In a game that no one saw, Logan Noble probably wishes fewer people saw it.
The Philadelphia Liberty hosted the Arizona Outlaws in the first week of preseason, and Logan Noble, taking his first snaps in 4 years, looked every bit as rusty as one would expect. Hoping to knock off as much rust as the could, the Liberty coaching staff put the ball in his hands repeatedly. The results were not pretty.
Noble had 20 completions on 41 attempts for 292 yards. As we’d later see in Week 2, this was not a fluke, as Noble would give his receivers a lot of room to run, and set up many big plays. Unfortunately, this week, the big plays went more against him than for him. He threw just one touchdown, but a league record 7 interceptions. It should be noted that preseason records don’t actually get recorded, so fortunately, this will not immortalize him.
That’s particularly bad news for Jogn Floggity, who came up with 4 of those interceptions, which would also be a league record.
To rub salt in the wound, the Liberty had to watch Kevin Fitzpatrick, who they had the opportunity to draft, absolutely go off, as he threw for 3 touchdowns and ran another in, all while throwing no interceptions.
Noble would go on to improve considerably the following week, but after 2 games, he has already thrown 10 interceptions and been sacked 15 times. If he maintains that pace in the actual season, that would result in 70 interceptions and 105 sacks. That is exactly double the current record for interceptions (35 by Pierno in Season 3) and 10 more sacks than the current record (95 for Applehort in S7).
I am predicting a lot of running in Philadelphia.

Damn. Great article. Cold as ice. RIP Noble

I think Fitz (can I call him Fitz?) would have been a solid pick for Philly. At the same time I know how much scheming Adam does when building his teams so he clearly has a plan in mind that maybe just didn't align with when Fitzpatrick was coming into the league. I think this next QB class is going to be very deep so he took the risk of waiting another season. As a member of the original Philly draft class I'm excited to see if the leadership can take this team from the ground up yet again.
That being said I do think Fitzpatrick probably has the highest ceiling of any QB prospect from the past few drafts and likely the next few as well. Considering where Bronko is at in his career as well, Arizona got an absolute steal.

I call him Fitz a lot as well. And honestly, he's not a generational talent. Maximus (2 seasons before) and Falconi (next season) appear to be the same caliber. I think that with the QB options available next year, waiting was not a bad idea at all. This season will be extremely rough for them, but in 3 seasons, when Philly has their new QB starting and are ahead of Yellowknife and Baltimore, things will be looking up. I genuinely believe they will make the playoffs before Arizona will, just due to competition.

Noble is bad, and will be bad all season.
However you should also note that due to an error beyond our control, StoneHands (60 speed) was starting at CB for us in most formations over Hayden (93 speed). So that may have contributed slightly to your success.

I appreciate that information and will lower my expectations a bit.
