Quote:I believe you, I've been looking for where to get that stat about interceptable passes. if you know where to look, I would be grateful and interested to see how the league stacks up.
The guys name is Cian Fahey, an arsehole from Ireland but he's the only guy I know who has tracked those stats.

He mentions the stats here and a few other places from the 2015 season.
Quote:Everybody in the NFL is a professional, it still doesn't change the fact that the colts defense was one of the worst in the league at stopping the run. They allowed like the 6th most rushing yards per game.
If you think Grant can make a difference because he ran for 100 yards against the colts, there's another reason why we don't need to spend a high draft pick on a RB. He was an UDFA and ran for 100 yards. Another example that you can find RBs all throughout the draft.
You can find serviceable to good runningbacks in later rounds but if you are looking for a 10 year bellcow back, those are usually early round picks in the last 15 or so years. The later rounds are full of guys like Alfred Morris
LT: #2 overall
Lynch: #12 Overall
Peterson: #7 oveall
Doug Martin: #31 overall
Zeke: #4 Overall
CJ2K: #24 Overall
Shaun Alexander: #19 Overall
Edgerin James: #4 Overall
There have been a good number of high pick running back busts but there has been a lot of success in the first round for these players too. For every Demarco Murray or Arian Foster, how many nobody's taken in the later rounds remain nobody. If you think a player is the kind of talent that is on that list, #4 isn't out of the question.
So.... from what I understand Blake is finished with the bulk of his work here.
Supposedly he's going to be throwing a few different times before ota's with a few of our wr.( heard that here on mb)
I heard he had a minor procedure on his shoulder immediately after the last game last year that supposedly relieved the discomfort he felt after repetitious throwing but I can't find any proof anywhere on that subject.
Also supposedly blake commented " I haven't felt this good throwing a football since my junior year in college"
And supposedly he worked extensively on leading a receiver.
The last is the most important to me.
Leading a receiver.
Supposedly he knows that next year there will be some bad throws while he builds game speed chemistry while doing this and is uncomfortable with it.
It is a risk.
U know..... throw the ball to where a receiver is SUPPOSED to be so that he can catch it in stride.
If all of this is true and he has a tighter more accurate arm.
We could be on fire next year.... I'm pumped.
P.s. I was talking to a guy who wore a 3dqb Polo Shirt 3 weeks in a row at a sports bar in Anaheim CA.
He hasn't been there for the last 2 weeks but a second guy who was occasionally a part of our convo's was there last week.and he seems to know quite a bit.
I'm trying to figure out exactly who these people are but it's hard to even get myself into the right position to say hi to them.
Mr 3dqb Polo is Mia but I think the remaining guys who were a part of his weekly party are still coming.
I'll try again next friday

-He throws it low and safe and it bounces off ARobs gut and is picked.

-He throws the back shoulder and again its off Arobs hands.It just means Bortles wasn't the cause for every pick.. But he still sucked last season too.
There is three right there. I accept apologies.
Video shows how bad Arob was that's it..
