Mosley on OTA

[Alexander]

per McMahon:
"...Romo and Williams clicked later during team drills. Williams went up over CB Alan Ball to snatch a deep ball from Romo, who threw a rope to Williams' back shoulder. Williams scored another touchdown on a skinny post in front of SS Gerald Sensabaugh during red-zone drills."

WEIRD. Mosely is a HACK with an ESPNesque AGENDA.

That's funny because I hear MacMahon is an imbecile on this board all the time. So he suddenly became more observant and intelligent?

 

[Bob Sacamano]

I thought the Cincinnati players weren't participating because they haven't graduated yet?

Smith graduated already
Mike Mickens has to stay behind

My concern for Mosley's report is that it is so starkly opposite the other reports about Romo and Williams, and over 2 passes. It has nothing to do with McMahon really. I don't hear anyone else harping on how bad they look trying to find chemistry. In fact, one report (I forget from who) said they missed on a deep route, and before the coaches could order it run agian, they did it themselves and connected. Please tell me why Mosely is 100% right and everyone else is wrong. Or is this simply about McMahon and you don't accpet Mosely's report either.

I don't think anyone is disputing what plays Mosely or McMahon see and describe, just about their opinions. Especially when they admit it was only two plays they(in this case Mosely) were basing that opinion on.

I dunno...ya throw the ball...ya catch the ball.

I realize there are pre-snap reads, etc...but sometimes I think this "developing chemistry" thing is really blown out of proportion.

If we were discussing Aikman, who was a precision guy, I'd be more willing to embrace the Williams/Romo discussion.

well our offense is timing-based like back in Aikman's day

In a timing system you have to know someone's speed and tendencies. If Roy Williams ran to a spot and turned and waited for Romo to throw it to that spot the theory above would work. Not what we do.

hell, it's more than just knowing someone's speed and tendencies, it's trusting that that player is going to be there when the ball gets there, you don't wait till the player makes his cut to get to that spot, the ball is already leaving your hand

I think that's what you're saying, I just had to elaborate

Look back at every report from these OTAs all offseason. Each one seems to contradict the other. Mosley contradicts McMahon, Orsborn is the opposite of this other one. One says Romo threw a rope, the other states Romo threw a wobbly pass.

It just goes to show you that it is just specious information and hardly an accurate eyewitness account. You will never get that. When you have that kind of inconsistency, the truth is in the middle and there's no reason to believe one over the other. Or label one as having an AGENDA because you don't like what you read.

even if the negative reports are true, I don't put much emphasis on them now, I remember '06, the reports how Anthony Henry was being tormented in OTAs, and he still went onto have a great 1st half before getting injured

You and I can be standing on a corner talking and witness a wreck. We will not see the exact same wreck.

It is no surprise to me that opinionated reporters would see two different things as they watch the practices unfold.

I just think evidence based on 2 plays is specious. It has nothing to do with Mosley. I'd have the same doubts if it was said by Brad Sham or Frank Luksa. Sham BTW reported on one video that they look great together so far.

 

[Apollo Creed]

Hamlin was a great addition. I like having smart(er) players in our secondary.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

I bet McNabb and DeSean Jackson have completed every pass this offseason.

If only we were the Eagles.

Yep.

Next up when Mosley visits Giants camp, a report on how Nicks looks like an All-Pro already, and Barden is coming along faster than they expected.

Book it.

 

[adbutcher]

Could it be that Romo and Williams simply had one poor practice? Why must the worst possible scenario necessarily be the correct one?

One poor practice does not negate an entire off-season of improvement.

You just don't get it. Being a realist means that the most negative view is the real view and never, never, never the other way around.

 

[Angus]

Why am I not surprised Mosley reported some garbage like that?

He was there; you weren't.

Williams couldn't run good routes last year. Maybe he still has trouble doing that. There weren't any reports about Romo having trouble connecting with other receivers, were there?

 

[Idgit]

Let's not get carried away. MacMahon's an imbecile and that can't be helped.

I used to think Mosely was pretty good. I'd agree that he's less fun to read now than he used to be now that he uses his powers for evil instead of good.

 

[Angus]

Can you say O T A?

Supposedly, they've been practicing with each other for weeks and weeks before the OTAs commenced. No excuse.

[jterrell]

Just curious, but is the "BS" you're referring to have anything to do with anything negative he said about the Boys? I'd tend to believe him if he says Romo and Roy aren't connecting per what he's seen. Media reports are about parsing together a bunch of different reports and I'm sure he's just calling it like he sees it.

Don't understand the vitriol being thrown at MM. He was one of the good ones when he was at the DMN.

Its his continued slant since having his feelings hurt by T.O.

Its almost shocking he didn't mention T.O.

You are right, Mosley "was" one of the good ones. That's why the change was so obvious to anyone following the team. Perhaps you were merely out of contact for a good while.

 

[Doctor32]

Yep.

That's what is so hilarious about it. Mosely won't visit Giants camp. He is a glorified blogger, and a sidekick on a poorly rated FM sports talk show.
