I was referring to blocking mostly. Stew is still one of the best, if not the best. 

He is still one of the better backs at yards after contact (if not the best when looking at his entire body of work).

But, getting back to blocking, it's not overrated, it's necessary. Stew knows his assignments, and I seriously doubt Fournette's gonna buck the odds and be up to par from day 101, much less day one.

Many forget that Stew was the worst blocking back in the league in either 2009 or 2010 as rated by PFF. It takes most guys a few years to become good blockers.

Less consequences to blitzing when the other team knows that our go-to move to counter blitzes is to keep the RB in to blitz. Now that LB or S who would be responsible for covering the RB are free to blitz. Same with utilizing the #2 TE almost exclusively as a blocker. I dont understand why we didn't simply run more tackle eligible plays. We essentially had a receiving TE playing tackle eligible anyway. Teams started countering these types of moves by simply blitzing the guys who would've been responsible for covering these players. They could do that because we didn't have any receiving threats that scared them other than Olsen. If you feel comfortable single covering our receivers, you're free to send the extra blitzers to counter our extra blockers.

IF this talk of three QBs potentially in the top 10 is accurate - and I think that's a big "if" - it gives credibility to the reports that the Browns are torn between Garrett and Trubisky. I'm sure they see Garrett as the top talent in he draft, but they've desperately needed a QB for decades now. If you're not going to have a shot at one at #12 or a reasonable trade up (like to #8 for instance), then you have to seriously consider taking that QB at #1. Look at the Texans with JJ Watt. Probably the most dominant DE since Reggie White and they've got nothing to show for his career because they don't have a QB.

My thoughts as well.

QBs rise and I think 3 go first round.  And maybe more.  The Cal QB could be a bigtime surprise pick in round 1.

Trubisky
Mahones
Kizer
Watson 

I think they are all locks for the first round. Three in the top 10 is...optimistic, but could happen.

And when we always take deep drops and look for long passes, it is far easier for the delayed blitz to get there. I agree, which is one reason why I'd like to see us get a real TE2 who can be an outlet. I'd also like to see us use the RB as an outlet. Most other teams have their RB flare out when he's not needed to block. Ours will continue to look and help. In the play I mentioned, if Stewart goes into the left flat (where he looked to help), David has 0 chance to get to Stewart, but he knows that all he needs is Stewart to look away and he has a free run with no worry about Stewart catching a pass.

God, I still want Shula gone. 8 receptions for our starting RB in 2016. Effing 8.

Great post - and this is one of the primary reasons I want the Panthers to find a way to add McCaffrey.

A good receiving back - that can also legitimately run between the tackles - puts so much stress on a defense. It's not a coincidence that both SB teams last year feature their RBs in the passing game.

It's time to evolve.

2 before us has been my thoughts for months... just my opinion though.

Every year QBs go high.

Glennon was brought in to give a rookie 12 months with a clipboard (will likely still take over late in the year)

I'll bet that target is Trubiski... sending other teams (jets or browns) into a trade up frenzy.

Cam just sucks at short passes. I just don't think he is a big of fit as everyone thinks. He just throws bullets within 3 yds and the guys can't catch them.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
