McNabb can't throw the deep ball?

[ice grillin you]

Yet, another brilliant statement

thanks g....i wouldnt go brillaint...but i thought i came strong with that one

[Diomedes]

When was the last time you saw TO catch a long pass on a go route? or a deep post?  I can't remember myself. Seems to me that he turns the shorter routes into big pass gains rather than simply catching the long ball.

Pinkston was useful for that because he DID stretch the field, not only making a few catches while doing it, but also looseing the D up underneath for the likes of Westbrook, TO and that dumbass TE (whatever his name is).

McNabb missed a wide open L.J. on a deep slant yesterday and threw up a couple of other very poor passes on deep balls.  His one decent "deep" pass was the deep in to McMullen.  Receivers that excel in going deep aside, McNabb obviously does not have all of his facilities available to him.

Word.  That overthrow of L.J. was abominable, an outright football travesty.  Donovan must be hurt to be missing throws like that.

The only time it got painful for me watching yesterday was when Andy called a pass play on 4th and 1.

That's ridiculous.  Run the friggen ball, damn it.

[ice grillin you]

bringing in lamar gordon to show run was just amazing to me...lamar friggin gordon???...lolol...like hes gonna scare people into thinking run...not that anyone thought they were gonna run anyway

[rjs246]

He needs to NOT THROW THE BALL 50 or more times a game and he'll be more effective.

A farging men.

i'm sure rjs will be pleased, we ran the ball double digit times this week.

Think again. Mostly because...

and most were in the first 15 scripted plays.

Also this...

nope...hell take a crossing route or even a short hitch and turn it into a big play...but hes not the kind of guy that gonna take a go route and blow away a cornerr...or run deep with a corner and go up and get a ball...

I completely agree with. No one is really effectively stretching the field, making the 35-45 short passes per game more difficult to complete.

Can we all agree to never speak of this again?

sorry, i forgot the [sarcasm][/sarcasm]  i was so frustrated sitting there watching them pass in easy running situations, and mcnabbs touch/accuracy was not on, run the farging ball big red!

[Wingspan]

he can throw it deep.

just not very well.

this season...he is 0-12 in passes over 31 yards in the air.

[Diomedes]

To add some perspective: Last season, he led the NFL in long completions.

[General_Failure]

Obviously the missing element is Freddie.

[henchmanUK]

Never mind the opinion that he can't throw the ball deep, the fact that he can't run is the offense's biggest downer this season. Without that element, you take such a huge proportion of his game away there is no way he is going to be as effective.

[Diomedes]

Never mind the opinion that he can't throw the ball deep...

Yeah, nevermind the topic of this thread.  Let's talk about something else.

good point the impact of this cannot be underestimated...my seats at the linc are third row from the top end zone...and the best thing about them is being able to see the field open up...and in seeing this i noticed numerous times yesterday that the chargers were leaving HUGE running lanes open for mcnabb and dropping their lb's very deep as they had no fear whatsoever of mcnabb running
