As we watch the 2019 Draft, lets consider the stupid draft analysis talk we will hear over the next 3 days. Hear is mine:
1. "Sometimes he disappears on tape" - Does that mean the player is a magician. It is usually given to describe defensive players not making plays consistently. What makes it so stupid is that a great player making great plays on defense is not going to keep doing it all game. The opposing coach will either stop running to that player's side of the field, triple team that player like Clemson did to Williams, or stop throwing to that player's side of the field (if DB). So it is a stupid analysis. Plus the football field measures 100 yards, and 53 1⁄3 yards wide. In addition, there are end zones extending another 10 yards past the goal lines to the "end lines", for a total length of 120 yards. Only 22 players are on the field at one time. So it is easy to so call "disappear" on about an acre of land. This is stupid draft analysis talk.
2. "QB can't see over the line" - This is stupid because OL are judge how well they bend their knees to get leverage on run plays and and get in position on pass protection. So a 6-5 OL suddenly becomes a 6-0 OL or less when he bends his knees to block. Also the QB then drops back 3-8 steps from the line or is in shotgun with a clear view of the line of scrimmage. It is a stupid analysis. Why do +6-5 QBs have a hard time making it in the NFL? This is stupid draft analysis talk.
3. "plant and explode" - This is stupid because E = mc2. You can't plant and explode. You will do one or the other. If you plant you are standing still to have no motion or not to be moved. When have you seen a tree or flower you planted explode? What happens before a football play is all the players SET then explode. Set means to place yourself in position to explode. That's why you hear before any foot race....Ready.....SET....Go. This is stupid draft analysis talk.
What other stupid draft analysis talk you think we will hear this weekend?
