The Random Thought Thread

Peterson has got to be without a doubt the greatest back of this generation. Peterson has an actual argument for greatest of all time, Charles doesn’t.

also I’m heavily weighing receiving ability, where these guys beat ray in rushing totals, ray all but 1 year(2012) was top 3 in yards from scrimmage and in rays 1 year where he wasn’t, we finally had a passing game going so he wasn’t relied on as much. Those guys had huge disparities in rushing-receiving ratio compared to ray rice, but there was little disparity in scrimmage yards from ray to the others.

Peterson is one of the best backs of all time, let alone one of the best of this generation.

I’ve said for a very long time that AD should get real consideration for the GOAT title, and I don’t mean like “he’s one of the goats” I mean like THE goat.

The Ravens make me blush with pride. Bisciotti is a true class act.

I think you said he was top 3 and that's where the disagreement came in.

Greg Roman needs to study Andy Reid. I’m watching the 2018 game vs the chiefs, and first thing I wanna say is holy hell we as a defense gotta find a way to counter screens because they are SO sketchy, idk why we don’t face a lot more screens because they’re a big play waiting to happen against us. But most importantly, Andy Reid is so brilliant with screens, and when you have stars in the receiving game it really allows screens to take off, he uses kelce and hill and misdirection as a decoy to clear out screens, with the amount of misdirection we use and the talent we have, we seriously need to learn how to run screens better, it’s pretty inexcusable that we aren’t one of the better screen teams in the league. Devin duvernay is an ideal screen weapon across from Hollywood and andrews, you can isolate him and let him make his man miss and then it’s a footrace.

Oh man That's Duvernays strongest point. I think he's the best Screen WR in the draft.

Jeudy is up there because of his ability to juke dudes out of their shoes, I’d have them 1a and 1b, but duvernay is a guy that should seriously draw our coaches attention and they need to design plays for him, he is such a playmaker on screens it would be a crime to not seriously ramp up our screen game because of his presence alone

John Ross is a guy I wouldn’t mind kicking the tires on if he fizzles for another season and ends up a FA bargain. I could see him being effective here on simplicity alone, all we would ask him to do is run deep. 2 legitimate low 4.2 guys and a 4.39 slot guy and you’re talking about shit your pants levels of fear from defenses we face lol

John Ross or corey davis? corey is no slouch and a better football player. I'd see if davis would be available

i like corey davis, but i have this burning desire to see every player on this offense running at sub 4.3 speed lol

more about price points - corey davis likely gets overpaid in free agency, john ross likely gets forgotten about in free agency

Queen is a great disruptor of screens on film but itll be harder to sniff them out vs an Andy Reid offense.

Ice always wanted us to use screens more often, I think the last time we were actually good at them was with Rice. Duvernay should def be good in that department tho. Were gonna have to find ways to get the ball in his hands

we actually werent that good on screens with ray rice either, joe flacco frankly was awful at delivering them, it seemed like he always rushed them and threw them early before it sets up, and panicked and off the mark, with ray rice it was more like dump offs when joe went 1-dump or 1-2-dump because he rushed his progressions and didnt like being in the pocket too long.
