Even some of the players last year commented on the lack of 1v1, of course I think they liked the change.Quote:

Disagree. I'm not trying hard at all. That's actually what the answer is.Quote:

Shoop: We had the No. 1 defense against the 2 offense and the No. 2 defense against the No. 1 offense. As you would expect, I thought the 1 offense moved the ball pretty well against the 2s and the 1 defense did a pretty good job against the 2 offense.
Sure its not that he was inaccurate or that we dropped passes its his revolutions per minute on the ball (there is no case ever that a ball as been in the air for an entire minute) werent very goodQuote:

tl;dr - poor rotation rate = looser and inconsistent spiral = erratic trajectory and harder to catch, which gets worse the higher the velocity.

hmmm- seems like someone is wrong. Wonder if its the coach or the message board posters?Quote:

Reading comprehension is not a strong point for some. It was pretty clear to most of us what you posted.Quote:

...... but for the record, I do remember last preseason how everyone was praising Fitz's newfoud touch and accuracy, and how he was at like 70% comp % in camp... I also remember a lot of people questioning Shoop based on the simple D we ran in scrimmages. I also remember a lot praise for Austin Williams, and how Mullen was an idiot to redshirt him. Og yeah, and we were finally going to use the TE's... I also don't remember hearing about the OT's being a liability at pass pro, Fitz being incapable of making a pre-snap read in this O, or just how good Abram would be.
Camp can't teach you ANYTHING. Learn from last year people. I know we're like heroin addicts looking for one shot of football, but camp rumors are like a dirty needle found on the ground- it might be a quick fix but it's not worth the risk to your health. Think of last year's season for that matter; NONE of us knew the O had flaws till game 4 of the season. If we didn't see that abomination of an O coming through over 200 real game snaps, how much can we learn fro ma few dozen snaps in a scrimmage? Camp scouting reports are useless.
All that said, I'll still read through every one if these threads lol

If Fitz were 6'1" 210, he wouldn't have near as strong of an arm. Dak is even a somewhat of a strength based thrower. Guys like Pat Maholmes, Kyler Murray, Brady, Favre, Brees, etc have fast arms. Arm speed. Doesn't matter how big they are because the velocity doesn't come from their strength.
100% every wordQuote:

Pickering isn't ready to play but he's going to have to. Our dt situation has me bad afraid. We are going to have to blitz like crazy and that's how big plays occur. I know I know, I'm about to get jumped they we aren't falling off that much yada yada yada.... at dt we aren't falling off much, of a small cliff doesn't count
