Stupid Draft Analysis Talk

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?
e= mc2 is about the the speed of light mostly. The one ur looking for is f= ma. Force = mass x acceletation. :) planting does help. That way ur set to push off the ground and the more bent u are the more force u can exert by moving upwards while moving forward. If ur moving, and that force isn't controlled or headed in the right direction, its pretty much useless. Setting allows you to adjust force easier. Take Jeff heath, he sucks in tackling by missing because he doesn't do the breaking down adjusting while running after ball carriers , which is a kind of setting, thus missed too many tackles. However, when he does connect , it's usually effective, but way short , because he fails even then to break down, spreading out his force, and then not being able to use his legs as additional force producers. Heath can run fast, but that's about it. Never learned that being athletic is as much about adjusting forces on the run, as running fast. :) good physics is great athleticism. Even good baseball players break down, soccer players too. When I've played those, I'm like 5 ft. Or less part of the game when engaging the competition. Compactness, allows adjustment of forces and direction. :) squatting is best way to play most sports.

1. "Don't worry, he's a gamer." I got news for you, if he stinks up the practice field, he doesn't have a high ceiling even if he looks halfway decent on gameday. That's 50% effort and 50% lack of preparation.

2. "He looks like he was made in a lab, perfect football specimen." Tom Brady is the greatest QB who ever lived. Jerry Rice can't run a 4.5 to save his life. Jerome Bettis has more yards than 99% of the perfect specimens who ever stepped foot on the field. What a guy looks like in his underwear literally means nothing to the game of football.

3. The other day I heard a guy talking about a WR "Who had a knack for the ball." What other kind is there?

Knack for the ball for a WR might be my favorite. If only he was talking about a QB.

"He's a lunch pail guy."

In other words, he a tough white guy who can't outrun a golf cart.

Need a phrase for a guy who can run like a Ferrari but smokes so much dope he ruins his opportunity LOL

"Follows his lead blockers with great patience and vision" followed by "doesn't have the speed to get around the corner".... so he explodes through the hole for a yard or two, is that the analysis?? Reminds me of a good morning dump!!! Jeebus, that's a new one "he's the morning turd" :laugh:

He catches it at the highest point of the ball-

He does not...the ball is on a downward trajectory.
