Winnipeg @ Edmonton Pre-game

[Pigskin]

Never denied anything.  You presented lies and fake news about me.  Taken out of context.  My position remains that Peterson will not spell Brady until he declines (which is the discussion in which I posted the above).  I presented situations today, recently and weeks again when and if I would spell or replace him. 

It's time for us to move on.  We don't agree, never will, doesn't matter.  That's ok but please stop saying things about me or what I post that is non factual.  A unfortunate reoccurring behavior.

Okay, it's enough. Both of you stop now.

The reason we were cooking in the first half is we essentially flipped the script by doing, pretty successfully, what we aren't very good at: deep shots down the field into one on one coverage because the defense wasn't scheming that.

Is it sustainable or even repeatable? Not sure. Probably not.

It will help as long as Zach is in because now D's have to scheme more honestly.  They can't just play the run and short/mid game anymore.  This opens the run/short/mid up for us.  This is more important that some might think.

But it may help you cost out whether Brady is worth the gold bricks we pay him if one of our best offensive outputs of the year was basically deploying him as decoy.

If they fully respect him every run fake, then yes it may be worth it, even if he only ever gets 3 per actual run.  Why?  Because it freezes the LBs for an extra second -- in most cases 2 or 3 of the 3 -- as well as influence the FS and sometimes a DB or 2.  To maintain that though you need Brady to bust some, or get closer to a 6-7 avg -- especially on the off time the D decides to not honor the run fake.  If they start to ease up on honoring Brady, and Brady can't make them pay, then teams will start ignoring him, and THEN he becomes an overpriced piece.

But for now, the good thing about Brady is teams do believe his press clippings.  They do believe the hype.
