Buffaloed in Pa Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 You people complain about everything . Well Holcomb is a noodle arm dink and dunk passer..yea right Ive been to a practice or two and watched him throw and he has enough arm to throw the deep ball. As a matter of fact we`ll see old dink and dunk BRADY this week ,who has how many RING`s. So get off the rag people,it`s the play calling ...NOT Da PLayer,when it comes to KELLY
gmac17 Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 and Brady isn't even doing that much dink and dunk these days....

Orton's Arm Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 Between them, Joe Montana and Tom Brady have dinked and dunked their way to seven Super Bowl rings. It always helps if your team has a defense and an offensive line.
BillsObserver Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 Between them, Joe Montana and Tom Brady have dinked and dunked their way to seven Super Bowl rings. It always helps if your team has a defense and an offensive line. 488641[/snapback] I think there's a misconception with Holcomb; it is he can't throw the deep ball because he's got a weak arm. I tend to think the truth regarding that is he loses accuracy with the deep ball so he tends to dink and dunk it more. His offensive line hasn't given him much time when we do call for the deep plays. If you're an NFL quarterback, you have to be able to throw the ball downfield. Even Pennington, who's probably got the weakest arm in the league could toss the ball at least 40 yards. Everyone points toward Holcomb's big game against Pitt in the playoffs, when speaking of his limited success. In that game, he did go deep quite often so he's definitely capable of throwing the longball. For a variety of reasons, it just hasn't happened yet. I'm not trying to defend the guy because I'd like to see Losman get his reps but he has been getting ripped for his arm a lot lately. He isn't that old. You think the guy would be in the NFL if he wasn't capable of throwing beyond 25 yards? I have a feeling we'll be forcing the longball in the next few games.
The Dean Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 I have a feeling we'll be forcing the longball in the next few games. 488701[/snapback] While you are probably right...I'd like to see us run 35-40 times per game over the next few games, w/Willis getting at least 30 carries.
Hollywood Donahoe Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 As a matter of fact we`ll see old dink and dunk BRADY this week... Brady hasn't been a "dink and dunk" QB since 2002.
stuckincincy Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 Brady hasn't been a "dink and dunk" QB since 2002. 488748[/snapback] What's up with Dillon? Think he'll play?
Hollywood Donahoe Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 What's up with Dillon? Think he'll play? Last I heard was that he's missed practices this week. Most of the mainstream media's been acting like he'll play, but with the Pats' injury luck this year, I'll guess he sits out.

I assume Pass is 100%. He's a pretty good player IMO.
Larry Playfair Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 Brady hasn't been a "dink and dunk" QB since 2002. 488748[/snapback] He leads the NFL with 1,821 yards, averaging 303.5 per game.
William The Conqueror Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 That's too bad - he's a great player to watch. I assume Pass is 100%. He's a pretty good player IMO. 488838[/snapback] Pass is an excellent player, catches well, a good, straight ahead runner. A poor man's Stephen Davis.
William The Conqueror Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 What's up with Dillon? Think he'll play? 488784[/snapback] During the portion of practice open to the media the last 2 days, Dillon's practiced.
Hollywood Donahoe Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 That's too bad - he's a great player to watch. Well, don't take my word for it. As a Pats fans who doesn't live in Pats country, I'm not always the MOST up-to-date on news of this nature. Some national media member was talking about Dillon's chances of tearing up the Buffalo run defense, as if it was a given that he would play, so maybe my news is old. I assume Pass is 100%. He's a pretty good player IMO. Yes, Pass is one of the notable few who ISN'T on the injury report, and has done a great job filling in for the injured Dillon and Faulk. I don't blame Dillon entirely for the Pats' running woes (the OL has been bad), but Pass has seemed to run better behind the same OL. He's definitely stepped up.
Hollywood Donahoe Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 During the portion of practice open to the media the last 2 days, Dillon's practiced. Ah, thank you. That's great news. Last I heard, he wasn't practicing.
