  1. I like Spiller a lot, but he has to be much more consistent. He fumble balls at crucial moments. Imagine if he doesn't pick that ball up last year in the endzone vs the Pats. Not the greatest route runner. With decent hands. He gets stopped at the line 3 out of 4 times, then breaks 1 for 20 yards here and there. His average turns out to be padded because of it. I think he did a lot of great things for us yesterday, but when it is 27-7 at the half, some of those rushing yards are inflated with a softer defense. We are fine with Spiller at the helm if we need him, he is nowhere near elite or game changing at this point in his career.
  2. we should be ok. spiller is a drive killer at times. gaining 0 3 runs in a row then bouncing one for 20. hopefully he can put it together for a few weeks
  3. WOW! 3 of those could be brought up in conversation for some of the top 5 of all time, if not better. Where does old Jimbo fall on that list of current QB's
  4. Marg Levy is a better leader of men than anything else.
  5. I don't want to be "that guy" but a good offense/the pats would have put up a minimum of 15 points with this field position. This is a huge problem. I know it's preseason I am consoling myself. This is the first time I have been seriously worried
  6. -Steve Johnson is not on the same page as...well...everybody. -We need to run the ball more -I would also like to see more of those underneath routes like we just saw Hagan get on 3rd and 10...just not on 3rd down. -Fitz looked good in the 1st. He's done nothing but misfire since. The fact that we are dominating field position and not getting ANY field goals and 1 TD is on the offense.
  7. Steve Johnson is not on the page with the rest of the offense
  8. i miss Empire. I would kill for Buffalo sports network that is Andrew Peters and Rob Ray, or YNN
  9. I would trade my next 2 drafts for the 2nd overall and I would take robo punter and robo kicker with the first 2 picks
  10. I don't understand the knee and thigh pad thing. When I heard equiptment change I thought concussion helmet. Especially given the climate of the league currently. I think it is a waste of time to talk about knee pads at the owners meeting. It's as if the current state of affairs in the nfl doesn't exist
  11. Howard Stern seems to do it regularly and he just keeps getting more work
  12. He is really slow. His 40 was 5.1 or something like that. Gailey likes a more mobile qb
  13. Yup because every highschool has 3 stock car racing teams. And kids go to the park and race Toyota Camry's. These aren't similar. Would you let you 14 year old jump in a car with a restricter plate that tops it off at 150 and in the passenger seat is a guy holding his leg to the floor. It's ok there is a cage. I would however let my hs kid play football. I don't think the ge moves fast enough to create the issues we see in the NCAA or NFL This^^^^^^ Also I foresee state regulations at some point. Ie no organized football at Massachusetts public schools unti jr year or no organized football in the state until x age. The economics of the game at an early age will dwindle. Insurance companies stop insuring schools. A few generations go by and boom. No more nfl Again I would let my kid play ball. I am also a really Aerbobic athlete so soccer running and other fitness sports are my interest. I assume my kids will eventually be similar.
  14. Go to wrestling head gear. Eliminate the shoulder pads. Substitute something like the under armor you wear under hockey pads. Watch the injuries dissipate. I agree it may not be in my generation but my great grand kids most likely won't see the nfl. It will be sad but it is the reality of the situation
  15. Good he was maybe the worst corner on the team
  16. This is beyond an abridged version. He said that some things happened earlier in the draft that changed their board a bit. They had been eyeing Angerer, and liked him a lot. They had traded away their 4th earlier, and weren't sure if he would still be there by the time they picked in the 5th. So voila, you have the pick. They also tried ardently to get out of their pick in the 3rd and find another one, or get their 4th back, but couldn't, they where running out of time. Mularky mention he really got his start in the league and made a career at being a special teams coach. It is something he won't put by the wayside, and is making it his point to make the special teams in JAX one of the premier units in the league. They need to win field position given the large question mark at QB.
  17. nfl radio on sirius is pretty solid
  18. There are up to 5 db's on the field every play. So Williams and Gilmore fill 2 of those spots. The ultimate goal is to keep Florence off.
  19. My first thought is they possibly like a qb in this draft. They may package their 2 1sts and just be looking to get a return from mallet as well as that pick back. Do they like tannehill? Also they could hope Miami bites. Just pushing them further into the basement
  20. It is because of the 14 Thursday night games. Sunday ticket is Sunday ges only. No prime time. When I lived out of town I didnt have nfl network an still couldn't see the games. I was furious. Sunday loses 14 games now.
  21. Under estimating the rams and Denver with Peyton. Those 2 games go either way. Suddenly we are at 8-8
  22. He'll draw double coverage, making the rest of the receiving corp pro bowlers and lee a first ballot hofer
  23. I think that eventually kickers will start to adapt and it becomes more dangerous. Kickers learn to boot the ball 10 yards higher and 5 yards shorter. Basically rendering the returner a sitting duck.
