QB Sneak Specialist

[TheBrownBear]

Maybe we could find like an 8', 650 lb guy to just fall forward?

No! Sign that guy to be the Sabres goalie!  Fill the crease!

I heard NFL gonna take this play out because it makes games too close. 

[K-9]

“Low man wins” is an age old football reality. And the QB has nothing to do with that.

I like where this is going! 
 

 

 

 

EJ can't come back, #3 is already taken.

I agree being able to get 1 yard on demand is hugely tactically important.

 

But the "roster spot" shouldn't go to the ball carrier.  How about to a monster center to plow the path for the ball carrier. Get some nose guard in here and teach him to snap the ball.  Some guy who's ass is bigger than my body.

 

I'm talking 360 lbs to begin with, in like a 6'2" frame.

 

😳

[Doc Brown]

It'll be interesting to see if they outlaw pushing a ball carrier forward this off-season.  It hurts the enjoyment of the game so they pry will.

[Nextmanup]

OK!  Here is the guy who is going to get the roster spot.

 

Tom Stoltman...a world's strongest man competitor from Scotland.

 

He's 6'8" and 408 lbs.

 

He squats 761 pounds and can dead lift 790 pounds.

 

Teach him to snap the ball, and then move anything in front of him backward.

Josh comes up from behind and stretches him arms out and that's at least 2 or 3 yards right there.

I’ve been screaming that a short yardage back is a major need for the Bills.  That takes Mike’s off Josh.

 

me personally-I want a bell cow RB that can block, catch, pick up 4th and 2, score from 90 yards, and line up wide

[muppy]

a poster in the game day thread yesterday called the sneak play Sexy. 😁

 

You can take that sarcastically or take it like I did.....Heck Yeah, the BIG Bodies  playing smash mouth football,  guys up in other guys butts the big PUSH.

 

I dont think you necessairily need a specialist to be the guy with the ball in those circumstances.  I certainly don't think that Josh Allen will want to shirk those plays off in any case.

 

Or if you want to remove he from the equation you put in a D Lineman and he better hang on to the danged ball. It is not his usual forte.

We have one.  His name is Joshua Patrick Allen.

Hurts squats 600 pounds aka 2 defensive linemen. Josh squats zero pounds because he says he doesn't do squats and doesn't lift much if ever.

Breaking news: Josh is weak lol cmon bruh

Sounds like you don't listen to Kyle Brandt's Basement where Josh literally said he doesn't work out and doesn't do squats. That's all I'm saying. Jalen Hurts is a known workout freak. He squats more than his OL

This might be the dumbest thread I've seen so far this year.

 

How is a sneak specialist worth a roster spot? Hurts is the Eagles starting QB and not eating up an extra roster spot to be a 3rd/4th and short specialist. You're not even making an argument here. 

 

FWIW the Bills offense were the best in the league at 3rd down conversions this year.

You know how it goes……these kids see something during a game that works for 1 team and think we need that as well…….prisoners of the moment!

Good luck stopping this guy's legs from moving forward in the pile

And it shows, he has a pooch gut.

You're onto something I've picked up on as well, from that show. 

 

I didn't hear Allen say he never works out, but he has talked about how when he works with Jordan Palmer, he is constantly trying to joke around, where as Burrow is all business. 

 

From that point on I started wondering about his weightroom training. 

 

He didn't get asked much in the way of off-season training at his last 2022 press conference, just if he was going to work with Palmer.

So do that 4xs for first downs 😳

Josh stayed in Buffalo last summer as he was building and moving into his house. He was in California the next day after locker clean out this year so not sure if he is staying there or coming back. I think he needs to refocus this off-season. Less golf, more football. He had his breakout year during COVID because he was in lockdown with Palmer and Darnold and Kyle Allen and literally couldn't do anything else but football

Eagles proficiency is entirely in their o line technique. I don’t see any other team drive block so low on sneaks. It’s crazy.

 

Jalen hurts has really strong legs too, so even if you get to him at the LOS and stand him up... there's a good chance he can drive forward against anyone on the defense.

Do you remember what episode of the Brandt podcast he said that in?
