    With the money they make, he shouldn't.

     

    My ex and I got a nanny and that nanny helped us sleep.

     

    They can afford more coverage than we could.

     

    It's not even the lack of sleep, extra duties, etc.

    I am 100% convinced that having your first child rewires a guys brain and turns every man into a bumbling buffoon from about the 5th month of pregnancy until the baby is approaching a year old.

    Listening to Josh post Panthers seems to reinforce what it looks like on the field- Josh prefers to pass from shotgun but our running O is better under center. Josh talked about his drops from under center and his lack of trust of his feet being the major problem for him Sunday. Statistically in 25 Josh has a PR of 109.7 from shotgun and that drops to 89.3 under center. On the other hand James Cook is gaining over 5 YPC under center while dropping below 4 from shotgun. Curiously EPA stats suggest in the Panthers game the opposite was true- they have us more effective running from shotgun and more effective passing from under center. I have to presume the successful pitches from shotgun with long gains skew that in favor of shotgun, while the season long stats tell the story differently. 

     

    If they keep spreading people out and murdering them with that outside zone toss like they were last week, they can probably run all the shotgun they want the rest of the year. Allen's a good ball handler and you can freeze LB's enough with it that it should be almost as effective as traditional PA without Allen having to turn his back to the LOS. Feed Gilliam inside once in a while to keep people thinking instead of running, hit Kincaid up the seam once a half and you can create enough confusion to have the defense spinning like dreidels (a line I stole from you 20 years ago;-).

    Too many of our DBs/LBs are content to stay home in the middle of their zone, then too slow to react to routes coming their way until the ball is already caught.

     

    If that was Tre in coverage, that's a TD on the crosser.

     

    Tre White has made multiple plays coming off his first priority over the years.

    He's shown a very solid knack for it at times.

    It's how much do these guys take the coaching truly Simon 

     

    But football is such a fast sport..

     

    There's an element of natural ability too, both physical and mental.

    Having the physical capability to be that in control of your route and also the mental ability to make those decisions and adjustments in real time is unreal and something I think most folks don't appreciate.

    Honestly I'd reverse this argument entirely. It's the guys in trail position who are closing on the WR while the (ostensibly underthrown) pass approaches and the WR throttles down to adjust, causing the DB to contact him without playing the ball...

     

    A DB can't assume by default that every ball is going to be underthrown; he has to attack where he thinks the catch point is going to be, which would be at the end of the route. If it is underthrown, he probably has a better chance to avoid contact if he's watching the WR gear down than if he's spinning around off-balance trying to find the ball.

    The fact that the world's best coaches now coach it this way should be enough to settle the debate, imo.
