A tell on John Kitna

[Idgit]

He's got a great name for a linebacker.

Write Mickey. No joke. He's dropped hints like this to the coaches before.

I would hope our coaches would pick that up with out the help of NFL network.:

Remember when guys were keying off on Al Johnson's snaps?

Wasn't it someone who posted on an internet message board the one who figured it out?

Exactly. They are paid professionals. I would hope they could figure that out on their own.

For that matter, the lions have paid professionals who should be able to tell Kitna to knock it off.

I remember reading that also. Seriously, like Hos said, this should be forwarded to Spags.

In that case, I've figured out that five Julius Jones runs per game should be replaced by screen passes to Julius.

I'll be expecting it to take place beginning this Sunday.

Watched the Green Bay game.

5 of 5 backpedals resulted in passes to the left. One was left of center just a little but Im just splitting the field in half and calling either right or left.

there was one where he threw to a receiver crossing the middle but the pass was caught past the left hash marks and kitna never even looked away from the left side of the field.

Don't really want to watch the Minny game. That last one was boring as can be, even in fast forward and skipping huge chunks.

Baldinger on NFL Network said something interesting a couple of weeks ago about John Kitna. When he backpedals on his dropbacks, he will throw to his left almost every time. When he drops back normally, he throws to the middle or to his right almost every time.

After seeing Baldinger say this, I watched the next Lions game and it was true.

I think that's pretty normal for QB's really. From the way I was taught (we didn't use a backpedal dropback), that you throw to the left on the backpedal dropback to get the ball out quicker. With the normal dropback you wind up turning your back to the receiver and it takes up extra time. But then again, I never played in a system that used a dropback backpedal.

If you are talking about Baldinger, he was a guard.

DING, DING, DING you have a winner. watch a left handed QB and I bet it is the exact opposite, it is all about positioning of the feet to get a good throw.

It is the coaches that set up the offense to be run that way. They tell the QB how to drop back and where the primary receivers are on any given play.

Yeah, its really not a surprise to me that he does it consistently. His stance is so open he would either have to jump spin or just weakly heave something up if he wanted to go to the other side of the field.

Most right handed quarterbacks do this to throw left because it would take too much time to a drop back side stepping you would for middle to right side of the field throws.
