I also remember the commentators bitching about Ben "gaming" the QB rating because he'd take sacks instead of throwing it away.
Worth noting that this isn't just true in sports...sadly.
Here's some more info from PFF re: run/pass splits in 2005 and 2006. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/pit/2005_splits.htm...
Why do you think he went with the PR non-denial denial instead of just completely denying the reports? Why do you think Kenny would say if...
Amen to this! I'm sure that people will soften on Tomlin in the future just like they did with Cowher. Just the "Groundhog Day" type seasons got...
That's really cool! I would not have guessed that. Again...maybe just my stupid human memory. Do you have links that show the data? I'd be...
My guess is that this is true when you look at this rate / efficiency wise. But if you look at raw stats (important to look at both), I bet he...
I still love LeBeau. Just seems like such a solid person. Great (somewhat) recent interviews: Terrible Podcast [MEDIA] All Things Covered...
Agreed. It's sad, but the economics of the league really tarnished the beauty of LeBeau's defense. That and new rules. And Tom ****ing Brady...
This. Ben was a notorious slow starter for his entire career (notable exception was the playoff game in Denver early in his career). At the end,...
I didn't like his 3rd contract when it happened. But his 4th contract I did like because we forced a paycut on him. I thought it was bush-league...
On the Terrible Podcast today, Dave said that this (1) includes a ~ $2MM raise for Cam this year and (2) probably next year is set up as a roster...
I think it's crazy that it's only been 6 seasons since he left the Steelers. Feels like forever ago.
Makes sense for him to milk it IMO. OL are always a hot commodity in UFA because every team needs at least depth.
Hopefully fewer than we've seen in the last two seasons (Smith and Patterson)
Maybe. Hendrickson is 31, so it's still going to be an over payment to try to win now. But they aren't selling their future to the same degree...
Last year Gainwell got 114 carries. But since our D couldn't get off the field, we were 28th with 58.0 plays per game....
Gainwell got 2x $14MM ($7MM / year). Reportedly $10MM guarantees. Dowdle got 2x years $12.25MM ($6.125MM / year). Guaranteed money not yet...
You'd still want a RB2. But I think both of these guys can be a lead back in the current NFL sense of the word. Once you get outside of the top 5...
I wouldn't want him to do it for the entire season. But I think he could do it for stretches. He did have 211 carries last year. Not as much as...
