or when players didn't give their best.
Gruden is too new and was too excited for the job and didn't really know what he was getting himself in to. He doesn't have the same attitude and in your face aggression that his brother has and that is hurting him because these young men are screaming for discipline and leadership.
That’s why there is an undercurrent on the team for Colt. Nobody seriously thinks he’s the answer but he isn’t taking six sacks a game or tossing three picks a game like Cousins (who I still think is the best long term chance we have for a franchise QB….go ahead and laugh).
This isn't aimed at you, it just got me thinking and wondering what each has done.
You haven't joined any rooms.
