Re: Observations from the Saints preseason loss to the Texans
Disappointing to hear about Book's struggles. Hope he figures it out before long. At this point it's probably safe to send him down to the practice squad based on our needs.

Can Dixon play on special teams? This is the only way I see him making the roster. |

I kinda get Nick Toon vibes watching Dixon.
Big, possession guys who can keep the chains moving. |

Damn, my fault Dixon. Don't want to jinx the guy. He has the ability and I hope he does well. |

I didn't watch the game but listening to Deuce Windham's perspective this morning he said that Penning seemed to struggle a lot when Book was dropping back much further than he was supposed to. Of course Lineman can't see where the QB is so the reps taken in camp give them an idea and a feel where the QB is supposed to be on the play. Yes, I feel a little dirty giving someone else's perspective on a game rather than my own but I thought that it was worth considering. |

Two people commented about a lack of pass rush before I commented and that was the basis of what I found troubling. I should do like you and go find supporting tweets before forming a matching opinion? Why you feel the need to address me is truly beyond me. You do not understand the difference between fundamentals and skills don't you (sorry, no you do not)? Fundamentals are taught in peewee and skill is what gets you into the NFL. Quote:

I don't know how many times I have heard about inexperienced QB's not properly utilizing the pocket. It's hard to imagine you haven't heard the same with your extensive knowledge. :rolleyes: Besides, iceshack was the one that pointed this out first if you would have taken the time to read the posts. My reply was just agreeing with his post. |

I like it. I like it a lot, so long as we don't get jammed up with smart QB's who know how to run an efficient hurry up offense. The blown coverages in the last two minutes of the Houston game (i'm assuming confusion in the secondary) must not become a regularity. |

How can this be true and the following also be true? From NFL.com 52) Saints first round pick Trevor Penning didn't start the preseason opener and then had the lowest PFF pass-blocking grade on the team, giving up a sack, a QB hit and three pressures with a penalty in 26 passing downs. Penning's competition at left tackle, James Hurst, played six snaps alongside the rest of the starters. https://www.nfl.com/news/2022-nfl-pr...es-position-ba |

That is where we differ, I do not have to 'hear about it', I played for years. OG/OT/DT and the QB "utilizing the pocket, has nothing to do with an OT knowing where he is, all any lineman knows is that the QB is behind them until they see either the ball or QB go past them lol. A QB release time is generally under 3 seconds from snap which gives no one time to even consider where he is, a lineman's first step is back/back left/back right/to their gap, after that its full on war lol. QBs drop back in a general direction but that is nothing more than a basic idea of where the play is going at start, the QB doesn't have a specific place to be and scrambles to where there is daylight.... After the snap on a pass, its bam.bam.bam with 250-300+lbs of walrus in your face for an offensive lineman. Ill tell you how a play goes whether in practice or on the field. The ball is snapped, the OL takes a 1/2 to full step back and braces for someone to be in his face until the whistle blows, a natural static pocket is created behind them. The QB either throws from the pocket, scrambles within the picked, the pocket collapses, or the QB leaves the pocket. Never from snap to whistle does a lineman turn around to have a f***ing clue as to where the QB is. A little more since you haven't a clue. Man: Everyone blocks a specific person. Zone: they step to the gap and block whom ever enters the gap. Form: After that 1/2 step back an OLineman cocks his arms to load his hands then uncoils to shove the defenders pads up under his face-mask to get him on his heals, most holding calls are because the lineman's hands slide to the outside of the chest area of the shoulder pads and he is just trying to hang on. Once hands slide outside, flags are thrown. If you couldn't get your head wrapped around that I will give you the short of it... From snap to release a QB is scrambling for his life, there is no one place he is expected to be lol. What you have heard is that some QBs do not have pocket awareness but that has zero to do with the line. Keep rolling your eyes, it suits your nature. |

Oh, and your calling me a "plagiaristic azz" makes you a "libelous azz". I have never knowingly presented anyone else's work or ideas as my own. I can easily say that 99% of what I know about football has come from others. I have opinions, of course, that have been based upon what I have read and heard over the past half a century. I respect the fact that you have played the game. But that doesn't mean that you know everything and anyone else's opinions and thoughts are not important and can be rightfully demeaned. |

Book lacks pocket presence & this could get him cut or on the practice squad. If you lack this trait as an NFL QB, you're toast. |
