Official: Feeley sucks.

[FIN-IN-RI]

Well you said it so it must be true, right? Faka

Calling someone a blind homer is not namecalling?

I said it once, yesterday, when I was getting slewn insults and sarcastic remarks from every direction. I didn't use any name calling in my previous post. Again, get off it.

Wow with your vast knowledge of football you tell everyone you have rather than actually displaying said knowledge, I would have thought you would have known about delayed blitzes, hmmm, guess not. Cause it was clear when the showed teh play in slow mo, you can see that Urlacher did not come right away and he made no move to line in teh presnap read. But hey AJ should have been telepatically aware right?

You think I don't know about delayed blitzes? Are you alright?

It wasn't clear to me that it was delayed, I don't remember it that way... but I don't recall exactly - the game was three nights ago. Even if it was delayed Feeley still had time to get rid of the ball. Roll to his lefft a bit maybe? Or not... :confused: He had the time man. Urlacher doesn't make that play against a good QB, he doesn't get there in time.. Urlacher didn't come through like a bullet train.

I'm not getting into this with you, its pointless. Wether it's homerism or not your unheralded supprt for Feeley is mind-boggling, but understandable I guess.



Less than 3 seconds? From the time the ball was snapped? I doubt it but if it's true then I bet he had a dumpoff in the flat to throw to, yes, even within 3 seconds he could have felt the rush and completed that pass. I don't even know what play your talking about but if your talking about the Urlacher sack there was a TE who had 3 steps on his defender right in the middle of the field, on a slant- AJ had the time to throw that ball to him.



Horrendous errors? YEA RIGHT! You must have seen the calm and compsed, fluid, always scanning the field, AJ Feeley on Monday night. Damn, I wish I had those glasses on.




Biased in favor of what or who?



Sue me.



Means nothing - Saban's own words.



5 seconds to go through your progressions, 3 seconds is enough time to hit your dump-off.




I know because the facts you are giving me are soooo relevent. Your pointing out one ndividual instance/play.. I'm talking about the whole package.




RB/TE/WR...FB maybe



I'm looking for everything AJ does poorly? errrrrrrrrnnnnt.. try again. That would mean that I dislike AJ Feeley just because he is AJ Feeley, let me remind you that I supported Feeley's improvement from day 1. So who am I biased against and in favor of what and why? I'm not biased so give it a rest.

**I'm completely missing the namecalling here.. :hmmm:

Ok I will cut the sarcasm.

From the numerous replays it was a delayed blitz. The sarcasm was in response to you saying AJ should have seen the blitz coming. How, it wasnt shown. As far as having time, yes, some, but he also believed by stepping up he had more time. It was better than him forcing teh throw.

Implied namecalling is the same as actually coming out and saying it.

saban was under the mistaken impression that it was a delayed blitz, but he doesn't know football...

I don't care if you're sarcastic with me, really, It's all good -I can take a ribbing.. I wasn't talking about you anyway. I was talking about how it was yesterday.

Well I forgot. And I didn't hear/read Saban's comments.

Either way he had the time to read and react.

"Understandable.." Meaning I can understand why because I've been there (in your/dPhins shoes) before with certain players.

Exactly!

Saban even referred to Urlacher blitzing late. Saban clearly had no problem with Feeley's reactions on that play...why should we?

 

[DPlus47]

okay. look at a tape, man. if you think anybody had time to read or react to that, you're playing too much madden.

I don't have to look at a tape. He had time to read and react. If you don't think so then you're seriously underestimating the play of a good QB.

okay. i bow down to you, oh god among men!

nah man.. c'mon take it easy.

I did look at the tape (actually the mpeg) Feeley had about 3 - 3.5 seconds from the moment the ball was snapped till Urlacher hit him. Urlacher was lined up in his normal MLB position and did not crowd the line to show blitz. At the snap he didnt really have an explosion off the ball...it almost looked like he was just running to the line to take on a blocker. Then he accelerated and got the big hit.

At the snap Feeley did a quick non-convincing play action gesture, then looked straight at Heath Evans who had faked a blocking assignment at the line then crossed the field laterally to the right. Feeley continued to stare at Evans until a fraction of a second before Urlacher hit him.

In my opinion, the problem with the play was the same thing that usually gets Feeley into trouble....locking on to his receivers.


Edit: You know what, that faked blocking assignment of Heath Evans....it was on Brian Urlacher. Had Evans made the block Urlacher would not have been able to get to Feeley. I dont think this was a planned blitz, delayed or otherwise, I think Urlacher just found himself with nobody between himself and the QB. And, by that line of reasoning, the coaches that called the play had to know that with Evans being the receiver on the play that Urlacher might go unblocked. Maybe they expected him to drop into coverage...maybe somebody else was supposed to pick him up. Either way, the possibility of Urlacher coming free should have been something Feeley was aware of.

Then again, what do I know? :)
