To move up the draft order? At this point I'd pay to watch Zach suit up, it would serve him right take a snap behind that line. Yeah, Yeah, I know they've gotten better.

Actually something very interesting that relates to exactly that has come about because of the current Broncos situation of having ALL FOUR QBs on their roster+PS being out with Covid. The Broncos wanted to start one of their assistant coaches, who ran the offense when the QBs were out. The league refused. Reason being - this way a team could "stash" potential players on the coaching staff without having any of the player rules applying to them.

Yeah they definitely can't allow it for this reason - but was it an actual, explicit rule? The article I read didn't make that claim but it could be - the article implied that it was a snap decision the league made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes of course and although the article didn't say it I can't imagine anything other than what the Broncos asked was that they could fast-track him into a player contract.

PatternMaster Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 The the offensive play calling is suspect, what was that jet sweep. This is not looking good for the Bengals D either, a lot 3rd down conversions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While this would be an acceptable reason, that article I keep mentioning was actually primarily about the fact that the league refused to postpone the game. The article claimed it was because the league was *cracking down* on failures in protocol - apparently Denver's going to be fined and lose a draft pick over it as well (i.e. the other QBs didn't wear masks around Driskel, who is the actual infected/positive QB). But what I understand about the Ravens was both that they ALSO got their spike from a failure in protocol (from a coach) and that they were fined - I haven't heard anything about losing draft picks. Also the Ravens' situation "evolved" over time, and the league didn't hesitate at all to postpone that game - and frankly this Denver game is the first game I've seen that the league didn't postpone when a team was hit by Covid in a way that could affect the core game plan. Oh, and they've not surprisingly postponed the Ravens/Cowboys game that was supposed to go on Thursday... to Monday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Tigre Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 Kendall Hinton (a WR by trade) is 1-9 13 yds 2 INTS Looks like they are now going to a near wing T offense. It is sort of moving the ball though...slowly. NO ahead 24-3. Taysom Hill has 42 yds passing and an INT The NFL is a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to this no-pass/wing T stuff has caught NO off guard. They won’t win, but the radical changes on the fly is rather noteworthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Tigre Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 True it was. Was plodding, but all they could do. The Bears ran a modified wishbone in the ‘70’s also. The legendary Bobby Douglass led the team in rushing, and I recall broke a record for QB’s in that department Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
