Separate names with a comma.
There is also the questionable personality trait that others have flagged up on Parsons that could take him off the draft board
And I would say that Goff & Wentz are still struggling (and have signed mega deals) AND cost a boat load of picks for their respective teams, so...
This plus as has been said by TI and t8, keep Bowden. Also Grant will take the odd one to the house on returns but as a receiver, he has hands of...
Agree that both players would be great additions but don't like the idea of overdrafting two players that high though. What if both become injury...
Not strictly true, neither Herbert or Burrow were rehabbing a serious hip surgery. They also had better receiving talent to throw to even though...
I think for RT, the best thing for him was a fresh start and new surroundings, which he has found in Tennessee. Not being allowed to audible or...
Would like to see an All 22 to see what options he had - I did see that Simon C was on Twitter and he said it was only a 3 man route with nothing...
Just my 2 cents on the safety, he probably took the lesser of the worse case scenario, as he didn't seem to have anything open. As a rookie, he...
All very true Alex - a work in progress as to be expected
You are right, it is the plays going right that he will have an issue with but it is the same with the majority of right handers going left....
Totally appreciate that it's not easy but he pretty much had both hands on it - he is electric when he gets the ball in his hands but his catching...
And could have had an additional 90 yard TD if Grant didn't have hands of stone
That's keen Lucky, slightly early breakfast call at 5 Looks like I'm setting my alarm for 3am - I did the same thing this year for the 1st round...
I'm thinking yaah and damn, as it means it's a 3am game in the UK - at least I won't be working on the 27th
Very true lol
Likely to be me getting the wrong end of the stick Alex, although none of the media outlets thought we were going to win that game (hardly an...
Two elective surgeries to limit future high ankle sprains, which is one of the more regular injuries in the NFL
Not having a dig at you Alex, as there's a few on this same argument but we aren't the only team that has benefited from facing a team missing...
And how many 3 and outs did Fitz have at the weekend (more than a few) or long sustained drives (not that many I bet)?
Fed Ex Field appears to be a bit of a hoodoo ground for QB's -Kyle Allen's season was brought to a premature end a couple of weeks ago, which was...
We've been missing some important players every week as well - lost our 1st choice DT for the season, lost our no 2 receiver, lost 3 RB's, our no...
Definitely blow out wins should not be the norm, particularly as the whole point for the league is that they want parity but as was said...
Do you not count 5 wins in the last 9 games last year (with "the worst roster in NFL history" Steve Young) and 5 wins in the last 6 this season...
That is totally possible, no way to know really
It's all about the clicks TDK, the more crap they write, the more clicks they get from annoyed fans
Fan is not short of fanatic for nothing - we need a bit more hope & excitement in our lives, particularly at the moment
Don't think anyone is saying to ignore the RB position and just focus everything on the QB (we've already had bitter experience of how that plays...
But do you not think that if the offense had had the ball more, he likely would have thrown for more yards? With the D scoring one, giving the O...
The two tragic deaths in the LB core also necessitated Coach Shula reaching on LB's early in the drafts - apart from Offerdahl, he only drafted...
Which bit is gibberish, I am interested? So because my opinion is different to yours, I am wrong? Fitz came out and said that Flo called him into...
I'd rather Tua not block for the running back - how much blocking did Dan do, Joe Montana, etc? There's a difference between getting in the way...
You are right, it is pure speculation and the likes of Florio and the rest know as much as the rest of us - precisely nothing. Flo called Fitz...
Don't be ridiculous re Josh Rosen - he already had 16 games of bad tape on his resume from Arizona. We gave him a look and he didn't take the...
I was a bit skeptical but thought it was worth mentioning - some of his placement was well off in the 2nd half and the interception on the ball to...
He didn't reject RT - he was on a huge contract. Had he shown enough in 7 years to justify another year. It was time to cut Ryan loose, 7 years...
Nice to see a safety with that number being happy to play in a position closer to the LOS and not whining about it
Someone made an interesting point on Twitter, in that Fitz's decision making and accuracy seemed to be worse after he took that late hit to the...
I have, he doesn't like Coach Flores - he made that clear last year
100% How many teams running the Run & Shoot offense won the SB - I would say none.
Has Fitz been the issue the last 2 weeks - didn't realise he has been playing DL or corner
The Bungals have no-one else & Taylor went down late, which meant they had to throw Herbert in there - not even remotely the same situation....
Also, the Bengals have no-one else after getting rid of Dalton - as soon as that happened, you knew that Burrow was more than likely to start
No, an experiment is the undrafted FA DE that we had in camp & tried to turn him into a TE or Neto coming in as a DT & we are trying to turn him...
Game 1 after an acl injury and no preseason - laughable. He was a rookie FA last year, hardly an experiment
He definitely has the arm & the mobility and has been said, in good surroundings (ie having a decent oline, a good running game and coaches that...
Also, he had to go on waivers apparently, as he couldn't go automatically onto IR
He did the same against the Bills when he was the DC of the Giants to take the K-Gun offense out of the game - the Bills didn't react quickly...
Nope, he's not here, the coaches are
Not relevant, he didn't want to be here, so he's now Pittsburgh's issue
You know that's not what I was saying because even one person dying at the hands of a drunk driver is one too many. However, if you can potential...
But these only affect 1 person - you can't potentially pass on a lightening strike, a car crash or choking to multiple people, you can with COVID....
And now he's complaining that by being only used in the one position that he campaigned to play, he isn't effective because teams can scheme away...
Did I miss something - I was sure that RT had left Miami but here we are at 217 pages :smile: All I know is that he seems like a decent guy, who...
On the flip side, we signed Elandon Roberts in FA, who played FB a lot for NE - as he adds value offensively & defensively (plus likely ST's), Cox...
Perhaps it's being hand delivered Key? :smile:
Personally, I think Gaskin is the one to stick - don't see as much from Laird and Ballage is Ballage. Maybe Laird onto the practice squad if he is...
Even if it takes them time to gel, as we have better talent on the line now, it should be improved
Agree, it says to me that Flores has his eye on and his standards set for every aspect of the team. Some people may see it as a strange decision...
Would be interesting to compare how many he made though against the other LS to see if he was downfield in position more or just terrible at tackling
And there's no way it can be worse than last year
This 100%
That's a huge reach on any draft board I've seen
To be honest Key, none of them have proven that they are NFL level QB's yet, as none of them have played a down in the NFL.
Think you are thinking about a different player, as Taylor has way more fumbles than any of the other backs in the draft
It's not as if you haven't got form jumping at comments like this..................................
I'm trying to work out how teams have done such extensive pre-draft evaluations when everything is on lockdown?
I think it was the other highly rated centre (Humphrey) that went back - Cushenberry declared
I don't see how it makes any difference regardless of any QB whether it's going to hurt getting hit by a big lineman - a moving 300+lbs vs a...
Honestly, I am in the same situation as you 99 as I'm no evaluator. However, even though he likely is able to evaluate a QB's skills, he is...
Not doubting it as it has been regurgitated a million times but he won't be the first QB that got a broken nose or jammed his hand on an offensive...
So because Simms is speculating about Tua being hurt after all of these plays, we are taking his word for it that he was hurt. Riiiiiiiight
Because for 4 or 5 years, he was one of the best SS in the league but was underrated because he played for some bad teams. Considering he was a...
Several good centers in the draft - draft one plus at least 2 tackles. You've then got Rookie LT - Flowers LG - Rookie C...
Think it's likely that he spent a decent amount this year a) because we needed an infusion of talent, particularly in the areas that he got them...
Do agree Key. He wasn't helped last year by the turnstile nature at LT or the poor play at C but there are still some concerns - certainly...
Don't think they are completely sold with Dieter at LG though. Training camp will be interesting, as Dieter could find himself as the swing...
Can't go into the season with 4 backs with no more than 1 years experience - Howard is productive & good value. Need a vet in the room
I doubt he plays RG when he played and looked better at LG - why would he switch him, doesn't make sense. If he shows promise in OTA's and is...
Possible move for Dieter or Boehm to C?
Wasn't it the Jets game? Doesn't matter, as do agree that he was on borrowed time after that
Btw, gutted that Jones has gone - great player but high salary, injury history and sometime questionable attitude made this inevitable.
Wilson is an upgrade on Grant due to Grant's stone hands. As has been said, Wilson was playing better & faster in the last month after his freak...
But you could say that his supporting cast aren't 'quality' as well, whereas Hurts has had top quality supporting talent - I don't know college...
From everything I've read, that's way too high for Weaver - if they decide that Tua or Herbert are not the pick at 5 (or teams drop their trousers...
That was the other one, thought there might be one more. The majority of analyst info that I have seen seems to have them all as 2nd/3rd rounders...
Totally - think that's often the case with the interior lineman, in that they are often grabbed lower in the draft (well, other teams manage to...
Think Marino was helped by the fact that Shula basically tailored the offense to his strengths, whereas multiple coaching staffs didn't do that...
Isn't there 3 good centre prospects though (Biadaz, Hennesey & one other who's name escapes me for the moment - Ruiz?)? CK, Alf & Simon on 3YPC...
Doesn't sound like he would last that long though Key - would be ideal though
Totally agree DK re the other players having to be on the same page, as it could have backfired - the other players must have frustrated though,...
A promising safety that didn't want to play here A decent LT who wants the biggest LT contract (and possibly hasn't played up to that) A decent QB...
I've often wondered that if Ryan had had more of an alpha personality, would he have rebelled against the coaching that didn't allow him to...
Probably me with my selective/terrible memory remembering it differently - also thought that the Manning contract was a few years older by then,...
Appreciate the reply Cbrad - still feel that Cleveland had more talent in 2018 than we had in 2019 though (particularly over the first few weeks),...
Although there was a lot of evidence at the time that once the Colts realised that Manning was going to miss the year with the nerve damage and...
With the Cleveland situation, the actual core of the team wasn't bad (they had had so many early round draft picks, they had to have some talent...
Although wasn't his first OC at Arizona fired mid-year - not making too many excuses for him but that probably didn't help unless we know...
They did their job without whining about it, which meant that the defense was better at the end of the year than the start. As had been said, he...
And you don't think the 5 wins were great for the team? Not much I can say really - I like the wins and we will then see how the draft falls. I...
You could not be more wrong. This showed us (with "the worst roster in the history of the NFL") that we might finally have got something in terms...
It's just not. Did it not show us what the coaching staff was able to do with "the worst roster in the history of the NFL" (so the talking heads...
Wrong, no win is meaningless
Jeez, we weren't tanking. Just because the media and the NFL talking heads said we were, the coaching staff & the players weren't - why is that so...
He is, don't think he was active though but saw him a few times in discussion with Mahomes & Moore on the sideline - he was probably telling...
You are possibly right re the medical reports but in terms of Brees and Culpepper, you can understand why the decision was made, as the shoulder...
Agree with that, whichever they feel is the best fit, we will be 100% behind - Flores has earned some trust after this year. However, if they...
Jeez, he does NOT have a history of injuries. He had 2 high ankle sprains (which are probably the most common injury in the NFL) for which he had...
As has been mentioned, not his fault that he was thrust into the no 1 receiver role when he wasn't supposed to be and always produced when called...
Don't need exceptional players everywhere, we need the RIGHT players for the system - no more square pegs in round holes (nice to have the odd...
Actually, the plan for this season was to accumulate draft & FA capital and evaluate an entire roster & coaching staff - it was never about...
The hip is a worry but the two ELECTIVE surgeries for the high ankle sprains are not a major issue - these were to quicken up recovery and lessen...
Who gives a crap what Florio says, he's a blowhard
There was at least 2 occasions that I can remember where he made a good play by avoiding the rush to avoid a sack and then instead of scrambling...
From reading about him, the genesis of the WCO came about because of his injury, as Walsh had to modify the offense around the back-up into more...
The other team are so spread out trying to cover all of the weapons, there's probably holes that I could run through and I'm 50 & have never played
Wasn't Greg Cook the highly touted Bengals QB in 69?
That is exactly why we are going through this short term plan, otherwise we were likely stuck in that 6-9 win cycle. No idea if it will work but...
Appreciate that but what else can we do. I think Flores has a great handle on what he wants (he's done a great job on the waiver wire & raiding...
It's not similar though Hitman. From the 30for30 episode, the issue was that his hip dislocated on the tackle and when he rolled over, it slipped...
You can't keep bringing up past history, it has no bearing on this year. Grier might have had some influence but not a lot and we have a much...
If we have learned anything this year from the staff we have now, any of this type of comment can be taken with a pinch of salt because they do...
But what is the point of starting someone who clearly isn't ready to lead the team. He may well have needed the year to get his head round it,...
By not starting Fitz, we would not have been able to evaluate the entire offense. Instead, we would have been nowhere close to seeing what we had,...
Wins are not silly, the right thing to do is always play to win and then take the cards as they are dealt - that is how successful teams do it....
So everyone that was disgusted that we were trading assets to potentially lose for the number 1 pick because "Wilson/Brady/Mahomes/etc were not...
Doesn't have the arm and I haven't seen any evidence that he can make the throws that Rodgers can. Not saying that he isn't good but as someone...
You are right Res, some people are more prone. I had a DNA test with a health insurance company in the UK (just for my own knowledge, as this...
Especially as the rumours were that he wanted rid of Brisset & Garropolo, which is why both got traded. No thanks to Brady
From the 30 for 30 episode, it dislocated on the tackle and when he rolled over, it popped back into place. The Raiders medical team didn't...
My understanding was that the ankle surgeries were done to speed up the recovery and lessen the impact of future high ankle sprains - was that not...
Although Stafford was having his best statistical year before the injury and he is owed a lot of salary this year
Not correct
Proper strategy is not losing
They weren't the only team to miss out, the Ravens didn't even use their first 1st rounder on him, as they traded back up late into the 1st round...
But would you not consider it if it felt that it was a good place to play/potentially win something instead of going somewhere where the coaches...
Sorry, don't agree with all of that. I do agree with the coaching job that Flores has done & that players are playing for their jobs (it's not...
Wasn't Stills pretty much gone from the time he called out the owner though? Also, Stills was part of the old regime, so maybe he hadn't bought...
Ahhh, I got the wrong end of the stick, although I will be honest and say that I hadn't seen/thought that. As you said, we all want this to be a...
I'll be honest, I hope you are wrong as well Key :001_rolleyes: However, it wasn't just about the 2020 draft, it was a 2 year (hopefully but...
Re the previous Flores comments, I must have missed that Alex - apologies. It is interesting that you see him as overbearing, as every time you...
I'm not saying it was brilliant but you have to admit it improved as the season went on (there's no other away around the first few games of...
You wouldn't want to work for someone who wants to build a winning culture and wants to put you/the player into the best scenario. Did you not say...
But it's Flores's defensive scheme, so it's not irrelevant
Or because you have nothing positive to say about Flores? And because the defense did nothing - riiiiiiiiight. Pick 6 against Brady - no? Held...
Key, do you honestly think that all of the decisions were made by Grier alone because I highly doubt that Flores, Allen & McKenzie weren't...
It is a bit annoying that the Sentinel have decided that no-one outside the US can read their articles, although it does mean that I miss most of...
Wasn't the outburst at the end of the game? If so, no penalty would be applicable to the team and I bet the players love to see that fire from...
Ouch - contradicts what Coach Flo said as well, so interesting that the OLine coach has come out & panned him. That would have been an interesting...
What does the link say Hitman, still can't get any Sun Sentinel stuff in the UK?
But that's what I don't understand. If you agreed with his hiring, I don't understand why you now think he's a terrible coach, when he's got this...
Not sure how you have come to the conclusion that it is 'obvious' when you hear him talk - enlighten us with your wisdom please, we can't wait to...
Actually, you will find that the media tagged us with ZERO wins, that we were a disgrace to the history of the NFL and we were putting players in...
Wow, fire him now and stick this keyboard genius in charge
Probably a combination of all of them Galant. * Travis said in training camp that he was looking much stronger than before, which has probably...
And to gain picks for draft leverage & cap space - this season was not about the number 1 pick
By all accounts, Rosen is doing everything correctly behind the scenes, so we may well reap the benefit later. The other thing is, he has time on...
26 other teams also passed on him
What have you seen about his personal coaching style & personality that 'talented' players won't mesh with - I am genuinely interested? I don't...
Dolphins fans are the worst. Flores has the team playing hard, as they believe in his philosophy, we have been competitive in the recent games,...
Think we have the barebones of a system and some parts that will be on this team over the next few years. There will also be players that we will...
Ross wanted more draft picks to put us in a good position if we wanted to move up if required. He definitely didn't want the tank. He knew that we...
My take on it is that what we have been through was not solely for the purpose of the number 1 pick, it was to accumulate as many picks as...
Definitely helped Young throwing to the greatest receiver in history plus the other weapons & the running game - not doubting that he was a great...
Gutsy play call, bad execution - as has been said, X and the safety are playing too far off and then X doesn't follow his man (or do a lot) & just...
Does make you laugh really, doesn't it. Flores has a gutted roster that was blown out week one, the scheme & the players have shown improvement...
Jeff Fisher was a yard away, he's available if that's your barometer
However, the fans were all about Suck for Luck that year and because we won some games, our consolation prize was RT (which many people thought...
Also, I wondered if he jumped from the 49ers, as he knew they had nothing coming through in terms of players he had a say in drafting, so he...
However, he was the clear preseason winner at QB but Flores (whether rightly or wrongly) made the decision not to chuck him in behind a HS Oline....
If it was Jones or McCain, they had better hope any potential suitor wasn't watching yesterday, as they were poor
In terms of Flores, I just think he's showing empathy with the player - he seems like that kind of person. In terms of the rebuild, how is the...
From reading Flores back story and his journey to HC, doesn't fit his profile as someone that would be a quitter
Would you have expected him to come down hard on Stills in public then, as that creates a toxic environment and likely makes him untradeable? No....
Nope, I'm with you - we've needed to be taken down by a wrecking ball and then rebuilt for so long, that although we likely won't win many, there...
If we are in a position to take Tua, we have to - a lot could happen in two years, TL could get a bad injury, lose interest in the game. If we...
I must have missed the memo that Orchard was the next Lawrence Taylor. Patrick Graham must know what Crawford brings to the table, as he was the...
Also, it goes back to the Patriots mantra, if you can't do your job, you can't work within the scheme and you can't get on the field due to...
That isn't quite true though, as they have taken a lot of duds over the last 20 years - their QB drafting has been worse than ours. Just in the...
Think the rest of the Colts roster is too good for them to tank - good offensive weapons, vastly improved OL, great young D plus Brissett is...
CK, is that pretty much what RT would do as well?
Actually, you are right there - did listen to that one & the Andre Hawk one once but don't have those saved
Have got them all saved to my phone on Spotify, so I can listen to them whenever I want to - hasn't been a bad episode & have been looking forward...
How many 'fans' were complaining when we didn't draft other QB's to challenge RT and now are complaining that he's a bust because he's learning...
Up in NE, White doesn't play as much as the main running back but is the do-it-all complementary piece to Michel's sledgehammer - Ballage is more...
Exactly. How often last year did we all complain that Burke was in over his head as Def Coordinator and we wanted him replaced but Gase left him...
Don't understand why it is unique - we aren't the only team doing it, are we? Also, it's within the ruling - I bet it wouldn't be 'unique' if...
And threw a TD pass, so must have had a perfect QB rating :tongue:
I've never played the game Key but can see that OL is the major unit that needs chemistry & solidity - when we had that 10 game stretch in 2016...
Also not just want to be led but in most situations need to be led - this & the requirement for discipline is why good teams continue to be good...
Me too DJ, just excited waiting to see some football again
There is a difference though between treating them badly and not being super comfortable in front of the media - you can see that Flores is not...
It's about spending it wisely & in the right areas as opposed to blowing it on a shiny new trinket - it's what we have done in the past &...
Bit of a worry that people are looking at his media work and wanting to be impressed - that means nothing on the practice field or game day. I am...
Likeable coaches don't always get the right results though - doesn't hurt NE
Personally, if he gets the team playing hard, successful football, I couldn't care what he's like with the press. If he's Belicheck Pt 2 in the...
Absolutely, this is why we must have led the league in 3 & outs last year
Kind of agree with both points of view. Splash plays do make it exciting but would rather that they were the rarity because we have ground the...
Probably because he wasn't a loudmouth showoff - sad when someone who was drafted on day 3 with no hoopla and worked/studied his arse off to be...
Didn't know that either - makes 2020 & 21 very interesting
Do agree that we should spend some of the savings if required but we would have to say that Ross hasn't been shy in opening his wallet previously...
I'm excited for the season as well, just looking at improvements in game plans, motivation, scheme & morale would be a start
Hopefully, we will see some decent game plans and not just relying on splash plays to stay in the game - maybe some opening drive points, as I...
You do wonder if the new coaching staff may have been able to help him get on the field
Agree, that sucks - hopefully him & his partner can eventually find some peace from this (I don't have any kids but even I can't see how any...
Do agree with you Key on a few of these points - you certainly need 7-8 decent players on the line and on paper, there are 2, maybe 3 but the NE...
Also why we have tended to only pick up the expensive FA's as well, as we have had to overpay someone looking for their last big payday
Hopefully he has learned his lesson on that comment 99 - we haven't managed it for 10 years (apart from 2016) and even then, it wasn't a full...
Problem was, it wasn't a sustainable vehicle - if you have to pop into every garage on your journey every 3 plays, it'll take you longer to get...
And we still have 4 months until the season starts Key - lets see where we are by the 3rd preseason game. Some of those parts needed to be...
We only got one game out of Sitton for the very large contract and hasn't he now retired? Also, although James was a good player, he was not...
Serious question Key, do you think the contracts that Tannebaum gave to the players that have been stripped from the roster were worth the money...
Serious question (having never played the game) - could RT not have said "screw it" when he got to the line and saw that the defense was wrong for...
Agree with this Key - how many people on this board have moaned that the Fins didn't draft any other QB's in the last 7 years to push RT but when...
That is what I thought - sure I read somewhere that Reed is better at RG, which makes sense for the pick of Dieter, if his best position is LG....
That makes sense, although I think that Davis must have played at RT a few times, as Travis on LOD had some film of him there (which he was...
:laughy:
I have a Czonka throwback jersey :smile:
If I mention it was a 7th rounder, will you explode Puka :smile:
There's a reason that they are reporters & not coaches/scouts - they know nothing
Is Cajuste more of a OT or G? I'm wondering if they went with Dieter, as they wanted a LG as they feel that Jesse Davis is better suited as a...
Also, Baker was on a much more talented team than Rosen last year (once Jackson was shown the door). Baker looks the better player but that's the...
Think it's a great move tbh - cheap & a decent pick next year. Also, as has been said previously, there is still no guarantee that Tua comes out...
Dan with a defence, a running game, Walsh's mind & Jerry Rice to throw to - throw in a fat guy & you have Christmas!
Wow, great fans on this thread - I assume you all realize that only 53 are the full squad, so even if we only add 4 decent draft picks & 2 or 3...
Much more accomplished evaluators than me have said that's a massive reach - at 13, we need the best DE available (unless one of the Devon's fall)
Think he missed the majority of the season - I want to say MCL injury - then came back late in the season. As Carmen said, great special teams...
As has been already mentioned on the thread, he hasn't played for 3 years and in that last year, wasn't really lighting it up. I know that Key has...
That is probably the one caveat 99, do we have that in the building. I am hopeful that Grier is the person that has been involved over the last...
I can't believe that people really think that a professional sports outfit would intentionally go out to tank. Strip away the expensive parts that...
Also means that we never have to see Gesicki 'blocking' and we will use his strengths instead
It's about finding out what your young players have to offer and what drive these low cost FA's still have to offer on the team. Building a solid...
Also, you have to factor in that all these players have agents in their ears telling them that player X is worth this and you are better than him,...
What are the chances that he would have taken a team friendly deal at that point though, particularly with his agent likely telling him what he...
Also, isn't Butler still on the roster, as he had the body type to replace Parker?
Not Landry, as he priced himself out of Miami - not remotely worth what the Browns paid him.
I think Kyle does some stuff on Phinsider Radio? Agree re Travis though, always great content on LOD
Wasn't it a case that he didn't want to return after being passed over for the HC position, not that the Fins didn't want to keep him?
Lots of bad calls/decision in the last few minutes of the NO/LA game and not just by the officials. Thought McVay had blown it by not going for...
The team on the 3 Yards Per Carry podcast mentioned it weeks ago - no DC was named but the source they quoted did back up the 'Ross didn't want to...
80's Redskins - weren't called the Smurfs for nothing
Seems to be some negatives about his arm strength?
They have got a lot of good young talent, partly because they have had a lot of top 5 draft picks for about the last 20 years
Admittedly, he was excellent in the SB but after taking over from Wentz, he had several games where he was bailed out by his teammates due to poor...
This is the scenario I want to see please? We just need to get some starters back & we can roll on - however, if RT is not coming back this year,...
Even Cam hinted that players haven't been doing their job within the scheme, so Burke did have to shake it up by fitting round pegs in round...
We all love Jones but sometimes, something doesn't work - I still don't understand why putting the right players into a system that worked is a...
He's a first year player - we won't be looking at his second contract for at least 3 years and who gives a s$*t about stats - it's a team game and...
Absolutely, Pouncey wouldn't take a pay cut to help the team, Landry priced himself out of Miami, Suh wouldn't consider a pay cut to help the team...
That's a bit sad though, isn't it - if the Fins fans had been well up for it & vocally behind them, that could have inspired the team to new...
This is where you find out if your practice squad players are worth keeping, otherwise what's the point of continuing to develop them
Agree with your last comment CC but wouldn't the first playoff game in several years mean that fans should be excited to see playoff football,...
Just out of interest Red, who would be your top 5 - I know that you said that Unitas was no 1?
The interesting thing is listening to current QB's talking about Marino and how he was the number 1 in terms of production & his ability- he would...
God, that brings back horrible nightmares - 1st quarter looked good but the defense just didn't turn up for the last 3
Are there any good 1st round caliber QB's coming out this year DM?
Not the same, Harris & Tank have only been here just over a year & McMillan has played 4 regular season games - Phillips has played a lot more...
I've enjoyed reading the last page & a half of this thread, as being in the UK and never having played the game, I am learning interesting little...
The issue we have is that all we have on the roster is young DT's, so after shifting out Wright, probably a good move in getting another mentor...
Hoping that he will wear the brace for games though, particularly as it's his planted foot leg, so would be the one to take any contact (as per...
Also, Fox have listed Brock Osweiler as an important addition - shows how much they know
Agree with that. Also, Shula, Landry & Noll got run out of their jobs by not changing their style of coaching that worked in the 70's. Belicheck...
Would be interesting to see if it is the same old Bears though, as they have historically been tight with contract negotiations
He's got a chance to learn off one of the best though - if Gore can't teach him, no-one can.
I'm from the UK Hoops, so have never played & know nothing about the subtleties of the game - it probably has a proper name but couldn't think...
Haven't seen any film on Gesicki's blocking or how bad it is but a) it can't be worse than Julius Thomas (particularly at a fraction of the cost)...
Take the negative comments, stick them on the team meeting room walls and start & end each meeting with "this is what they think of you, go &...
Marino was the master at evading the rush with subtle movements in the pocket - not easy to learn if you don't have that 6th sense. If the line is...
Not sure how Pouncey could ever be a leader when he either consistently missed half of the season or doesn't take any practice snaps throughout...
So it's RT's fault that we wouldn't pay $15mill a year for Juice - I know that he's not the second coming of Marino but jeez, he can do nothing right
Similar in the UK with football/soccer, when you have kids of 19 getting contracts at £50k a week who are only reserves (and then they wonder why...
Just have to look at our own Dan Marino in terms of moving around the pocket to buy time - no one better than that for someone with limited...
Jeez, that's a depressing list - Jamar Fletcher!?! Brees should have been top 5 looking at that list
Going back to the Denver possibility, have they completely abandoned the Paxton Lynch experiment? Haven't seen anything of him to know if he was...
I think teams are intrigued with Watkin's size/speed and they probably wanted to give Mahomes another big body alongside the TE - they also love...
Also, the majority of KC's game plan was around the TE (Kelce?), QB keepers with Smith, end arounds/short throws to Hill & the rookie RB - their...
We are also able to pick Amendola's brains regarding the Pats systems - appreciate that they will probably change a lot when we play them but...
Ogletree wasn't getting a lot of love from Rams fans on Twitter last night - it could be sour grapes after him going but anyone know how he graded...
That is interesting then :smile:
Also would hope that Adam Gase/the new OC pays some attention to some of original/innovative playcalling as well, the Eagles particularly mixed it...
Simon, I think the Jags took over the Rams 5 year commitment after the 1st year - St Louis had originally signed up for this & played 1 game but...
So neither of our starting S's, two young corners, Jenkins & Alonso playing with one hand (and Jenkins about to be let go), and two DE's who's...
Also, Albert let the same rusher have a clear path to Moore twice when we were in good scoring positions, resulting in sack fumbles. Apart from...
Any good potential free safety's declaring for the draft - this would then allow us to use McDonald in this role?
Especially as the knock on him coming out was that he wasn't very bright - he enjoyed sticking it to the teams that passed on him!
Also, he's nursing a knee injury, which would certainly limit your pass rushing - Parker, take note, he's still playing & playing to a high level
Also, would it really kill them not to constantly introduce him as the ex-A&M receiver - he's played at QB longer than he has as a receiver. I...
The main argument is that we had one of the greatest QB's of all time and because the supporting cast wasn't good enough, he didn't earn a ring....
He's also got that fire to be the best (especially considering all the crap he took when he took over from Favre) & elevates the play of everyone...
Also, both Wentz & Watson have had the same injuries that RT has had - how do we know that they will come back at the same level. RG3 had a...
That's still a fair amount to give up though, particularly the 1st next year, as we still have holes to fill with talent. Totally agree that we...
Sorry Key, should have clarified that the bit of luck we had was Gronk being out for the game - certainly there was no luck with the result & the...
Agree that it's a bit early for playoff hype and part complacency of the FO. However, they did try & plug some of the holes in the offseason...
I don't think anyone is proclaiming us to be a good team yet Dirty. Are we still the same team that lost 4 straight - yes. However, have the...
Fin, think the Thomas that DL was referring to is Julius Thomas. It is possible that Pouncey and Thomas are gone, with James likely as well...
That Nat Moore helicopter catch in 84 is the first one I vaguely remember watching on Ch4 highlights in the UK as well. English football was in...
Both are highly experienced QB's though, if they decided to audible away from it, surely Gase wouldn't throw them under the bus if it worked...
Totally agree with that re giving him some snaps at the end of the game - what's the worst that can happen.
Not been value for money over the last month. However, he's not the only one currently - offseason will be interesting to say the least, do you...
DL, is it more of a case of trying not to lose instead of trying to win, so defence goes conservative?
