  1. Ah yes, the same Iowa game where CJ Johnson dropped an easy bomb in the endzone. Wasn't Allen's best game for sure, but the talent around him in 2017 compared to 2016 was like going from a Mercedes to a Ford Pinto. Wyoming lost C (Redskins), WR (Bears), WR (Saints), TE (Patriots) and RB (Bengals) after the 2016 season. The 2017 squad was bad yet he still managed to get them to a bowl game and win.
  2. Thank God the Jets didn't pick him at three. I attended most of the Wyoming home games and my seat was along the stairwell by the press boxes and I remember seeing the Jet scouts all the time.
  3. Because many of these scouts and GMs are like some of the know-it-alls here at TBD where only big boys from big boy programs who put up big time college stats can only be successful. Remember the heated debate this summer where forum members were saying Fromm was gonna challenge Allen for the job. That was a fun debate; of course many of those posters are eating their words now.
  4. I got you, but what I am saying is they drove down there pretty much at ease doing what they do. But once KC scored 14, I feel they went into "trying to keep up mode" instead of doing what they best in heavy running and play action.
  5. I appreciate what you moderators do and have to put up with. As long as posters can still post a picture of Kay Adams, I'm okay.
  6. Yeah; after looking back, I could have been more clear. Thanks for pointing that out.
  7. I was replying to someone about Knox. My comment was about lighting a fire under Knox.
  8. The blueprint to "contain" Lamar Jackson is fairly straight forward but often too difficult. It starts with run defense up the middle and edge discipline to try and keep Lamar in the pocket. If the RBs gash the middle, it's gonna be a long day. If Lamar can get the edge it's gonna be a long day. He's so damn fast that you think they have a line on them but he still gets the edge and turns the corner for a big gain. The other part is to control their TEs in play action which is easier said than done because if the LBs are being sucked up to stop the run, the TEs will have more space. Therefore, the goal is to stop the run up the middle, control the edge, control the TEs, and force him to throw to the edge. Baltimore panicked last night and felt they had to get into a shootout. If they would have stuck with what their strength is, they might have had a better chance.
  9. If DEs aren’t disciplined in containment, Lamar is going to eat you up.
