Good to see Tyron without the elbow or neck brace. Probably doesn't matter in OTAs, but it's a good sign I'd think.

You mean the knee brace that goes on his elbow.

Lol I thought about writing that but didn't want to deal with explaining it

 

[Stash]

Kazee is already out there

I was checking on that as well. Good to see.

My hope is they get back to running the ball much more effectively. If we are throwing 50 times a game I don’t see a great season for the team
I’d be running 40% of the time assuming you can
The key to me is an effective run game and control the ball and the clock. Force other teams to play catch-up in a short game

I'd do whatever is more effective in getting that early lead. Then you can try to dictate the pace of the game. They did that effectively a few years back, when a dominant running game was able to control the game and cover for a mediocre or worse defense.

Lord, please keep them all healthy and injury free. Amen!

 

[nalam]

Can you win CPOY and MVP in the same season?

If That would mean NFC championship or SB , then yes !!!!

A lot of mad fans out there today. Kazee, Smith and Collins all out there

I disagree. Passing game is much more efficient than the running game in most down & distances and the offense should be balanced as such.

I would like to see more pass plays on 1st down. Overall general optimal pass play percentages should be 73%–83%.

I think that’s too hard on a defense
I do like passing more on first downs but I also like play action
If you are running 20% of the time there is no play action
Obviously passing plays are gonna generate more yards but a effective runs game gives you easier down field shots
If you force a team to play the run it gives a QB more time as well
I think 60-40 pass to run is ideal although it will vary week to week and you have to run effectively

Actually, statistics have showed that the amount you run has no impact on the success of play-action (which I would also like to see increase, as well as pre-snap motion).

He’s limping terribly in that short video!

they call that Primping not limping, hes dancing aka prancing..

 

[blueblood70]

i notice he the red jersey and betting the coaches made it clear no one within 2 yards falling anywhere near his foot..when hes actually going live with players allowed to hit, tackle, and shove him in game will be the true test..I feel like TB on the road game 1 he could lay a bit cautious, ground bunch of balls early to avoid contact..or at least GP that has ton of checkdown installed until he gets comfortable holding the ball and not looking down the rush..

The statistics though are based off the fact teams still do run on early downs and defenses are reactive to that fact. Once defenses are aware you don't run on early downs they will adjust to that fact. Now once they do, the offensive coordinator needs to react to that and start running again.

I love motion
Make the defense have to think and move
Creates confusion and easy completion

Also didn’t mention it in the OP but Keanu Neal #42 has definitely put on some weight. He looks a lot more like the guy who’s supposed to man that LB/S hybrid role.

He’s a missile going downfield in the run game (ATL had the 7th best rush defense in 2020, Neal had 100 combined tackles/76 solo). With them not forcing him to play deep or out-of-the-box often, the coverage he’ll be asked to do as a WLB should completely minimize the type of stuff that got him beat at S.

I have 2 of those exact knee braces from my 2 torn acl surgeries. I put one on my elbow once to see, man my arm was swimming in that thing!

If a team never ran on ealry downs or reduced in a really dramatic fashion (like sub 10% or something), yes it could potentially affect the success rate of PA.

But a team would not likely reduce the running downs to the threshold that it would make a difference.

Tyron and La'el look like Greek gods out there. Don't know if either has a once of fat on them

According to some posters here. La'el is bone on bone in his hip and he will never play football again. Incredible seeing him in uniform if thats true right?

All you have to do is watch the Rams to see this. They run play action almost every passing play regardless of how often they run. They frequently run PA on the first play if drives.
