Thats the thing- DE is maybe second to QB on guys getting overdrafted. Anyone outside the top 15-20 picks isn’t likely an instant impact. Doesn’t mean he won’t develop but to fall that far is meaningful. You get quick impact RBs there, not pass rushers typically.

it’s a fine play design. It’s an awful call on the context of it being a huge moment and a backup RT

if you are courting the international audience, he’s absolutely massive I think the nfl believes they have already cornered the football super fan market and we are not the primary concern with regards to growing Super Bowl engagement

I guess my phrasing was poor but to the point that I don’t think our 31 is of any real noteworthy difference to the Texans 26. I didn’t watch every game to catch whether struggles to get to 25 vs taking the foot of the gas but I suspect our last field goal didn’t mean we were terribly more accomplished than if we set the threshold at a number in the 20s or substantially worse than if the thread argued we failed by not crossing 32. my point simply being that it isn’t like scoring 30 is driving away from the pack. Half the league is 25+ so far this week

a) I’m not sure that’s your 4th and inches play ever but especially with a backup pulling. b) of course you cater playcalling to who is on the field

I’m not sure you realize this but they too were missing starters on the o line and d line

I mean, is it that he tripped on his pull or that he was even asked to pull on 4th and inches?

30 is not a remarkable feat. Basically every winning team that’s not the giants was at worst within one scoring drive of it

and on the bright side, we only have to get like 1 tackle on less than half our plays many weeks. Practically a niche skill set.

yea, probably 100% healthy at the end of the season

yes and no? Kamara is just getting A LOT more of his touches as screens and swing passes instead of handoffs.

Mcvay is wild. He could tell you the 12th play of the third quarter of week 4 in 2017. The players involved, exact play call and outcome. He also is very smart with forcing tells with formations and motion this feels like the meathead complaining the smart kid has better grades

rice will be back from suspension but I think many neglecting it’s also a return from injury. I’m not sure we see a fully 100% explosive version of him.

No joke, just bumped into him at the airport and they gave his rental car away. I presume he ubered to his hotel after but if you see the man walking, try and help him out.

yea - that’s kind of the impression I had. I’ll probably be getting the family out the door at like 8-830 if they are the humans I believe they are just coming from the downtown Airbnb but sounds like parking elsewhere and strolling that direction

I do often wonder if the over/under throw factor is the wide receivers in play not doing him favors in tracking and adjusting routes etc…

Texans here- looking for the worst team in comfortable with not the obvious blowout. At home, vs a bad team, back against the wall. Demeco vs a rookie qb.

he’s always been a handful to manage. that said, if managing him for a few months - and you let him play - I do imagine he’d like it here and give the defense a little more spunk

I’m all for those two playing each other in the wildcard round. I guess chiefs losing helps support that happening? chargers with a solid 3 game lead in the division would feel like chiefs going on the road out of the gate in the playoffs.

I’m 19-1 since the start of last season… my one loss of course the browns early last year. Just too volatile a team to bank on today I picked against a terrible saints team traveling all the way to Seattle. When else was I going to use Seattle?

When he was in the transfer portal everyone wanted him. Now….

Bummed I can’t set up parking in advance. Traveling with the family and suspect we might not be out the door at the crack of dawn. how early does hammer normally hit capacity for a 1pm game these days?

Thats absolutely not a misunderstanding for us. Was all good with the strategy in the first half. we absolutely needed a play downfield in the second half and it was a matter of lack of skill outside- that’s noteworthy.

nailed it. holding two truths here is the nature of the discussion.

almost always most teams are down someone…. And it’s become hard to say we are down Milano as a starter at this point
