The try to stump the great collin on a football question thread.

pussy.

 

Im not worried with what you feel is right or wrong, it's not your choice. You believe you've earned special privelages, so not unlike these threads attacking you, you're getting those special privelages. You want selectivity, and you're getting it.

 

LOL

 

No, what I want is for you to admit the truth about yourself. You won't do it in words, but doing it through your actions is a nice consolation prize.

 

No I meant comeback route. It's not a hook or a curl. In a hook/curl route the ball is delivered before the receiver breaks. In a comeback route the ball is thrown when the receiver breaks because he runs back toward the line of scrimmage, hence the name 'comeback'.

The comeback route is a part of football vocabulary at every level. Some use it as I described and sometimes it is used when a corner is in press coverage and the reciever starts in motion thens 'comes back' to his original position to keep the corner from getting in a set position to jam. It is also used when recievers work back to a scrambling QB.

Again it is clear you never played the game and just run your mouth pretending to know what you are talking about.

The correct answer to my original question was that I made the right decision. In that situation you never throw the ball short of the 1st down marker unless you have no other option. In my situation, the corner either picked up on my signal to the X reciever and jumped the route or he was baiting me at the line of scrimmage. Either way he made a great play and you are a fraud. Thanks so much.

 

that I'm not going to give you special privelages? Sure. That your actions have consequences? Sure.
That I'm embarassed? No. If I were embarassed, I'd do like a few other mods and delete. If I felt strongly enough about your actions, sure, I'd ban. I'm telling you because I feel strongly, but no one's actually going to leave because you say so, so I'm not really that worried about it. But hey, you think this is somehow something for me to be rock-bottom about, this and disagreeing about gap scheme.

 

and yeah, I don't get the resistance to the comeback route ideal.

 

No, it isn't, which was my point. At no point in college or the NFL does anyone use a route where the wide receiver turns, then runs back to the ball. The only time that happens is when the QB is scrambling and the WRs are expected to come back towards the line of scrimmage. There is no such thing as a "comeback route" at those levels, and most high schools don't even use such a thing. It's a pee wee level play because it's used when players aren't skilled enough to employ timing. A 12 year old will often struggle with the concept of throwing to a spot on the field before the receiver turns, so the "comeback route" allows him to wait for the receiver and then make a throw after he's made that turn. It's a simplistic, juvenile route that higher levels don't ever use precisely because waiting gives the defense time to react. Curls, hooks, and other timing patterns are supposed to be thrown before the receiver makes his break, giving the defender no time to adjust.

I have no idea if you even believe that, but you unintentionally just humiliated yourself yet again by bragging about running a pee wee play.

No, that's not the correct answer at all. As I said, it would depend on the coverage. If the opposing defense is in man free or man underneath with a deep center, then the halfback might indeed be wide ass open on one side of the field, especially if the flanker runs a crossing route. It's beyond amusing that in trying to set a "trap" for me, you ended up making yourself look clueless.



magnus:
You're saying that you have one set of rules for people you dislike (me), and one set of rules for everyone else. As I said, I could spend multiple threads talking about your blatant hypocrisy and would never make as convincing an argument about it as you made with your own actions. You still seem to think this will teach me some lesson, but I'm thrilled that you're revealing your bias.

 

You are unreal and completely shameless. I wasn't trying to set you up. No need. You make a fool of yourself every time you pretend to know the game. Most of these people are fooled by you but I'm not. Comeback routes are run at every level of football, you flaming pile of fraud.
