I was trying to be nice, but you won't freaking drop it so I'm not going to be nice anymore.John63":gss6p1lr said:Tical21":gss6p1lr said:Factually incorrect that Russell Wilson struggles reading zone defenses.John63":gss6p1lr said:Tical21":gss6p1lr said:He doesn't struggle against zone defenses, but he struggles reading them. Often that leads to him holding the ball rather than take a risk throwing the ball into something he doesn't trust. The lack of interceptions are a double-edged sword. Against zone, he typically does one of three things repeatedly. Watch the tape for yourself. I beg you. It's silly to continue to have this discussion in this format if you refuse to watch the tape.
Look, I hope as much as anyone that he has mastered the short passing game, I'll gladly pass often. I have thoughts as to why he was so successful this week, why it was predictable and not likely repeatable, but this is a week to just marvel at an outstanding performance.
LOL he does not struggle against zone defenses, but he struggles reading them. LOL that funny. Its also factually incorrect. As to the rest he spent almost all of 2015 doing the short passing game, so he can master
Whats silly is your need to continually say things that are factually false. The only thing you said that is right is we should enjoy this outstanding performance.oh an fFYI I have watched tape and nothing you say is as simple as you say, there are always variables that you fail to mention like, play call, oline, down and distance, etc. So once again factually speaking everything you say is wrong except enjoying the performance. But that for the laughs
"He doesn't struggle against zone defenses, but he struggles reading them." That is funny
I don't know what you want me to say man. If you can't see it, I guess all the better for you. I dunno.
The 2015 season was an anomaly because we were a passing team playing against defenses that were gearing up to stop our running game. Of the 6 games I charted, we saw 60% man defense. We tried to replicate this success in 2016, but saw defenses switch to almost 60% zone, and unfortunately our success with the short passing game fell off a cliff. It wasn't until we got back to running the football and putting teams back into man defense and predictable coverages that we started to have success again. So, we way be able to play halves or games where we feature the short passing game prominently, but if we adopt that as our style, it will change the way that defenses play us, and that could greatly hamper our effectiveness and the efficiency of Russell Wilson. There's also a possibility that he is just that much better of a quarterback due to getting more experience and playing under Schotty, and it won't matter what defenses do, but I'd probably bet against it.
Leading up to the game, Seahawk2k was doing Steelers prep and concluded that their greatest vulnerability was a quick passing game, because of reasons I've mentioned in this and other threads. I thought that would make DK the benefactor, rather than Lockett, because Lockett hasn't shown much ability to get early separation. But it was a great adjustment and even better execution. Whether or not the success validates the opinion of everyone who believes the key to our success is opening up the offense and deploying a quick passing attack on a routine basis is a bit of a stretch though IMO.
Yes factually incorrect find a fact that show sthat. Le tme help you those facts would include a poor completion %, a poor Qb rating, A poor td/int ratio that problem is non exist, because it is not true. You keep saying 2015 was an anomally, and yet he just did it again last game and if you look at other game ssicne then he has done it other times to, when they use that game plan. You keep trying to blame Wilson for not using it more when it is not him calling the plays, or game plan. He may have input but in the end it is up to PC and has said he does not like dinking and dunking. So once again show facts to support your stance, because so far all you have done is state you opinion which is obvious to all is not a fact.
Let me help you this is a fact
So well I guess like I said your wrong as he did it just last year too. So if he struggles reading, it so much, which again you have no factual proof of how is it he also had the highest b rating against the zone, oh yeah because he does not struggle against the zone.
So you can have your opinion but knwo the facts clearly show your wrong.
If a quarterback were having trouble reading defenses, I might want to, I dunno, see how long he holds onto the ball? How many sacks they take? How often the quarterback is able to hit his back foot and let the ball go? How often they look at a defense for 15 seconds trying to figure out what is going on? How quickly they bail out of the pocket? How early they hit their dumpoffs? How often they throw 50/50 balls down the sideline? How excited they get when they see man-1 or cover-0.
When did I ever blame Wilson for the game plan? Ever once? You can look up my posting history, correct? Pete doesn't like the quick game because he is trying to maximize Russell's skillset and minimize the times he has to read and quickly execute against zones. Period.
Name me one game between 2015 and Sunday where the quick game looked effective. One. One. One. Go ahead. We tried it for two years. Did it EVER work, even ONCE???
