This Week in Passing: Vikings Recap
- Thread starter mascho
- Start date
Mark,
Not sure if you analyzed game 1 Amendola snaps, but were there ANY snaps when Amendola was open and Brady simply never looked his way? Or when Amendola & another receiver were both opened and Brady chose to go to the other guy?
The myth that's being perpetuated is 1) Brady does not trust Amendola 2) Brady ignores Amendola even when open. This is happening with casual fans perpetuated by the talking heads in the media.
Not sure if we have enough data but would like to dispel it once and for all if it's not showing up that way in the film studies.

Great stuff, thanks, was going to go back and watch Amendola if I had some free time now I don't have to 
Did they run Gronk down the seam at all Sunday from what you saw?
In general, how do you think he is at getting off of jams? Looked like they had more success throwing to Gronk when they got him in spots where he's not getting played physically at the line of scrimmage.
How did he look at blocking? It seemed they were using Fleming more in situations where the TE needed to block.

Most of his routes were short routes, usually outs. They ran him on one post/seam route but Amendola ran the same route from the other side of the formation, and I'd guess someone ran the wrong route.
Minnesota did a good job denying him a free release off the line. You're right that they were able to have success when they don't get a jam on him. Nature of being a TE.
He looked good blocking, but I think they like what they have in Fleming as a jumbo TE...as we'll see shortly #Teaser
I'm not usually one to post a "great stuff, thanks" post, but this whole central.sonsofsamhorn.net thing is wonderful. Seriously: great stuff, thanks.
