Dale Lolley's Post-Denver Thoughts

Re: Dale Lolley's Post-Denver Thoughts

Because he's playing against the first team D?

Because he's playing against reserves?

Nice breakdown by Lolley. Thanks for sharing.

So, when Dixon plays with the reserves, it makes him look good...but when Leftwich plays with the reserves, it makes him look bad?

I'm confused...is playing with the reserves good or bad?

If Dixon looked good against other teams' 2nd string, why couldn't Leftwich complete a pass against Denver's? If Dixon looks good playing against reserves, shouldn't Leftwich dominate them?

Dixon's speed against back ups is what sets him apart when playing against the reserves.

Lefty, having a reserve O-Line that is getting beat can't move like Dixon can.

Lefty looks better with the starters because he has a better O-Line in front of him.

Dixon looks worse with the starters because his speed isn't as much of a differentiating factor.

Dixon can't read a defense as well as Lefty can.

See, it's not that complicated.

why did lefty look horrible against detroit then? he played with the first string o-line against detroits first string defense. it was the same result in denver with the back up o-line against a backup defense.

He actually had a nice drive going until the fumbles by our RB.

Re: Dale Lolley's Post-Denver Thoughts

I didn't think Lefty looked horrible.

And another thing fans need to keep in mind: Teams do NOT game plan for the pre-season. They put in things they want to work on but they do NOT game plan for what an opponent may do.

Didn't Dixon have that same reserve O-line that gets beat. Although our reserve O-line completely dominated the Giants reserve D-line.

Lefty looks better when playing with the starters because the O-line is better? Better than what? Our starting O-line is probably ranked in the bottom third of the league.

I agree that Dixon can't read a defense as well as Lefty but Lefty can't react as fast as Dixon to pressure put on by said defense.

See, it's not that simple.

Actually it is that simple.

Re: Dale Lolley's Post-Denver Thoughts

Pouncey...

all the reserves vs. starters OL talk isn't needed.

Pouncey was the difference in both... he was a reserve and he is now a starter.

It's that simple.

So, Leftwich can't move the ball vs. starters or reserves and it's everybody's fault but his? If you call 0/4 looking better, I suggest you visit [url="http://www.dictionary.com"]http://www.dictionary.com[/url]

Re: Dale Lolley's Post-Denver Thoughts

IMO, Dixon looks better with the reserves because that is where he has been getting most of his practice and preseason reps. He has been playing with the backups and knows their tendencies. Lefty has been getting the reps with the first team and thus, is more comfortable with the starters.

I really think the coaching staff should have given Dixon a chance earlier in training camp instead of just handing the job to Leftwich.
