And he sucks bad.
They have to do something..Garrard is not the answer.Almost a guaranteed 1st round draft pick of a QB in JAX?
Ummm... you realize that their runningback is Maurice Jones-Drew, right? Maybe Jacksonville just knows where their bread is buttered, that MJD is their best chance at putting the ball in the end zone.
Ummm you do realize there are other ways to get the ball in a RB's hands right? You do realize that changing the play calling a little may loosen up a defense right? You do realize any PREDICTABLE team can and usually will be shut down by any decent defense right? They also have 2 very solid wr'ers one will be a HOF'er and the other looks to be taking off, unlike many people I usually appreciate your posts, but that was a pretty lame reply that lacked much thought.
Torry Holt might be a HoFer one day (I don't think he's a slam dunk, but he definitely has a very compelling argument), but that's wholly irrelevant right now, because his knees are shot. If Jacksonville signed Jerry Rice and Cris Carter, then they'd have 3 HoF WRs in their WR corps, and that still wouldn't make it a good unit. Holt is barely adequate as a WR2 anymore, and Sims-Walker is very good, but he's no Andre Johnson or Larry Fitzgerald.As for changing up the playcall to loosen up the defense... I think the defense is already pretty loose when you're down by 14 in the 4th quarter. It's not like you need to call passes so that they won't expect a run anymore.So far this season, MJD has gotten 15 or fewer carries five times, which to me seems like a gross misuse of resources, especially in light of MJD's 8/177/2 day against Tennessee. Some teams I'll get on them for running too much, but Jacksonville is nowhere near the point where I'm ready to start criticizing them for running too much. And yeah, they can toss it to MJD, too... but MJD's not going to be running vertical routes. If they throw it to him, it'll be a screen or a dumpoff, which is functionally the same thing as a running play, anyway. It's slow-developing and unlikely to get huge chunks of yardage at a time. If that's your plan, you might as well just hand it off to MJD, or at the very least run some sweeps and pitches (why does nobody run pitch plays anymore?) to give him a chance to get to the sidelines.
If I had to guess, the speed of the defenses now particulary at the end position or the outside lb's in the 3-4 has made this play non exhistent because it is easy to see coming and react to.
Average at best with no upside.
And you are the epitome of a very average speller.
Possibly, although I feel like I was seeing pitches as recently as 3-5 years ago. Seems weird to think that things would have changed that much that quickly. Maybe it's a result of the rebirth of the 3-4. I don't know. If I were running a team, I'd add "bringing back the pitch play" to my list of sweeping reforms (alongside the shovel pass, the fleaflicker, and going for it more on 4th down).
nah, maybe J'ville knows they're bread is buttered at the RB position because they simply cannot rely upon their QB to win games...
and their coaching staff is one of the worst in the NFL.
p0\/\/ned! lolGarrard has upside to well above the average QB. at his worst, he's average. this from a pats fan.
66% isn't that great.
The third target was also completed.To the other team.So MSW caught the only two passes he could have caught. I think he has every right to be frustrated. Last week, he was wide-### open constantly and Garrard never looked at him. Yesterday, Garrard ignored him again. While I think his Tweet was based on emotion and frustration he was 100% correct. And it was clearly directed at those responsible for ignoring him in the game plan. I think it starts with the playcalling and then goes straight to Garrard.
He posted 6-64-1 last week and looked healthy and explosive. He had a beatable matchup in a game that projected to feature the Jags trailing and needing to throw it a lot in order to try and keep up. I'm not upset at myself for starting MSW. He earned it in my opinion. But s**t happens in this game sometimes and yesterday was a prime example of a good player being taken out of a potentially productive game by a poor QB.
15 points in my PPR league is a pretty good game. Based on what he showed last week, how healthy he looked and how the matchup strongly favored the Jags having to pass a lot I think he was a rock-solid WR2 option this week and he looked to be back on track after the three-week lull. It didn't work out that way obviously but I'm not kicking myself for starting him. I believe I made the right call and I don't get upset when I make the proper call and it doesn't work out for one reason or another.
the titans run the option. it can still be done.
I am beyond terrible at spelling this I agree with. "poWned?" are we 15 year old gamers?
This season...All these guys have much better QB's too and look at their catch percentages on the year. I would say 66% is pretty darn good company.Fitz: 64% AJ: 59%Moss: 59%Wayne: 67%
I don't hear any of them whining about getting the ball more either.
Over a 100 targets, a 66% catch rate is phenomenal.Over 3 targets, a 66% catch rate doesn't mean anything. I mean, if a guy's a 50% receiver, he's as likely to wind up at 66% after 3 targets as he is to wind up at 33%. The sample size just isn't big enough that you can offer up a 66% catch% as a reason why Jacksonville should have kept going back to MSW. Plenty of other reasons, but that one doesn't really fly.Carter_Can_Fly said:
I totally agree with this. My post was in response to somebody else saying 66% catch rate is not good, when in turn it can be very good of course taken in the context of a season.For what it is worth... Sims-Walker has 61 catches on a 104 targets for a 59% total.
