Feeley = Deer in headlights

[enigmatics]

I like his arm.........no doubt about that. However, has anyone noticed the "deer in headlights" look he's got when dropping back for a pass? Alex Marvez of the Sun Sentinel said it best when he quoted Feeley as looking downright sloppy. I noticed in that Bengal game that he was dropping back anywhere between 5 and 7 steps and can somebody please tell me why we are doing this?

To me, from what I've seen thus far, the man has no pocket presence whatsoever. He's got happy feet back there and looks extremely riled. With the way the O-line is playing Feeley needs to keep his composure back there. Moreover, he also lacks any athleticism to buy him time and evade a heavy rush.

Reminds me of Rob Johnson everytime I look at him. Just hope he doesn't play like him LOL.... come on AJ 14 in a row!!!

The thing we must remember is that prior to this season, he had only played in 13 games since high school including college. With the O-line like this, its no wonder he looks frightned stiff, which is the reason to start the more mobile, gritty, experienced vet Fiedler, and let AJ learn from him, until the line is in better shape to protect.

I completely disagree that he looks like a deer in the headlights but, on the other hand I wouldn't blame him one bit if he did.

I don't remember how many stitches he got in his chin the other night but, I know it was over 10 and it happened when he got annihilated by Justin Smith.....Anybody that comes back in the game after that monster shot and then leads the team to tie the game at the end, has my respect and If you don't mind me saying it, he should have your respect too.

That look in his eyes is not bewilderment - it is fear. Have you seen our offensive line?

My only thing is that just because the O-line isn't playing well, it doesn't mean our QB should be running like a scared child.

Is fear a right of passage to sh*t in your pants instead of maintaining some composure? Bro, this guy isn't going to develop into a leader if he doesn't overcome that dookie reaction.

Can you blame the guy for having that "deer in the headlights" look. It`s obvious he`s been given a shot to lead this team, so I`m going to give him all the support I can. Bambi look, or not.

Was there anything in my comment about respect? Let's not divert the attention away from what I was talking about. But we obviously disagree on how we percieve him to be looking.

enig, you're going off the deep end here....If you want to talk about his play then you may have some reason to doubt him but, if you want to doubt his toughness, you're barking up the wrong tree.

 

[phinz8202]

not sure how he can have the "deer in the headlights" look when at the moment the ball is snapped it seems like there are 2 or 3 defenders up his butt.

 

[Dolphanaholic]

I dont think Dan Marino could have got the ball out of that pocket

I doubted his toughness? The word was "composure".........

On some plays yes.........all plays? No. Let's not exaggerate every single snap.

Any comment that starts out with "I don't think" isn't worth noting.
