  1. Much rather Nix than Burrow & Co so no complaints. But under Payton's tutelage Nix plays within himself and the system. He is also a little older than most rook QBs and seems more mature and composed. He can run to daylight when the opportunity arises and he has weapons in the passing game. I liked Mims a lot when drafted and he has come along nicely. Sutton is top shelf both as a deep threat and possession receiver. Javonte Williams has perhaps not overall lived up to his pre-draft billing but he is capable of a good game (eg versus Raiders), is a reliable checkdown option and is good in pass pro. And their D is nasty. I'm sure McD has a good idea of what the Broncos will try to do on O and what needs to be done to stop them. They are not unpredictable though and that is probably a reflection of Nix's limitations. He is a rook after all. It will be up to the D to execute. If they don't it will be a close game imo.
  2. He is great at nothing but he's pretty much good at everything. I saw his interview with Chris Long which I think dates back to training camp. He comes across as an intelligent man. Seems to translate into excellent situational awareness on the football field.
  3. If you go back my main point is actually that in this case it's a nothing burger. Contrary to some I do however think it merits brief discussion because in football this kind of thing can be a problem where the receiver is a diva and the QB a hardass. Keon's a good kid, not a diva, and Josh is no hardass.
  4. So we have seen Josh Allen's ball placement consistently take advantage of Keon's particular physical attributes. So he must have forgotten on this occasion and needed to be reminded. Got it.
  5. Trust me. Josh knows exactly where the pass is supposed to be.
  6. Josh knows where the pass is supposed to be. He doesn't need rookie Coleman to tell him.
  7. I agree with the OP although I don't think it's as serious as he seems to think. And I like Keon a lot, both as a player and a teammate. One reason why it's not serious is because Allen, though a huge baller, is very much a laid back guy. A genuinely nice guy. Not all HoF worthyQBs are like that. Favre or Rodger's in his prime might have kicked his ass so hard he'd fly back to Florida without a plane. Had he been playing with guys like that he probably would have known better than to do it. Actually his being so loose is an indication of the chemistry these two are cooking up. That's the important thing.
  8. If I thought Worthy was the next DeSean Jackson I would trade Coleman for Worthy. But he is not that guy imo. He is more than a gadget and If he avoids injury he should have a decent career used properly and in the right scheme. He landed in a good spot. Coleman sort of reminds me of James Cook. When I watched James last couple of years my feeling was sometimes of frustration. Frustration because it seemed that he was often just a half step or one block away from taking it to the house. This year it's happening as he establishes himself as one of the top breakaway backs in the league. Coleman's growing pains can also be frustrating. He is as raw as red meat and has yet to acclimate to the pro game. But I've got this feeling that there are three and four touchdown games in his future and not all of them red zone either. He almost had three tds today. The long one was a beauty that was stolen by the refs. And while I did not appreciate his gesture, there is little doubt that if Josh's pass had been a foot or two higher, it would have resulted in another td. Coleman is going to develop into a very good player. I would not trade him for Worthy. Coleman can't separate lol.
  9. Always loved Earnie. Heavy hitter. RIP.
  10. I wanted to see more of Shavers. He may be a good one under the radar.
  11. Really a 2 TD day for him. Not too shabby.
  12. That's a ball you body catch imo.
  13. Everybody eats. Except Cooper lol. Actually I strongly suspect this is the plan for now.
  14. Kid is going to be good. Trust me.
  15. I thought he'd be like a Brock Bowers. He's not. Good player though.
  16. He is going to get paid big time. Can we afford him?
  17. There is a better way. And I'm sure Josh had it figured out anyway.
  18. Having now seen him on an nfl playing field I'm very happy with the Coleman pick. He wins. He's going to be a very good player and a difference maker imo. He doesn't separate? People say Boldin didn't separate, except he did. He just didn't need to separate as much as lesser WRs. When he could no longer separate his career was over. As for Worthy, whoever thought that Andy and the Chiefs would go for a WR who wasn't good at catching a friggen football. He too is likely to become a very good weapon, if he isn't already.
