I am not a doctor, but I concur.

Weren't you trumpeting Costa earlier in the year?

This is a probably a bad way to analyze this issue. If a QB is performing very well, it's likely the result of him getting good protection and getting the ball out. By definition he's going to get hit less, resulting in much fewer opportunities to take an illegal hit.

Damn, I've said this exact same thing before. It's going to suck when it happens.

Whatever Bennett's faults are, that play wasn't one. There's one place where you can throw that ball within reach of Bennett and it likely not result in a catch -- that's where Tony threw it.

I just wish we friggin' knew whether it was happening or not. I understand it's not a story anymore, but shit going unknown like this irks me, just because. Shanahan makes a good point -- if it ain't showing up on the mic, it likely didn't happen. But if Romo and the line are saying it did, I...

I read this article a couple days ago. I kept looking for an actual explanation (and potentially an answer), but found neither. Rather, it's just incoherent rambling.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying doesn't happen. When someone says they're "faster in pads", they just mean they diagnose and react better in game, so they appear faster than they are timed.

No one "run[s]faster in pads." But, quick instincts and reactions can make up for lesser athleticism. Adding pads isn't going to make one person run faster in a straight line, though.

The times can mean one of several things (1) he's slow, (2) he didn't properly prepare for his 40 time, or (3) he had a bad day. Take Ted Ginn for example. Before he started training for his 40 time, he ran a 4.7 or 4.8.

Coverages are basically the same for every type of defense. He just needs the rust knocked off.

Hatcher > Bowen By a long shot.

In my opinion Collinsworth is the best in the business right now. Has been for some time.

He also "killed" the TD to Austin. I'm not sure what he saw on that play, though, because the coverage didn't look favorable pre-snap to me. I guess in film study he saw something there.

Wait....you mean to tell me ALAN BALL SUCKS?!?!??!?!
