Get on the Kevin Kolb bandwagon!

"Here's my interpretation of Kevin Kolb. I think he's a smart kid with good instincts. I think he has a good, but not a great or an elite arm. He doesn't have Donovan's arm. I think they'll go back more towards that West Coast Offense that they got away from a little bit because Donovan's strength was driving the ball down the field vertically," Mayock said.

"I think what they're really going to try and do is what they did this year when they were successful - throw the ball a lot early, try to get ahead."

This the hottest steamiest pile of shtein I have ever read. The team was inconsistent at best when passing all the time. The team got successful when Westbrook went down. The team ran McCoy and Weaver, and it opened up the pass. Then Westbrook came back and they went back to passing first. If they decide to pass 80% of the time, its not going to be pretty. He's going to make mistakes. There is no way they let him pull the trigger 40 plus times a game. Unless he is a God in practice, I have to see this for myself.

Yeah it's amazing that things collect dust when not being used for 6 months out of the year

[Rome]

in most houses people clean their stuff more than once a month, munson.

[ice grillin you]

key word: houses

[Rome]

and i probably should have posted once every six months too.

but let's not push it where munson is concerned.

breathe in.  breathe out.  reeeeeelaaaaaaax brutha.  gooooooose blah blah.

mcnabb didn't throw it 40x a game and kolb won't either.  i've seen igy preach this several times and it's the absolute truth.  mcnabb has 25 games with 40 or more pass attempts.  so that's an average of a little over 2 games per year.  probably more than most, but hardly eye popping.  the majority of his career, he's been in the high 20's/low 30's for pass attempts per game. 

the problem isn't so much how much reid passes, but when he passes.  he's very pass happy during the first 3 quarters.  then if he has the lead in the 4th, he'll balance things out with the run.  at least, this is the formula when mcnabb is under center.  when other qb's are in there, he's more balanced throughout the course of the game.  i don't know why this is, but it is. 

he's still calling the same number of pass vs run.  he's just not waiting until the 4th qtr to start feeding the running backs when there's a qb not named mcnabb taking the snap.

oh you looked that up did you. either way its ridiculous to see the team do so well when they run and the turn bi-polar because of faith in the pass. its disgusting and pretty much a joke. i hate that fat farg

of course i looked it up.  spouting off random numbers and percentages is igy's schtick. 

anyway, the point is that with donovan gone, reid might actually turn into a more competent play caller.  he's done it in the past with fill-in qb's.  of course, it's easy to adjust your play calling habits for a few games.  the question is can he do it for an entire season? 

[ice grillin you]

reids problems are more like...

throwing sideline fades on 3rd and 1
going shotgun on the first play of a road game
throwing NO MATTER WHAT the defense is doing to stop your passing game
throwing after running for two consecutive first downs
passing on first down to much


the one time reid does get pass happy is when the running games fails miserably early and he gives up on it...but even that is because he panics and doesnt know what to do...not because hes some air coryell passing maniac

[mussa]

I think Kolb will be fine if they focus on the run first. Reid sucks at the lack of running game, clock management and not being able or willing to adjust during games. These all fair pretty zesty for Jesus H Kolb

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Yes, it is realistic to think they'll be a "run first" team.

Don't expect the world to be turned over.  Just hope that the situational playcalling, like IGY mentioned, is not so out of whack.

[SD]

i thought that was munson's aunt & uncle in the rape basement.

I probably wasn't around when that phrase was coined but whoever it was kudos.

[reese125]

All of those situational types that he listed will never go away with Reid. That is his schtick and his overall philosophy to gain yards.

Do you think hes going to change his 3 and 1 pass out in the flat philosophy because Kolb is qb'ing now? Hell no..just a different guy now.

He has a qb that threw the ball over 75 times a game at Houston. Typically, if you have a guy like that that throws that much they need to get into a rhythm...which means expect a lot of the same right out of the gate with a tad more emphasized on running the ball.

[The BIGSTUD]

They will rely less on the big play because Kolb can actually throw things other than deep balls.

[General_Failure]

The best we can hope for is less 3rd and 1 situations because the receivers will be hit in stride. Behind them. Weakly. Did I hit on all the bullet points for Kolb's arm there?
