Re: The Gud, the bad and the Great. Rams Post game reactions
Jones has some serious speed, more than I think anyone realized. Also shows how worthless 40 times can be.

never saw him get caught from behind. Having a quick burst and getting up to speed quickly are way more important than having a high top speed that gives a lot of guys a great 40 time. |

He compared the grades PFF gave Trent to his own observations and said PFF was flat out wrong He basically said if Trent played like he did against the Rams he will be in the Probowl. He said coaches should use Trent's film from last Sunday as an example to show young tackles how to play the position. Yet, PFF had Trent very close to 0. I believe it was a negative score but I can't remember for certain. Audio Vault | ESPN 980 Hour 2 from 9-22-15 He did ding Corey on some pass plays but credited him with getting to the second level and making the block that sprung some of the biggest runs of the game. If PFF is that wrong about Trent's play, then it, they, he, whatever, could be and probably is wrong about others. I trust Cooley's analysis more than . . . Not sure what goes in the blank there. |

I focused on Trent. I wanted to see the pro bowl performance Cooley was talking about. I always get caught up in the game and have a hard time breaking it down without replaying it. I'm not a football expert, just a fan, but to my untrained eye his performance looked exactly like Cooley's analysis rather than a negative to zero. He might as well have been wearing pvc and holding a cat 'o' nine tails with metal rings. He was dominating a dude who is supposed to be a pro bowler. |

Re: The Gud, the bad and the Great. Rams Post game reactions
i don't think pff is totally worthless, but i'd have to say i trust cooley's breakdown more, since he watches like 12 hours on a single skins game (pff has soo much data to track that the analysis is shallower or somewhat automated in parts, i'm sure).
they might just have a rubric that they can hand to a high-schooler on "this is a +1 play, this is a -1 play." |

Re: The Gud, the bad and the Great. Rams Post game reactions
Sometimes, I would just prefer to enjoy a hard earned win by the team without the dissection to follow. This is one of those times.

Anyhow, PFF is used by ~19 NFL teams. Are they infallible? No; but neither is Cooley. |

Re: The Gud, the bad and the Great. Rams Post game reactions
^^ exactly.. not saying Cooley is wrong but those guys are pro scouts. Cooley is not. Players are notoriously bad at evaluating other players. They may have seen something else they did not like. PFF is typically high on Trent Williams.

"Offensive tackle Trent Williams is one of two left tackles to not allow a pressure this season." And not directly related to the Trent convo but Cooley also lacks objectivity. He admittedly is a fan of the Redskins AND also has a friendship with McVay and working relationship with J on the coaches show. Cooley's analysis is heavily influenced by their opinions. |

Re: The Gud, the bad and the Great. Rams Post game reactions
i dunno, cooley will say a player played like crap when they play like crap, which most analysts and talking heads are really reluctant to do, even when it's obvious. He;s also said he's not sure J is a good coach or the right coach too, so i really haven't seen a lot of obvious bias (except for talking about mcvay).

Re: The Gud, the bad and the Great. Rams Post game reactions
I think Cooleys breakdown of players performance is awesome. He goes into great detail on what specifically in their technique they did well or didn't do well. Hand positioning, getting to landmarks, accelerating at the right time, foot movement, choosing routes, etc.
He might be a little biased, but it seems like he tries to keep that in check and does a good job of it. |

Re: The Gud, the bad and the Great. Rams Post game reactions
Silverback has been damn impressive so far this year. Sometimes we seem to take his play for granted, but he is a top 5 tackle in the league. Yes top 5
