Kirwan's Preseason Sacks
I just read this article "Now's the time to get handle on pass protection" and I wish I had read it earlier, I also would like to review this w/week 3 numbers added. It could use another column, interceptions, would be nice to see and perhaps completion rate as well.
time something I could use more of, but I have less and less of as time passes by ....
Using the numbers the article shows, you could expect better games (more wins?) from Houston, Oakland, Atlanta, Detroit this year and I guess I wouldn't get my hopes up for Buffalo, Carolina, Kansas City, Miami, Minnesota, NYG, Pittsburgh, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, & Washington.
you know I think I figured it out. Go to nfl.com/stats select By Player Category, choose Passing, then click on Team heading and voila, it's sorted by team w/sacks in the 2nd farthest from the right and Attempts just a couple of columns over from Team.
This makes it really interesting as STL QB Bulger has a rating of 51 and 2nd stringer STL QB Frerotte has a rating of 102.4
other hot backup QB's - BUF T Edwards, CLE B Quinn, GB A Rodgers, JAC D Garrad, MIA J Beck, NYJ K Clemens, SD B Volek, SF T Dilfer, TB B Gradkowski, and TEN K Collins
even worse is MIA T Green rated at 47.9

8/25 results - comments, 8/26 picks
winning plays: How I did:
IND & OVER 1-1, side:no, total:yes
TB & OVER 0-2, side:no, total:no
WAS & UNDER 2-0, side:yes, total:yes ***note*** game ended w/power outage
HOU & OVER 1-1, side:no, total:yes
NYJ & UNDER 1-1, side:yes, total:no
SF & OVER 0-2, side:no, total:no
SEA & OVER 1-1, side:yes, total:no
CLE & UNDER 1-1, side:yes, total:no
SD & OVER 2-0, side:yes, total:yes
***vegas I believed returned money on the BAL/WAS game due to the fact the game was not completed normally due to power outage ***
ATS 9-9 sigh 1/2 correct overall, I was a really mystified w/TB/MIA & SF/CHI game
I should've listened to Brent Crow radio Thursday archive @sportsmemo site, but I missed it and wasn't thinkin' of it.
DYK that the Station Casinos allows 6, 6.5, & 7 pt Teasers? Coast Casinos does as well and already has parlay cards out for Preseason action, which doesn't pay as well as off the board, but will have (depending on line/total movement) better numbers on game days.
HOU O appears to be much better, half of HOU D is good, other half well....,
I think Miami O&D will have problems,
I'm wondering about WAS is Gibbs playing possum or will they stink at the beginning just like last year?
ARI has definitely improved on O though run game could improve,
DAL D at times is too aggressive and can be fooled, O sometimes appears to be predictable or is it me?
DEN appears to have D issues and perhaps O as well, though this could be play calling
SD very good though I thought I noticed that when TE Gates appears to linger about 1/2 second in huddle longer than normal, then the play is going to him. I could be wrong there weren't many closeup to ID players, but @field level I wonder if LB's are paying attention and even if they knew could most LB's stop Gates? D is fine, though safety/CB mental lapses do occur. which accounts for ARI QB Leinart getting long pass play completions over the top.
CLE when will QB Brady start?

8/25 picks and comments for 8/24
due to other priorities I was unable to blog my picks for Friday's games. I did watch portions of STL @OAK and TEN @BUF. I believe OAK will be a much better team this year and you could bet on over the total number of wins for the season. STL needs RB S Jackson or they could have been playing much more conservatively, so I'm not sure w/them.
BUF w/o QB Losman or should I say WR L Evans will be in a world of hurt.
TEN is improving despite the loss of veteran players during the off season, though w/their schedule I doubt if they will improve upon their SU W/L record from last year.

1-3 ATS
should have known BAL D is so dominant just playing under total should win some $$$
so CHI motivation as loser of SB and using SB champion IND as measuring stick, really could have been CHI key point, despite QB Grossman experiment, QB Griese did play well
for the year 30-28 ATS

8/16 ATS 2-0 KC is in for a horrible year...
8/17 ATS 2-4 odd how I put an X next to TEN, but somehow I type NE ... sigh and I guess I should have picked PHI, but I ignored the 1st game back for McNabb factor.
MIN D looked great, though this is 2nd game in a row for NYJ that went over total. NYJ QB Pennington has never had the strongest of arms, but he tended to make smart decisions .... I wonder when we'll see Clemens start? midway thru season?
BUF vanilla O looks pathetic, ATL hmmm O looks like a few fixes and it could be ok.
OL's for both TEN & NE allowed too many QB pressures/sacks
I did notice... that every team (excluding Thursdays participant MIA 2-0 & KC 0-2 and NE 0-1-1) got rid of the goose egg for their ATS record they're all 1-1
as for Over/Under records, notables include CAR, NYJ 2-0, BUF, KC 0-2
for the year ATS 20-16

8/12 preseason
08/12 8:00 PM
289 Sea 35 U
290 SD -3.5 X
the total has moved a bit toward the under, I wish I had more time to check on QB's
SD has depth at all positions thus earning my pick and I don't expect SEA QB Hasselbeck to play w/QB Wallace to start, but for how long?
SD QB Rivers will start but again for how long? same question w/QB Whitehurst and the others
officially, a no pick, but I'll take SD and the under

8/11 results
ATS 6-8
unexpected GB really did start fast, but PIT was uninterested?
TEN QB Young announced will not play one hour before game and WAS DOESN'T start fast
CHI doesn't appear to be deep
OAK OL plays well in 1st qtr (only game I watched - just 1st qtr and parts 3rd and 4th)
ARI QB Leinart misses WR Fitzgerald on a couple of passes (high)
for the season ATS 16-12

ATS 6-2
picked wrong game for over though historically NE and scored a lot in 1st game, NYJ is not playing the same as last preseason, they are now a bet on team IMHO.
for the season ATS 10-4

8/9 results
ATS 2-2
1st game CIN @DET, what I noticed is that QB D Johnson played much longer and was more productive than I thought he would be, thus my picks being totally off instead of Fav/under combo the winning combo was dog/over (CIN D did get a TD and DET D did fairly well)
2nd game IND @DAL, just as predicted, pretty much followed reports from blogs etc. thus 2-0 ATS in this game
for the year ATS 4-2

Thursday 8/9 preseason picks
263 Cin 35 U
264 Det -3 X***
265 Ind 34 U**
266 Dal -5 X
Here's a url for CIN @DET game:
http://www.mlive.com/lions/stories/index.ssf?/stories/lions/20070808chat_transcript.htmlnote: DET new DC says we're setting tone for the season
not much on IND @DAL but I do like this blog:
http://blogs.indystar.com/philb/2007/08/dripping_sweat_with_observatio.html
note: IND QB Navarre was cut
here's one for DAL:
http://www.dallascowboys.com/news.cfm?id=47775BE9-C2AB-87C9-4BCE6FBF0B70AF3F
blitzing D looks like a winner SU, covering -5? well I'd take the chance
historically Dungy's teams in preseason are decidedly uninterested in winning game and the under is even more prevalent
DAL new HC Philips leans slightly to winning ATS and even less toward the over
CIN HC Lewis is nearly the same as DAL coach
DET HC Marinelli was 1-3 SU (2-2)ATS last year and 1-3 O/U
264 Det -3 X***
265 Ind 34 U**
266 Dal -5 X

HoF results
gee I thought it would rain at least once during the game, but somehow the rain stopped just for the game huh? Anyway my guess was on the $$ and I turned a nice little profit. We'll see if the rest of preseason has more "hidden" jewels.
I guess you can pretty much bet on PIT to cover as their intensity cannot be questioned w/their new coach. Meanwhile NO HC Payton is playing to the same tune as last year. You should be able to pick against them, but the total will be a bit harder unless you have a bead on their opposition, such as w/PIT .
I suspect in this Friday's game for NO that BUF should be favored and for PIT on Saturday they should be favored.

HoF game
261 NO 35.5 U**
262 PIT -2.5 X**
PIT HC is conducting tough 2-a-days, this should translate to a better chance to win this preseason game, covering the spread w/a D that wants the game. QB's look a bit better w/PIT and the drop off is noticeable w/NO.
note: NO in '06 preseason scored 19, 7, 14, 9 and allowed 16, 30, 27, 10 - an indicator that NO HC prefers to play possum in the preseason
This appears to be a 2-picker that will double your $$, of course PIT HC Tomlin could play possum as well, I lean toward the under...
