KingOfNewYork Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 That rule change will have a huge impact on either a week 16 or 17 game or worse a playoff game or the Super Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patriotsheatyan Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Thank you for going for two Chicago. Preseason games should not go to overtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugashane Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 TBH, seeing Flacco look like he was ready to throw on the sideline made me wish he'd hit Bray with the ball. Right in the middle of his cadence, just beam him. No ill will toward Bray, but I like comedy more than I like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on the sideline, but didn't trip, miss the bench, choke on Gatorade, etc. We're proud of you KW. Are you sure he made it back home safely yet?

Kiwibrown Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Lamar's play speed 2as excellent when compared to rg3. You can see how much injuries have taken their toll on his physical abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is, what is he teaching? I'm not going to pretend to be an expert on RG3, and most of what I know is media drivel of course, but the mental aspect of the game was never portrayed in a favorable light with RG3.

Jackson is a freak athlete, that cannot be taught. He is going to need to learn the NFL game though, keep hammering his mechanics, etc. I don't think RG3 is going to be a massive help with that.

Here's a little quote on what RGIII's been trying to relay to Jackson, and I think it kind of speaks volumes about what RGIII is teaching him. Quote RGIII on Lamar running: "[Lamar’s] natural instinct when he’s running is that nobody is going to tackle him, no one can tackle him. There’s some guys in this league that can tackle him, and he’ll figure that out." Basically, "I came into the league thinking this, but then I learned you can't do that". Basically I just want RGIII to teach Lamar what not to do. RGIII seems pretty self-aware. He's well aware of what killed his career and why that happened, so if he can help Lamar not go down that path (learn to slide and not take big hits, specifically), I think that's all we need right now. Other than that, by having RGIII around now, we're setting ourselves up for next year when Lamar is the starter and RGIII is the backup. RGIII isn't gonna be the guy to teach Lamar about progressions and the intellectual side of quarterbacking - and quite frankly neither will Joe Flacco - but if he can teach Lamar what NOT to do to preserve your body, that's a huge benefit to him.

Makes a lot of sense actually. Guys without Jackson's natural ability can't see things the way he does especially in the open field. Sure Peyton Manning, for example, could say slide or take a sack but when Jackson is scrambling to the edge and there's a Safety coming at him he might feel like he has the angle or could juke him out and get some extra yards. Not many QBs see that game that way because they're either getting out of bounds or sliding there. Jackson's intuition will probably say go for it, RG3 could tell him otherwise. It's different coming from Flacco than RG3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it's worth, the NHL did the same thing this season with their new slashing rules. It was called a ridiculous amount of times in the preseason, and got the same reaction that's happening in this thread. It was severely toned down for regular season and no one really talked about it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
