If there is one question I have about Mark Trestman it'd be not getting a back up if AC went down. I suspect he simply thinks that he can quickly prep a new QB to play and win for him as he'd ensure he was brought on right. I have no idea on that though or how he runs practice to give his back ups the right reps like WB did with his QBs. I can only guess that the Lions still do this in practice but this year Mike Reilly did not get that much play time.SammyGreene wrote:Roger Godell must be giddy. NFL offensive coordinators are ahead of defensive coordinators right now as notahomer points out. The winning team in each of last weekend's 4 divisional playoff games produced 30 points or more. Throw in the fact there is also a new generation of star quarterbacks — Wilson, RG3, Luck and Kaepernick — who have stepped in and thrived in their first season which is almost unheard of in this league.
Obviously very talented QBs but also systems that they are exceling in and showcasing their athleticism for the most part. The OCs deserve a lot of credit. And you're right David, Seahawks offensive line was excellent Sunday. Jim Rome is so right when he compared Kaepernick to being one of the X-Men playing QB for the 49ers.
Hopefully more CFL GMs and coaches are paying attention. Other than BC and Calgary with Tate, not enough young QBs are being developed up here. By necessity, the Bombers tried but the jury is definitely still out on Elliott and Brink.
Instead, we are seeing teams like Edmonton (Joseph) and Hamilton (Burris) lean on aging veterans. Even Montreal is somewhat guilty by leaving Cavillo in for all 4 quarters regardless of the score.
I think that WB would have seen a superstar CFL QB in the 'Hawks new starter.
I think 49ers vs Patriots as a good Superbowl but last week didn't pick well.
