Under Review - Kyle Orton And The Play Action

awesome! fyi, I voted for video and captions, but only because my gf is asleep next to me and I can’t find my headphones. :)

mute it and throw on the radio if thats what you want! i prefer to hear some analysis from the guy who is cutting the damn tape!

I like to hear your analysis.

These are always good to go through and see and I like the commentary. This was a fun one to watch too because of the pounding we gave in this game.

How many people are voting for music. I agree with chancie.

But sometimes I can’t use sound, so the captions are preferred. (maybe both)

I greatly appreciate the effort you put into these! Commentary by the editor is apparently waaay underrated.

I like the idea of captions as well, but then the words just get in the way of the video, so that’s hard to definitively say I would want you to caption it all up… Plus you already spend plenty of time on these obviously, so it’d be hard for me to ask for any more of you. I think I’ll end up watching this one only about oh, twenty more times or so ( ;
Great work again! Commentate it up!

I like the commentary with low music in the background just like you did in this one. Thanks for the hard work you do on these.

GO BRONCOS!

If you go back and review the game tape, our first series was all passing. Once that got in their heads, we started running the ball. When that proved wildly succesful, we added in play action and screens.

The amazing thing about Kyle Orton’s season has been his ability to effectively sell play action even when we had no prayer of running the ball. Go look at some of the games early on when we only 10 to 12 times the entire game. Kyle was still able to make the play action passes work.

It’s entirely underated but Orton is one of the best ball handling QBs in the game today. But all that said, yes it was even more effective when we could actually threaten with a run game. Here’s to chasing the Chargers all over the field again.

Wonder if anyone has that stat handy, if not, I might have to make a post out of it.

Thanks for this Colby, great as usual….

My vote for the format of the piece would be to continue the commentary and completey cut out the music. The music made it very hard to understand you. So, no music, your commentary, and maybe add in the text for visual cues for the guys who are at work and can’t hear you. Just my thoughts, thanks again and keep it up!

Commentary and captions would be perfect. Great work once again!

I liked the commentary better as well. BTW I just visited the Blots blog. They have an article about why they should fear Orton. Interesting to see what the comments are. The funny thing to me was the way that they assume all we can do is pass the ball. Pass rush is what they expect to do. I wonder what Norv is expecting. I pointed out the 160+ rushng yards Denver had last Sunday.

I thought you’d like to know – NFL.com included a link to your article in their Around the Web segment (I think this means that your work is considered good enough to be of interest to a broader audience and not just us mildly obsessive Broncos’ fans). Congratulations. :)
