I'm not really interested in talking to posters that are incapable or unwilling to examine players through a wide angle lense.
Its boring and soporific to me to look at players one way just because they play for your favorite team.
And to be labelled as being negative or not liking a player is lazy and superficial.
Janoris Jenkins was my top corner coming out and nobody was harder on him than I was his first couple of years with the Rams.
I consistently pointed out things I wanted him to cleanup, getter better eye discipline, clean-up his foot work be more physical off the line etc., etc.
I do that with all players.
If I don’t like a player I will flat out say it like I did with Nick Foles, Austin Davis, Barrett Jones, Adam Carriker or Damione Lewis the list goes on and on.And this underappreciation of still shots is mind boggling to me.
They are invaluable at looking at a play, so much so that head coaches quarterbacks, defensive coaches and players study them on the sidelines during games.They show formations, coverages, route combinations pressure points in certain coverages just everything regarding what took place on any given play.
They assist coaches in making in-game adjustments on both sides of the ball.Not acknowledging their value is tantamount to nullifying the term "freeze frame"... that is what a still shot is.
The stills being posted on the board are invaluable and can help education everyone on the complexities of the game.
They also reflect what I see sitting at almost every home game at the 42 yard line 15 rows up.
Most home games me and Ronnie sit there and go through every play.
Especially during the Seattle game Ronnie sits there all game saying
"look he’s playing inside technique its man coverage he's using the boundary as an extra defender"."Pre-snap Goff should go to Watkins here". Watkins has his man beat, Goff gives a cursory look then goes to the other side out of bounds.Or he'll say "Goff is script reading half’s he's not reading backside tags".
"McVay is giving Goff pass/run options depending on the look"That's invaluable real-time stuff that reveals itself in the stills posted. I appreciate B&G and Govane posting them.
If you want to learn the game you should study B&G's still, he knows football!!
Mama you just listen to ME!
Its no secret I preferred Wentz over Goff but Goff is our qb and I want him to succeed.
Goff is not there yet he’s on a script and when things don’t go per script like against Minny you gotta go off script and in a game where one or two plays can determine the outcome, you have a smaller margin of error.You gotta hit the plays when they’re there!!So I want Goff to clean this up, I wanna see progression in this area.When he has a clean pocket and everything goes per script he throws one of the best deep balls in the game!!
But he has a long way to go in being able to take over a game, or be clutch in pressure situations.
What he did in the final minutes of the Seattle game against a soft zone in prevent...doesn't move ME.
The game should never have come down to the final minute.
There were too many other plays left on the field. He misses far too many plays, especially in the redzone.
I like Goff I just wanna see steady progression in the nuisances of the position.I don't see it....YET!
Best,
