Damn defender would not do us the favor of fumbling the ball so we could recover with a first down out of the deal...
And that ladies and gentlemen is how a WR can indeed help a QB and playcalling to stretch the field regardless of coverage.
Eric Smith shows why many dislike him in coverage. He's the weakest link in that secondary by far and he cost them 7 right there IMO. They play him in a lot of Man-Free, which I still don't know why, and teams continue to attack him. He is reminiscent of Husain Abdullah of the Vikings, when Abdullah is the single high. They are both late over to the receiving threat.
Eh perhaps, there is still the plan B Ravens and Steelers WC chance. Charger losing to the Raiders was nice, but now we need the Bolts to get to 10 wins.
The Patriots are attacking the Jets the right way IMO. Horizontal routes, comeback routes, quick inside routes, and vertically when the opportunity presents itself IMO. You don't want to attack them too much vertically, because Cromartie and Revis play the deep ball well, but Cromartie should be attacked horizontally/laterally IMO. He is not quick out of his breaks nor is he a good tackler. If you can run a post route in Eric Smith's direction, IMO, you take the chance. Anytime you can get him in man coverage, you take the shot. The same goes for the Jets and Patrick Chung of NE. You attack him, he does not play the ball well in the air.
yeah BB, "if" the Steelers or Ravens finish 10-6 and we finish 10-6 we need one other AFC team to finish 10-6 and not win their division, a three way tie situation is still our best shot albeit a very long one.
The Patriots are running tons of posts and corners. That looked like a corner route playside with backside post. 3 overload?
More than likely Alen, but until that is reality, it remains a possibility and that means there is no reason to run up the white flag just yet.
