FOR NON HATERS ONLY

pretty good analysis of the double reverse from Sunday vs. Dolphins

That's pretty much all I have to say, the rest is in the link but I have to try to get this to seventy five words. I really hope the loss of Evans doesn't hit the Saints too hard, he was really a godsend. i think we will be ok, but it's hard to imagine any replacement fullback being as good a weapon and pass catcher as Evans.

It's actually not a double reverse, right?

It's not

It’s just a reverse. I can’t remember the last time I saw a double reverse in the pros.

I know it’s “technically” only a reverse but everything (including the TV guys and even the NFL guys) call it a double reverse. So I say just call it a double reverse and can this silly “end around” mess.

As for it being a double reverse, it depends on who you ask I guess. I broke down the difference in my post on the other thread.

It is a double reverse

when one wr gets the ball and goes in one direction and then th other wr comes from the opposite side, I think that’s what a double reverse is. You couldn’t have one more handoff..at least that’s what I always thought.

I don't think

the lineman would have caught Reggie anyway. I would have rather seen a better effort out of our man on the goal line. Reggie would have walked in but it would not have been as dramatic as the hurdle into the endzone, Then Reggie would not have been on the cover of Sports Illustrated and nobody would be worried about he Curse. Funny how things escalated fro that one play. Now we are even worried about what color uniforms they wear…………Lots of people out here that are superstitious about change . It does not bother me…………..

agreed

it’s a 300 lb lineman. don’t think he’d get there. Brees just sorta stepped in the way and gave a lil nudge. Stichcomb was at the goal line and he did an awful job of blocking. IDC if we’re on SI or wearing pink pants, we’re winning this year!

It wasn't Stinchcomb at the goal line

Goodwin is the one that missed his block on the safety.

Thats correct !!!!!!!!!!!!

Could’a done a better job and all this other crap would be a non-issue. Reggie would never have made the cover of SI but maybe the positive attention will do him some good. I think his confidence was starting to fade

oh

i thought i heard or read that it was stinchcomb. my b. either way, horrible blocking and it makes me feel better that it wasn’t stinchcomb. We need a new center anyways I think.

The lineman

would not have caught Bush but would have forced him into a wider swing. As it happened, Bush was “flying” out of bounds and reached in with the ball. He probably had the touchdown by 3~4 inches? A wider arc on his run would have put him out of bounds at the 2 yard line.

Excellent point.

Wow, just think

how cool would it be to have another photo like that but with #9 on the jersey! I think defensive linemen across the league would start packing their bags! Ha!
