Tired of talking about 2013 and before.....

I'm not saying it's going to happen everytime!! Pay attention!! With the additions of two possible studs in this type of offense, we're going to see a ton of mismatches. Some with CJ and mostly with Tate and Ebron. Teams will be forced "at times" to roll coverage off Calvin because Tate and Ebron will be crushing it. When that happens, Calvin will have more single coverage.

Do you fn understand now for fk sakes?!

You don't take a guy off the best wideout in the game to put more coverage on Tate or Ebron because "they're crushing it".
 
Exactly my point Mitch. Apparently it's stupid to think or compare him to Jimmy Graham. But then d - coordinators are going to cover him like Jimmy Graham. I think Mayhew broke these guys brains this year with this pick. They all hated it and now have gone into ?ber fan mode to defend it. Which is fine but at least be somewhat logical.

Is that what you're getting out of this coversation? Where did i ever say that Ebron should be covered like Jimmy Graham? I'm saying he should pull coverage off guy lke Tate and Calvin....lol.

Are you this dumb for real or is it an act?

The only TE pulling coverage off Calvin is Jimmy Graham, maybe a 100% healthy and non porn star relationship Gronk.
 
So CJ is "crushing it" but Tate and Ebron are to let's move coverage off CJ to a rook. Brilliant.

You're right, bro!! Ebron is the next Pettigrew. He brings nothing to this offense, 5 yd curls and falls down. Idiots!

I said he's the next Jimmy Graham... you said he's rocking the Grewesque 3 for 40.

I used one game as an example!! Ebron can run, he's not Pettigrew, a LB on Ebron should be a mismatch. Meaning more Safety help on Ebron, more Safety help on Ebron means LESS Safety help over the top on Calvin. That's why he was drafted, to help out guys like CJ and Tate.....and vice versa. Can't cover them all but if Tate and Ebron are killing it out there and they're double/triple teaming Calvin and we're scoring at will, do you think they'll stick with the same defense because they don't want Calvin to go off? No, they'll change it, meaning more players on Tate and/or Ebron. This is where comprehension skills come into play. I'm not saying teams will pull coverage off CJ because it will rarely happen, but in some circumstances that's going to happen. Sure is the plan IMO
 
You say move coverage off CJ if those two are "crushing it". But CJ is also "crushing it"..because he's CJ. But you think teams will take coverage off him..:hmm:

CJ will always go off...regardless, but if Tate and Ebron are going off too, defenses will HAVE TO roll to that side more. It's not rocket science...it's football. They won't let 2 guys kill a defense because CJ is on the other side. They have to try and stop the other 2 guys or more. HENCE, CJ getting better looks.
 
That's the point if everyone is going off why rotate coverage off the best of the three?

Now you got it Tony. Ebron will face single coverage more than any top ten drafted receiving option in history. If things go to plan he should be a rookie of the year candidate. If not, he's not opening up anything for anybody, because he'll have to be 'crushing it' before anything changes in the way teams play us. Also...also...if things work out that way and he does earn that respect, CJ, Tate, Bush, Bell, Stafford, should all have monster years. That means....drumroll. More yards and TDs. You homers facade is cracking when you understand the rationale but then predict the pedestrian. You should be telling me Jimmy Graham and 5000 and 40 not the other way around.

Stafford can take advantage. Burleson, pettigrew and Durham couldn't. They can't separate from one defender
