Clyde Christensen his epic Gunslinger definition (Matt Moore)

[FSU Truth]

http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/nfl/miami-dolphins/article122252494.html

“By gunslinger, it's a complimentary phrase, and to me, he doesn't have a fear. For a lot of guys who haven't played in four years, five years would come in there tentative and start taking check-downs. Would come into the second half of the last home game and take check-downs and be conservative and not want something bad to happen.

“When I use the term gunslinger, it's a guy who just comes in and goes. Just goes. It's not that he takes stupid chances. It's not a derogatory. He walks down the Main Street of the Western and he doesn't have any fear. He walks down the Main Street, the guy shows up and they have at it. That's the mentality I think of with gunslinger. Not that you're careless. It's not a negative term to me. It's a positive. There's a bunch of quarterbacks in this league that come into those situations that he's come into scared. Not necessarily scared, but scared to make a mistake. And checking the ball down, being overly conservative, not wanting to get hit. They don't throw that ball up to Kenny Stills in that last home game, take the shot with the guy bearing down on him. That Cover 0 post that he threw that was huge in the Jet game. They don't do that. They want to start slow. If I gave any indication that the term gunslinger was careless or a derogatory ... That definition of gunslinger would be unemployed. That kind of gunslinger would be dead because he got shot. Those guys are all extinct and three feet under now."

I looked and didn't see if this posted and felt it was worth mentioning.

Bills will be stacking the box to stop Jay from embarrassing them again. Their goal is to keep Jay under 100 yards....it will help the L they are about to get served feel better when they look in the mirror.

Moore will have to again, go over the top. I don't trust DVP at all, not sure what's going on with him, so it's Stills over the top or Landry across the middle, or Sims hitting the seams that will win this game. Jay will not get 200 again, he may not even see 80 yards this game.

thing with jay is even if its only 70 yards, they will be the hardest earned 75 yards in the league this season, and if the bills don't rally hats to the ball on defense he is one slipped tackle away from going the distance.

Between their desire not to let Ajayi get rolling and payback on Landry, hell everyone else could have great days.

It's really the ideal mindstate of a backup quarterback.

Here's what Christensen was saying about Cover 0. "Cover", in short, refers to the amount of defenders with deep responsibility.

We're in a Shotgun Trips Weak, NY a 3-3-5. The Jet's are going to blitz everyone that isn't needed as a pass defender, which is 8 here, leaving the 2 CBs and FS man to man, hence Cover 0. We only have a 7 man protection so the QB knows there will be a free blitzer. The idea behind pass protection is to sift from the inside-out. A free man up the middle is more dangerous than one off the edge. That's when there is an overload blitz - from an offensive perspective - he'll ideally come from the outside and the QB has to get rid of the ball quickly.

Stills and Parker run a scissors route combo of Post and an Out&Up respectively. The CB tries to wall off Stills but as soon as he turns his hips to the outside, Stills breaks into the top of his route and beats him to the inside.

Moore plays like he's playing with house money. And that's a perfect way for the Dolphins to play right now too.

Looked like Parker beat his guy deep too.

Looked like Parker beat his guy deep too.

Stills move happened before Parker's. It was actually one hell of a play looking back at it. Moore got leveled just as he got the ball out and threw the most perfect pass for the situation as he lead Kenny back inside and in stride tailing away from Revis.

Impressive throw. 50 yards in the air with spot on touch.

Well said by Clyde. I think the biggest difference between Ryan and Matt is that Ryan is turning into a more cerebral QB (which I like) and Matt seems to be reacting out there to what the defense is giving him

Tannehill is more of your traditional boxer: Beat you by points and not making errors. Moore is more of a slugger: He's going take some punches and give a few too. His goal is to land two or three big shots that either knock you out or force you out of your game plan.

Two different styles neither is right or wrong, both can get you wins and both can get you beat. However, I can see where some fans would rather lose with an aggressive style than lose playing it close to vest. The good thing is I think Tannehill is adding a little of Moore's and Gase's aggressive style to his game and I think Moore has added a little of Tannehill's and Philbin's safer style to his game too. I think Moore and Tannehill adding a little of each other's style to their own has made both better players in the long run. You've definitely seen more aggression from Tannehill this season. From what I hear about Moore, part of the reason Philbin didn't play him even when Tannehill was struggling or he didn't like the way Tannehill was playing was that Moore was going to be aggressive with his attack even if the coaches were telling him to play it close to the vest. They felt at least they knew Tannehill would try to do what they told him to do, while Moore was more likely try to do things his way.

I think Tanny is going to benefit from watching Moore a few games. He is going to develop more trust in his receivers making plays downfield and will take those shots more often.

Anyone else notice how our least screen favorite play wasnt used much against he Jets?

Look at where everyone is when he lets it go too. Great anticipation.
