What is the average RG salary for a veteran on his second contract? I bet he's not overpaid and I bet we would have had to spend a lot more to get the kind of player you guys would rather have.

Thanks. Looks like he is a little higher on those lists than I expected.

Implicit in his statement is that you only want to roll right, which creates a self fulfilling, predicable trend. Most quarterbacks work for hours rolling out both ways. Yes, they prefer to roll right if they are right handle, but they can roll left, rotate the hips, plant and throw.

MM's actual statement clearly showed he was talking about on average, you have a QB roll out more towards his throwing shoulder, so right handers roll out right more often on average.

The Packers under Mike McCarthy absolutely rolled out left at times as a change up, which includes the Cowboys game (was that the playoffs) Rodgers pass to Cook to set up the Crosby FG... but on the drive they kept rolling out right, so throw off the defense, they rolled out left and totally caught them off guard.

I completely agree with your complaints about Mike McCarthy getting into habits and becoming predictable, there were games in which we fans could predict dive after five as well as run or pass. And the horrible Seahawks playoff game melt down, a Seahawks DL or two, said they what type of play was coming, just which direction they didn't, but easier to stop after they figured out what was coming.

But in this case, it was more my writing than his statement
