not sure if you had a typo there but he'll be rocking 12 this fall. (bla bla bla Shane Morris wears 12!) It'll be a strange transition seeing a big #12 and a skinny #21 this fall.

Denard's last pass
Denard's last pass
was that back foot throw bad form/technique? I'm no qb but just hearing all the chatter about "not throwing off his back foot" and wondering if that was an example of a mistake or if it was part of play design.

it was pretty Denard esque

it was not the best of forms. You got to step up and take that hit to deliver the needed pass. Although its tough to tell whats going on in these videos given the close shots they use to not give away too much.

I don't think it was bad
I don't think it was bad
I don't think it was bad footwork, it looked like it was by design on that play. It was a play action pass and his first read was to the TE in the flat. From that it seems the play was designed to get short yardage on a safe pass. If the defense plays the run (which you would expect on a play action pass) that route is going to be open quickly, but it becomes extremely important for the QB to get the ball to the TE quickly. Thus the back foot throw, if he took time to set his feet that gives more time for the defense to catch up to the play. If he was throwing downfield it would be important that he set his feet, but on a quick pass like this meant to get short yardage, it is more important that he get the ball out fast.

The play design setting up
The play design setting up
The play design setting up for a quick pass doesn't mean that footwork becomes meaningless. He still could have set his feet, and he probably shouldn't have been moving backward at that point. Ideally, he would be attacking the LOS after the play action fake in case his options were covered and he needed to run the ball.

He ends every interview with 'everyone always asks about Denard, do you think he's improving as a passer'? If you yourself are going to say it every time, might as well drop the first part.

I'm going to ask you 8 questions about the past and future TE's and nothing about yourself. I'll then finish with the same Denard question I ask everybody.

Well, Karsh did ask what this season holds for him...and Moore said "Just to try to go out there and help win games." That was a pretty generic answer.
I would have preferred something like, "I'ma be a f***in' soldier!"

He did seem like kind of a dick the way he handled this particular interview. Of course Moore seemed oblivious so who the hell cares anyway. Doug has likely given up on asking relevant questions due to the fact they won't illicit a real answer.

The questioning provides no info and is so predictable. Just questions about former players, hair and Denard.

The Question Regarding Brandons...
The Question Regarding Brandons...
In reply to Thorin's question regarding Brandons on the team, going back 15 years, we've had nine of them including Brandon Moore. The others are, in no particular order, Brandon Kornblue, Brandon Smith, Brandon Herron, Brandon Williams, Brandon Harrison, Brandon Graham, Brandon Logan and of course, Brandon Minor. The outlier is the one Brandin - Bradin Hawthorne, so if spelling is not an issue, then the count is ten.
Devin Funchess looks pretty good in those clips - TE seems like it will be in good hands for some years to come here.

Anyway, like I was sayin', Brandon is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, Brandon-kabobs, Brandon creole, Brandon gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple Brandon, lemon Brandon, coconut Brandon, pepper Brandon, Brandon soup, Brandon stew, Brandon salad, Brandon and potatoes, Brandon burger, Brandon sandwich. That- that's about it.
