Yolo brought up a good point earlier too. That happened mid-game. This time we know Dareus will be out so we can game plan.

I thought at the beginning of TC that they would all be mediocre, and no oone would separate. Now at the end they have all played well, and no one has separated. I have been pleasantly surprised, but I really just want a TD from the first team offense now.

I was thinking a throw behind his head that he had to adjust and lean back for. It can be both catchable and inaccurate.

Thanks for the response. I was just having trouble figuring some of your logic out, but that explains the trouble I was having. Also wouldn't say I'm BF4E's friend.

What I saw from Thigpen at RB against Cleveland did not inspire any confidence. I don't think he would serviceable. I think 1 FB and 4 RBs is necessary, and while he is our best punt returner, I think it is wiser to replace Thigpen at PR then try to put Thigpen at RB for any amount of time.

Too hard to do with the roster limits. I think one would have to be inactive on game day.

Who said Rex liked Rocky Road in another thread. Misinformed Idiots!!!!

I guess I could get on board with the first. But that's about the only conceivable package I can think of.

looks like TT is the second QB in with the 1s

How long before this becomes a QB thread? Under: Corey Graham Over: Harvin (over paid at least)

Can you remind me your stance on what you would like the FO to do with EJ? I still have some logic issues with trying to determine if EJ will be "decent"

He looks like two large men that ate a child. Sheesh nice pick up during TC IMO.

I think a lot of us get it. We just can't stop talking about EJ. OMG did you see what he was wearing at the mall the other day!!!! On a serous note, because a lot of us are pleased by our QB situation we are happy with any of them starting.

You're right the pass reads are quicker, and scrambling won't provide too much benefit. However, his feet would be powerful in a designed run (particularly a read option or boot leg). This would make the team more efficient in the RZ. I don't want to be bottom 5 in RZ efficiency again; I don't care how it gets done.

Good to know and thanks for the stats. I guess he has struggle through the air...? To me his elusiveness is a big element in the RZ. I think our RZ efficiency is an important place to focus because we should be getting short fields with our D and won't have too many possessions with our ground and pound. I will keep a closer eye on his performance in the RZ the next couple of games.

Could've sworn I saw a replay last night from behind the defense that pretty clearly showed a PBU. I thought it was a good try on 3rd and long. I guess we can chalk it up to some of EJ's struggles with throws on the runs.

Don't have his stats in front of me but I do know of the 4 drives he has led into the red zone we have had 2 TDs. I wouldn't say he struggling unless he puts up another 0-2+ night.

I think KtD identified the one peter was talking about. EJ got flushed and threw down the middle of the field (I think Gruden called it triple coverage, though I didn't see it). Replay showed DB got a hand on it. On the above play I wasn't sure if it was a communication error or what. The outside is where I think the ball should be because the defender seems to have inside leverage.

We're sure too because Rex said it in his presser.

I actually am starting to visualize how a poor outing for TT or MC could be handed to EJ in the second half or 4th quarter. Assuming its close cause the defense has played well; let EJ have a drive or two to win the game if TT or MC play a terrible game. Some one said like a relief pitcher in another thread. First time I've really thought it could be doable. Probably still a bit too outlandish.

Pretty easy to leak counter information that the other two will start to throw shade against the correct "leaked" info. Would expect if they want to keep the identity of the starter classified they would do some subterfuge.

Speaking as a member of the Anyone but Cassel club, I am worried Cassel will look very much like what we had last year from Orton and EJ; always trying not to screw up. Also after watching Fitz struggle because of his lack of arm strength, I think Cassel could struggle if the box gets crowded. That being said I am comfortable with him starting; I would just like to see one of the young guys because I think either would make a couple of plays a game (EJ through the air on a deep strike; TT on the ground) while still moving the chains on the short routes (Cassel's strength).

I honestly don't even wanna think about it. I think Hogan and Goodwin are both good. I don't think Thigpen can be kept because he doesn't bring much as WR and we have plenty of return men.

On the topic of our deep WR corps. I agree Davis has a chance to make team, Thompson also looks really good. Lewis looks to be danger. I guess Whaley took notes on WR evaluation while in Pittsburgh.

The Browns had one sustained drive against the 1's. I know the Browns aren't going to light anyone up, but 3 points per half should be considered a W for the D.
