Do we want ball first?

I wonder how much Rex being familiar with many of these players at the next level plays in. Sure, all coaches have tape to watch, but you would think after coaching them he may know things like if a DT has a slow first step one way or another or if a certain LB struggles with dropping in coverage on the weak side. Small weaknesses, perhaps even that he schemed to cover up when there, may become opportunities when coaching from the other side of the field.

Fans have been saying this for the last 12 months. Nice to see Sammy say it's since he actually has a voice with the team. Hopefully they listen.

I think I won! McCoy up the middle for four!

Shady up the middle for 4 24 first downs Side note: I would like to see us run pitch plays more often with Shady

PERFECT pass

Was in Ocho Rios about a month ago. Lots of rum was more mandatory than optional haha.

Darby!

Thank you holding!

Homebrew! Always a good way to start!

Defense and a three and out to set the tone.

Nice! I'm in Fort Collins, but get down to Colorado Springs a couple times a year. It'd be worth the extra drive out to Divide. What's the name of the bar? Wearing my Manuel jersey but I'm on the Tyrod train. Let's go boys!!!!

Superbowl picks on CBS pregame show. Someone picked Seattle and Buffalo, didn't see who it was though.

I always try to get a Genny when I'm back that way, simply for nastolgic reasons! I'm in Colorado now and can't find it here, so have to take advantage when possible. There are some craft breweries making some good cream ales these days though.

What's everyone settling into kickoff with, in regards to beer? I have a Southern Tier Pumking to kick it off, then a nice Duck Rabbit Milk Stout.

Overly optimistic about on-field performance, as always, but here we go; 20/25 - 233 yards - 2 TD's (1 to Sammy and 1 to Clay) 76 yards rushing - 1 TD 1 fumble, 0 fumbles lost Bills win 38-17

Houston 12-4

Taylor was electric again but for the third week in a row I saw EJ make top tier, NFL caliber throws, that I still don't believe TT or Cassel can make. Perhaps they CAN, but they haven't. Meanwhile EJ has demonstrated he can and has made the same/similar throws to what the other two are making. I'd accept and support TT as the starter, but definitely strongly pulling for EJ. If Cassell starts I'll just be straight up ticked off.

Are you thinking....or does this sound delicious to you?

Here's to hoping EJ ends up with numbers somewhat like this; 1st Drive - 4/4, 45 yards passing, 0 rushing yards, Carpenter FG 2nd Drive - 5/6, 55 yards passsing, 8 rushing yards, 23 yard TD pass to Thompson 3rd Drive - 5/7, 50 yards passing, 12 rushing yards, 12 yard TD run by EJ As he exits, he has a final line of 14/17, 150 yards passing, 20 rushing yards, 2 TDs (1 rushing) Would this win him the job?

I always try to use the names of the players on my team and create something fun. For example, two years ago I had Matthew Stafford and Stevie Johnson on my team, so I went with Staff Infected Johnson.

Not sure if this was already mentioned in the thread, but a couple of days ago Rex stated he expects Hogan to be back for week 1. To me, that seemed to indicate Hogan was locked into the opening day roster.

Week 3 against the Chargers, EJ was 23/39 for 238 and a TD. He took 3 sacks and fumbled once, but did not lost that fumble. He also ran 5 times for 24 yards. Please, help me understand how he was "responsible" for the SD loss.

It's actually more so that Marrone did not know what he was doing. If he had, he would have played EJ and the team would have likely won more games than they did with Orton. With a competent coach, he would have played all of last season.

I'm not saying everyone with size and strength makes a good QB, but I think we can agree those are desirable qualities for QB. And yes, based on what I see from EJ right now, even as a UDFA, I would want him to be starting.
