Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 A good to great tight end helps. Look at teams that throw to the TE in the red zone, then look at our sorry group. And a big WR. As we saw in the preason, I think Hardy and Royal are good enough to be good (not great) red-zone targets--they're just not used that much down there.
LynchMob23 Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 To be fair though, a good reason we were behind in the Rams game was Hardy's inability to catch two or three balls in a row to him at the line. And Royal every year has a great catch followed by a fumble on the same play - so a lot has to do with trust in said players...
Fan in San Diego Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 I think we do a lot of long time possesion type drives. We have the ball for 15 plays , 8 minutes and then a TD. This makes for lower scoring games than what SD and NO are doing. They have more quick strike TD's and therefore there stats are a higher.
MarkyMannn Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 On the list of top ten QBs to date (by passer rating), Trent is tied at #4 with Aaron Rodgers (98.8). One stat that immediately jumps out at me is the lack of TDs (5), when compared to Rivers (16), Romo (14), Warner (12), Rodgers (12), and Brees (12). While that stat might lead one to believe Edwards is compiling statistics via a "pop gun" short yardage passing game, another statistic belies that notion -- yards per pass play. Edwards ranks 5th in that category at 8.0 -- a great number for a QB. Combined with a 2nd-best completion percentage of 69.7, it is clear that the passing offense under Edwards is extraordinarily productive. Credit obviously goes to Schonert and the receivers as well. I believe we'll see the TD numbers start to increase more significantly in the weeks to come. (FWIW, Chad Pennington has put up remarkably similar stats for Miami so far -- 8th in rating, 4th in comp. %, 8.1 YPP, and 6 TDs -- so the Bills had better be prepared) You missed a big stat. Protecting the ball, he only 2 INT's. Only one QB has less
Mark Long Beach Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 You missed a big stat. Protecting the ball, he only 2 INT's. Only one QB has less Excellent point. It further adds to the accuracy statistic. Makes good decisions and can put the ball where he wants to. I likey.
C.Biscuit97 Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 You missed a big stat. Protecting the ball, he only 2 INT's. Only one QB has less And the 1 INT was very questionable to say the least. It's hard enough to beat one team, let alone 2 (yourself). I think it will be very rare to see a TE-led team ever get blown out (or lose ).
