Fake-Fat Sunny Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Willis Mcgahee because of his ability to pick up a blitz. We have seen what our offense was like with travis henry and his inability to do blitz pickup.322569[/snapback] The main benefit I saw from WM in blitz pick-up was his running. LBs abd DBs seemed to fear WM might go wide or take the hand-off on a delay to such an extent that it reduced the blitzing. In addition, TC established that he was willing to commit Bledsoe to the QB draw for positive though not TD yardage and also liberal use of the flea-flicker pitch back which made defenders wait before commiting to the blitz. WM seemed to have problems with blitz pick-up like any rookie from what I saw early on. Henry had issues (such as when he went the wrong way late in the NE game) but this was not an issue talked about much at all in his 2nd and 3rd seasons and seems to be a rant that came out when folks were looking for any way possible to badmouth a runner with consecutive 1300+ yard seasons. Are there any particular games you are refering to that featured outstanding blit pick-up work by WM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Naturally WM would seem to be the answer, but CV would be my next choice, and it is close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
