All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Has anyone noticed that Centers consecutive catching a pass in every game string has been broken. In fact I think we only passed to him once.
And for 2 point some million, our TE Jay has to be a factor. Did he catch any balls last week? I don't think so, one at most.
Next week will be interesting.
Originally posted by The Natrix I've said it all along that JR and Centers should be cut.
I'm actually starting to reluctantly agree witha that. As much as a like both players, we have plenty enough of a receiving threat with our top 3 receivers to not need a top pass catching FB and TE... we need blockers more than we need catchers in those positions.
So much is said about DB and TE's... but the main reason DB was passing to Coates so much a few years ago was because he didn't have receiever like Moulds, Price, and Reed to throw to back in NE...
With two excellent blocklers in that position, they would help the passing game even more, offereing more pass protection, which means more time for DB to throw the ball and better run blocking, which means an even better running attack which opens up the passing game even more because teams will have to respect TH...
I think we need one or the other, not both. Centers can play more like an H back, then JR could go, or they could utilize JR more in a check down type of role, and let Centers go. They don't seem to know how to use both at once.
Like I say, the center of the Viking defense is MUCH weaker than the Jets. If they have plans for JR, we should see it this week. If he goes 1 catch for 11 yards again, he's history.
I say wait and see on JR. However, if Travis Henry continues to be effective as a receiver out of the backfield, Larry Centers is excess baggage considering that his effectiveness is pretty much limited to catching passes out of the backfield. Nothing will happen untill the end of the season though.
I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.
I don't think we particularly need Centers, but Riems is needed. Especially against cover 2 Defenses to exploit the middle...there are quite a few cover-2 defenses.
