Barrett was a free agent, Hubbard is like a 4th round pick, Trey Hendrickson I've never even heard of and McPhee is **** old. Two of them are on the Ravens. Could it be this list is a mixture of some great players, some great secondaries and some great schemes? Because there are a hell of a lot of great pass rushers nowhere on that list... Since I watched that Saints game, I know who Trey Hendrickson is. He's a defensive end who was jumping the snap count. I couldn't believe he wasn't getting called. He was getting off so early that the tackle would give up figuring a flag had to be coming. It was odd to see. That being said, no flags came out and he had a monster game. He's not fast, not overly strong. Looked very mediocre, just had that snap count timed perfectly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need some time, it's like those batting averages after the first week of MLB and a few guys are over .400 by now they are back where they belong at .225. I really would take all the worst personal stats though for a great defense year over year, who cares so long as you're winning games. So, if you are being fair to Alexander...he's given up catches and a TD. He's dropped INT's. Plural. I feel like he's had some bad luck. He's competed on most every ball out there. Couple guys made great plays and he dropped his INT chances. Here is a quick down and dirty explanation from PFF itself... I feel, strongly, that those Alexander numbers flip if he knocks down the Diggs TD and holds onto one of his INTS. Probably talking about a top guy here. It’s important to understand that PFF is not grading talent in these numbers, rather strictly performance on the field. Talented players can have bad games, runs, or even seasons, and often players without nearly as much talent can put together impressive play on the field. We are not necessarily telling you who the best players are. Our rankings are more of a performance evaluation, and a reflection of how efficiently a player made plays in the time he was on the field.

Cakeshoppe Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 We all need to recognize that Alexander made a bad play on the ball on that play but that wasn’t his guy in coverage. King got beat on that play, Alexander flew over from the other side to put himself in position to make a play that wasn’t his responsibility but failed to execute. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share Posted September 19, 2019 Ian Rapoport: Miami traded a 2nd rounder for Josh Rosen. Now he’s going to be their starter. Ryan Fitzpatrick heads to the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share Posted September 19, 2019 Ben Fennell: Most 3rd Down Sacks Allowed... GB/MIA - 5 HST - 4 6 teams have yet to allow a 3rd down sack - ARI, BAL, DET, JAX, MIN, SF <Yeah, yeah, yeah.....I know, we played against two top DL's. Let's hope this trend doesnt continue cause AR *will* get hurt> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not trolling here but apparently the sun was in Alexander's eyes when he went up to pick that ball... Would explain why a player with great ball skills would misjudge a ball in the air like that.

Leader Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share Posted September 19, 2019 The Colts just happened to try out six (6) kickers today. I think Mr. Vinatieri's "I'm not retiring" is more like two weeks notice and binding only until the team can find his replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diggs had no trouble looking back into the "sun" to see the ball. I'm not faulting Alexander by the way - he really did make an effort to thwart the play and support King over the top.

I'm not into helioseismoligy or anything but at the speed he was going, the angle and height he was tracking the ball at, it could be possible. Nonetheless, it was outstanding effort like you stated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diggs was looking over his right shoulder to make the catch, while Alexander was coming in hot from the right side and was looking over his left should, I believe. That would put the two players at different angles/aspects relative to the sun. That, and there may have been a brief sunbreak at the exact moment Alexander looked up, cuz wasn't it a cloudy day up there in the Bay of Green?

LOL - there should be a few nice sunny fall months up there in the Bay of Green before the tundra effect kicks in. As for the Dakotas, you guys might be screwed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
