Mobile quarterbacks seem to be the NFL’s new fad. The excitement of watching gifted athletes Khari Willis Jersey , who are the centerpiece of an offense, run can be quite entertaining. The NFL and their raging fans were shocked this year by all of the quarterbacks who were deceivingly fast and agile, looking quicker than some of the running backs on their teams.Mobility from the quarterback position is nothing new, as it has been overlooked, but has always been around the league. For decades, quarterbacks have had ample skill to scramble out of the pocket and pick up a few yards with their legs, rather than their arms. Being a mobile quarterback simply does not mean a quarterback who can run the football. Mobile quarterbacks are a dual threat athlete, as they can thread the needle when opportunity strikes and they can scramble out of the pocket avoiding a loss of a down and some yards. Mobility in the quarterback position can make a good quarterback a marvellous one.Our list only has three current NFL players, though, and one of them has looked to be washed up for a couple of years. The reason we could not put more current NFL players on the list is simply because they have not yet proved themselves to be better than the mostly retired list we have put together. That doesn't mean that they can make it onto this list in the future! Italian skier Matteo Marsaglia took advantage of changing weather conditions Thursday to post the fastest time in final training ahead of the classic men’s World Cup downhill on the Streif course.
Wearing bib No. 54 Josh Allen Jersey , Marsaglia had better visibility than the early starters as clouds were moving. He edged Brice Roger of France by 0.01 seconds and Vincent Kriechmayr of Austria by 0.16 after a shortened run.
”I am quite surprised,” said Marsaglia, who returned this season from a 21-month injury break.
The 32-year-old Italian hurt his hip in a super-G crash on the Olympic hill in South Korea in February 2016. Working on his comeback, he ruptured his ACL in offseason training in Chile seven months later.
”Now I restart slowly, the feeling is coming back,” said Marsaglia, who failed to score World Cup points in his seven races this season.
He skipped the Wengen downhill last week and competed on the Europa Cup circuit in order to find his rhythm again.
The traditional Hahnenkamm races open with a super-G on Friday, followed by the penultimate downhill ahead of the Pyeongchang Olympics on Saturday. A slalom concludes the event on Sunday.
Jared Goldberg of the United States was 0.26 seconds behind Marsaglia in fourth place. Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway, who leads the downhill standings, was 0.52 seconds behind in 10th. Downhill world champion Beat Feuz of Switzerland and Olympic champion Matthias Mayer of Austria finished outside the top 30.
Training on the entire course was held Tuesday, when Italian racer Christof Innerhofer was the fastest.
Heavy snow on Wednesday changed the characteristics of the Streif, regarded one of the most dangerous courses on the World Cup with an 85-percent grade shortly after the start and several far jumps and sharp turns.
On some sections in Tuesday’s training, racers were more than 10 kph faster than usual while approaching the jumps, sending them not only longer but also higher up in the air.
Several racers, including Svindal and Feuz, complained about it, and 2014 Streif winner Hannes Reichelt said he felt ”like a ski jumper.” They forced organizers to adapt the critical spots and lower the jumps at the Mausefalle and the Alte Schneise.
”Everyone was surprised by the high speed in the first training. We couldn’t foresee that T.J. Hockenson Jersey ,” FIS race director Markus Waldner said.
As fresh snow made the course slower for Thursday’s session, the jumps were no longer a problem.
Kriechmayr, who was the fastest before the skies cleared, said the training wasn’t a good indicator for Saturday’s race.
”I took more risks than most others, wanted to go the limit,” the Austrian said. ”But we only used half of the course today and races here are usually decided at the bottom.”
