Bolts on vs Pack

[Kilyin]

Interesting that Marty hasn't had Rivers change his motion...Ulgy but gets the job done I guess.

That's what I'm sayin. And I hate to quote Theismann, but even he mentioned Bernie Kosar's ugly release, but it got him in the HOF. Why not let the QB use his natural motion that got him in the NFL, instead of forcing something that's not there. Seems to be Schottenheimer's line of thinking too.

Don't forget who Marty coached in Cleveland.........Kosar.......

Good point.

I forgot about that..He must take an "if it aint broke don't fix it approach".

 

[Kilyin]

And you have to admit, Parcells isn't known for developing franchise QBs. I'd have to trust Marty on that.

Who? Kosar? Nope.

Coulda sworn he was in the Hall. Well, he is known as one of the most accurate passers.

That's true. I remember one passing streak where Kosar did not throw an interception. Don't know how many consecutive passes he threw without a pick, but at the time I believe it was a record.

I agree that I wouldn't change it, espically since he looked so good last year.

Although, I think it's fairly common to have he coaches work on young QB's mechanics. Hopefully, pays off in the long run.

Look, I'm as big a Henson fan as anyone, but think back to the KC pre-season game last year. Henson threw the ball terribly in that game and it was obvious he needed to change his delivery. I thought he was turning the double play at Yankee stadium, the way he threw it. I was shocked after all the glowing reports we were getting from camp.

It's ok to have an ugly delivery if you get the ball there consistently like Kosar did and Rivers did in college, but sometimes a player needs to correct problems that cause inconsistency.

Rogers looked lost.

 

[CaptainAmerica]

Rogers looked lost.

He is VERY mechanical. Not fluid and natural. Reminds me a lot of Kyle Boller. Must be Tedford's influence.

 

[ctalker]

Rogers looked lost.

Did he? I was hoping to get to see him play tonight.

I only saw him make a few throws before my girfriend made me change the channel. Oh well, didn't argue too much with her since it is preseason and not the cowboys. Got to save my battles for when they count.

 

[speedkilz88]

Lost like a rookie qb.

He held the ball too long... you could tell he was trying to visualize things happening rather than just making throws. Judging by this game though, his anticipation skills need a lot of work. This guy is maybe 2-3 years away from being reliable (if that). He fell to 24 for a reason, I see.

 

[CrazyCowboy]

All those bagging on Henson's throwing motion and crying for a trade for Rivers, really needs to look at Rivers throw.

I am no QB expert--just a novice, but Rivers just threw a nice one to #80 who spiked it over the goal post.......the little man in stripes raised both his hands in the air.....the scoreboard reflected 6 pts.....and Rivers was pumping his fist like Tiger Woods.....would that classify as a pretty good throw for Rivers?

Alright, thanks for the recap.

Rivers sucks

Rodgers has a real quick release - has a future in this league

Rodgers looked like crap from what I saw, wasnt impressed with him at all...Rivers was 12/17 when I quit watching, but would have liked to seen him throw more down field

I think he was referring to Rivers' mechanics... they're horribly stunted and super ugly looking... I think the knock on that is that you don't know how consistent he can be throwing like that. He has a cannon for an arm, but unless he changes his form, I don't think he'll ever put it where he wants 100% of the time.

This is the kids first preseason game of his career...Jeez

your right it is and eventually he may turn out ok...but you can see this kid is not an elite passer and IMO wasnt worthy of being a 1st rd pick
