Teams will do that, use a slot on the roster to pick up someone who knows a team well and is angry enough to spill what he remembers of the playbook to be helpful. The guy could even make a play or two.
If Man & Shott are as smart as they are supposed to be then they will come up with plan B to negate what supposed info Strait may think he has & passed omto the Bears CS.
Well he was in TC so I guess he was there fpr the A plan. I also think he started the 1st few games before being cut the 2nd time
Doesn't matter that much imo.Cotchery and Coles would be hard to cover if you know exactly where their going.
How do you figure that? Being able to read the tendencies of WRs, and consequently predict their routes is a big bonus for defenders. If the Bears' secondary really has the WRs pegged, then it'll be hard for Coles and Cotchery to get them to bite on double moves as well. If this news is true, it'll be particularly troublesome for the Jets' passing game, since it's based more on short-medium range passes, where route running matters more than the ability to flat out run past defenders.
I don't know.I see it as an advantage for them but not a huge advantage.Coles and Cotchery will still get open some how and make plays.
One thing about Mangini and our coaching staff is that our offense evolves from week to week. The base offense that we installed in training camp has the same lingo but it's now 10 weeks later. Every week the coaching staff installs plenty of new plays to take advantage of the oppositions weaknesses. As you've probably noticed every week our offense gives some different looks, things that might not have even been worked on in training camp. The only advantage might be that Strait would be able to give some sort of heads up on the calls at the line of scrimmage but even that probably changes from week to week.
This sort of thing happens all the time - any time a player plays against a former team, they try to pass along whatever information they might have. I have to think that Mangini would know this, and put a few wrinkles in to handle it. After all, all it takes is one go route when they're expecting a square out, and it's 6 points. I think most DBs play the man (or the zone), and aren't thinking too much ahead about what the WR might do.
To put your minds at ease, Strait sucks. How could he even comprehend a WRs tendencies? If he could, wouldn't he play more?
guys please, before this nonsense goes any further.....teams watch hours and hours of tapes on the upcoming opponent....3/4 of these guys in the NFL cant spell their name. Do you really think strait is gonna in the room with Lovie and his asst. coaches explaining to them what theyre watching......heres a little scenario for ya Strait: umm yeah ummm coach lovie....I thought you might want to know that ummm..well see what Im sayin is ummm...that J-mac guy...umm he tends to have some allimagator arms and ummmm Lovieinterupting) yeah thats great derek, why dont you get back onto the practice field, we'll handle it from here. Thanks though man
Yeah, I really don't put too much weight in this info. I can't imagine Strait having that many secrets to pass along to Chicago that aren't already on the game films.
