Urban Meyer still scoring on Saturdays
PaoloBillsFanFromItaly replied to Process's topic in The Stadium Wall
Gunner said "Is it indicative maybe of him not quite being the "all ball" type personality we expect from NFL Head Coaches?" Oh yes, this is the only thing I can get. But...what about cheating you wife in your own restaurant? Where everybody know about you? Seriously? -

Hmmm I really don't see anything here... Maybe I'm just Italian and there is a huge cultural bias, I don't know. I see just a man drinking a take photos with fans. -
Pass Interference in the NFL is a complete joke

I agree, Knox pushed to get separation. Receivers get away with OPI more often than not. -

Thing is that most calls can be easily reversed by watching on replays. But when challenging the PI was a thing, the refs simply refused to overturn the calls. -

Hmmm no, I agree on the spot foul. I don't agree that when the ball is contented between the receiver and the DB, a catch is called. It shouldn't be an interception either. It should be called an incomplete pass. -

In my opinion we are in a time when DB are very penalized by DPI, in order to get back to a fair game: - Don't allow the WR/TE to push (extending the arms) to get separation at the top of the route, call OPI damn it! [in the rules but rarely called] - Allow the DB to play through the receiver if DB is playing the ball. Of course DB cannot HIT before the ball arrives, but some contact (basketball style) must be allowed. This will allow DB to defend taller and heavier TEs on curl routes. [update the rules] - Allow the DB to defend his position [in the rules, but sometimes DPI is called when contact occurs] - Don't call DPI if offender initiates contact and DB is not playing the ball (the infamous call on Levi in Steelers game) [I think it is in the rules, but most of the times it goes the other way] - Allow the DB to guard the offender without playing the ball and without initiating contact [it's in the rules, but sometimes DPI is called] - Don't call DPI if ball cannot be received [it's in the rules, but very rarely applied] - Allow hand-checking and hand-fighting, call DPI only if DB grab the jersey and/or lock the arm, and/or block the receiver (one block is allowed no more than 5 yards downfield) [I think rules are not clear] - LB are allowed to hit the receveivers less than 5 yds downfield (usually on crossing patterns) ? Time ago was a big part of the game. I want to see this again. -

Ok he covered the curl route. -
Picking up Edmunds Option a Rare Beane Mistake
PaoloBillsFanFromItaly replied to Billy Zabka's topic in The Stadium Wall
The debate is dominated by extremes because Tremaine is a former first round pick and a big investiment by the organization. If Tremaine was a third round pick nobody would complain. -
Picking up Edmunds Option a Rare Beane Mistake
PaoloBillsFanFromItaly replied to Billy Zabka's topic in The Stadium Wall
The point with Edmunds is its "averageness" in the running game. Most of the time is doing is job, ok, but he very rarely makes a great play. For example, he may shoot his gap and meet the pulling guard closing the gap of his responsibility, but he won't BEAT the pulling guard and make the tackle in the backfield. When the OL reaches the LB level he never make a great play, most of the times he is carried downfield by olinemen thus giving the RB a good amount of yardage. In the passing game is very good, but pedestrian, and he has not good hands to make plays on the ball. -
