[QUOTE="pizzle, post: 723341, member: 12428"] You claimed no one "roams" on defense anymore. I was just trying to show you that statement didn't make any sense. What do you think Troy Polamalu, Charles Woodson, and Ray Lewis are revered for? Or like I said before, what is Earl Thomas revered for being able to do in the Seahawks STANDARD D, where in certain situations (especially in the back end) [I]THEY DON'T SWITCH THEIR DEFENSIVE LOOKS AT ALL AND PLAY STRAIGHT UP BALL, WITH THOMAS DEEPER THAN ANY OTHER FS IN THE LEAGUE AND SINGLE HIGH?[/I] Clay Matthews has even been asked at times to "roam" by Dom Capers in dime, whether it be to cover the middle of the field, spy, or to perform a delayed/staggered blitz. If you don't consider nickel and dime defenses as standard, when the percentages they are played by NFL teams rises every year, then you must not know what you're watching, pal. Either you didn't understand what I initially meant, or you're taking my words out of context deliberately. This is what I stated: I meant that there have been a number of occasions over the years on 3rd and very long that I have seen Clay, from either the OLB or ILB spot, drop into coverage and be nearly 7-15 yards downfield right around the area where one or two DBs and a receiver are competing for a ball. That is regardless of whether his initial drop was only to take him 5-7, or 7-10 yards from the LOS. And just because that happens in a game once or twice doesn't mean Clay is just totally ignoring the scheme assignment/not doing what Dom asked him to do. FOOTBALL IS NOT A SPORT PLAYED BY ROBOTS, at least not yet. It is also not executed by coaches; it is game-planned by coaches to be executed by PLAYERS. And things happen in real life, just like on the gridiron. I'm sure if Clay was near the play after the ball was just about to be obviously thrown near the first down marker, there are some scenarios where even if technically he might not receive a plus grade, he may not get a minus either/get chewed out for not being in his 5-7 drop zone when the action just happened to be 4 yards past that. Stop trying to troll with the "are you mad" comments. That's called sneak-dissing. [/QUOTE]
