[quote=hooskins;845877]From my understanding, the 49ers use 'Los in more zone coverages than he was used in here. Don't want to make any conclusions, but perhaps that has helped him with the INTs.

Can't rule out good fortune, low sample size and playing better either.[/quote]

I don't know I always thought he was good Man-to-Man but sucked in Zone coverage which is where he would get beat every other play. Hall is more of a Zone coverage player but sucks Man-to-Man.

Re: Around the NFL Week 5
 

Sure, he is a better man corner, but perhaps being in zone more reduces variables for Los so he can focus more on the ball when it comes his way?

[quote=Ruhskins;845875]I wouldn't necessarily call Kolb a stud though, but other than that you're right on the money. Not to mention that Reid has been right down Vinny-esque with his offseason moves.[/quote]

Wouldnt call Schaub a stud either...I am using that word out of context. How about this, they are both QBs that the Falcons and Eagles are/were going to miss and perhaps cause/caused the fanbase to second guess front office moves.

And since I live in CO I feel the need say something about Tebow. The fans here are like rabid minks wanting Tebow to start. Orton is the butt of all the jokes, and if Jesus Christ himself were to walk on and go under center, he would be booed. Tebow has big play ability but lacks fundamentals. Remind you of anyone? *cough*Tony Romo*cough*. I forsee the Broncos winning some good games on some insane plays. The thing to watch, however, will be whether or not he revels in it and accepts his role, or commits to the film room and being a better QB.

Maybe the Falcons shoulda drafted defense instead spending all their picks on Julio Jones

You'd think that'd be the logic after getting blown out by GB in the playoffs and giving up 48 points, but their line of thinking went

"If only we had another wideout, that way we could score more points against elite teams."

instead of:

"Boy we just gave up 48 points in the playoffs, maybe we should invest in defense."

I'm going to "third" this. I don't know wtf he was thinking. A just punishment would be to lock him in a room with Steve Smith for 20 minutes. Dude obliterates teammates, can only imagine what he'd do with Harper's punk ass.

Romo actually has very sound mechanics. As physical specimen, he is one of the top dogs. But mentally, the dude just can't get it together. Oh, and Romo loves throwing picks to the right side. Chris Horton knows.

If anything, Tebow compares better with Michael Vick.

Yep,especially with the Texans already having lost Andre johnson for a while.Their recieving corp behind him is really weak and if they dont get their running game going again their in big trouble.Oakland was giving up all kinds of yards on the ground but they stuffed Houston.Same could go for Philly this week,we should be able to gouge them thru the run but Grossman doesnt scare anybody so I see them stuffing the box and forcing grossman to beat them

he was better in man when shutting down receivers but when he had a chance to come to the ball rather than have the ball come to him were the times that he got his few picks if I recall correctly

you'd also have to look at things like the safety play and whatnot to see if he's being put in a position to make less mistakes or reduce the cost of them

Merril Hodge just said on SC that the skins will win the EAST because they have the best defense and run game in the division

Williams has the 4th most sacks since being drafted, but somehow it still doesn't feel like he's lived up to expectations.

Anyone else feel this way?

A late hit out of bounds is one thing, that hit right there should not only draw a fine, but a suspension (1-2 game) as well. There really is no place for that sort of crap in football.

I don't like rogers either, but I wonder if it's the secondary/db coach in San Fran that is making the difference with rogers.

He's been consistent in fantasy. Not elite, but a good 10-15 points every week. Even him sitting on the bench means someone else not benefitting. :D

The guy deserves a fine but I wouldnt be surprised to see a small fine on smith also,he shouldnt have gotten in the middle and grabbed his facemask and held onto it

Cris Carter just told CJ "I came to Detroit to tell you that you're one of the best wide receivers in the NFL." Too late!

Woohoo for sound problems on mnf's broadcast so far.

Anybody else watch Barry Sanders' MNF intro there? Loved it. Keep it host team specific, fresh every week instead of the same song over and over again.
