HoosierCat Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Some dumbass web site has a selection of factoids for each team so far in preseason. Here's the division:Baltimore Ravens: Only one of Joe Flacco’s 18 attempts has been in the air for more than 9 yards. That pass was intercepted.Cincinnati Bengals: New outside linebacker James Harrison has three run stops on 16 run plays. That leads to a 18.8 Run Stop Percentage, which is fifth-highest for 4-3 outside linebackers.Cleveland Browns: Brandon Weeden has an NFL QB Rating of 150.9 when not under pressure this preseason, and an NFL QB Rating of 39.6 when under pressure.Pittsburgh Steelers: The offensive lineman who has looked the best through two games is second-year guard David DeCastro. His +2.6 overall rating is tied for third-highest among right guards.So, since Flacco hasn't thrown a pass over 10 yards he sucks and ought to be benched, right?

COB Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 So your logic is:1. Cannon-armed QB who is known to throw with power and accuracy downfield does not throw downfield during pre-season.2. Other QB with red hair does not throw downfield during pre-season.3. Therefore, QB with red hair must be a cannon-armed QB who can throw with power and accuracy downfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted August 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 I just wouldn't take much away from what the first-string guys do in preseason. I'm sure both Flacco and Dalton will be slinging a few downfield once the real games start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
