Well, Brandon Marshall had his say on the events. @BrianCoz Marshall: "Did he point his finger in his face? No he didn't." on Geno and IK. Marshall says he witnessed incident. #nyj https://twitter.com/BrianCoz/status/633276457897345024 @BrianCoz 1h1 hour ago Brandon Marshall on Mike and Mike: "Geno Smith did nothing wrong on that day." Says Geno did not point his finger in IK's face. #nyj https://twitter.com/BrianCoz/status/633274832986181632

I think the one thing that's stopping me from being convinced is that he did it against a team that wasn't game planning for him. As I said on Friday night, Tyrod is built for the preseason. It's easy to beat a fairly vanilla defense that isn't spying him. Not trying to take everything away from him, just applying regular season context to it. Using another Roman QB, look at how Kaepernick struggled in the pocket once they knew his habits and how to contain him. It's very rare that a mobile and elusive QB can sustain success at this level without a high level of passing talent. Not saying it's impossible but the Tyrod that exists now might not be allowed to exist come Week 1.

When I was trawling through his Ravens preseason games, it became apparent that he got smarter on a conceptual level every year. Certainly gives him every chance of being able to digest a large playbook. I'm not convinced yet and likely won't be over the course of the next 2-3 games but it's easier to get on board with him now that we have an OC that knows how to utilise a mobile QB. I'll still slap anyone that compares him to Russell Wilson though!

I said he was a homer, not an idiot. I've followed him on Twitter for a while and he doesn't hide who he wants to win the job.

If the entire body of work is done by one person with the same bias, at least his bias is consistent. If you feel so strongly about it, you could always chart every throw by every QB for yourself.

There's nothing quite like a story like this and the absurd reactions to it that make me thankful I'm not American. Y'all are nuts.

Still a good read regardless but Cian has been notoriously anti-EJ (almost to the point of being a broken record). I think Cian's Irish eyes are covered by slightly rose-tinted lenses.

Cian has been waiting months to write this. He's not shy in admitting that he's a huge Tyrod homer.

There's reports of times as fast as 4.23 out there as well. No doubt he's quick, the need to quantify exactly how quick is almost a moot point. I'd be tempted to say that he's battling Goodwin more than Hogan because of the stylistic similarities between them. I went into TC thinking Hogan was a lock for the backup slot & ST role and I still think that's the case unless there's a dramatic swing in the next 2/3 games.

When I was going through Tyrod's preseason games with the Ravens, he showed up pretty well (mainly as a return man). There's certainly something there worth getting a deeper look at with him. There's a couple of spots that are potentially up for grabs but someone will have to earn them away from Goodwin/Hogan.

He was getting off a lot of quick short passes because he had 5 turnstiles in front of him. I've already said that the deep passes were poor but the NFL is a short/intermediate game. He was efficient in the areas he needed to be. For a 2nd year backup with little experience, he did a decent job.

Are we sure this isn't just wishful thinking?

Jimmy wasn't that bad. INT was poor placement, the deep balls need a lot of work but he did a lot of the simple stuff pretty efficiently. Josh Boyce seemed to be the biggest problem they had. 2 catches on 11 targets and he dropped more than his fair share of them.

Remember what they did to Kendall Gaskins?

You can watch 3 of his college games here - http://draftbreakdown.com/players/ik-enemkpali/ He's ultra stiff and routinely last man off the snap. Strong as an ox when his technique is correct.

I told people that Incognito would create a bullying culture.

Very happy with the deal. Seems to be a culture developing on that side of the ball where everyone wants in. Robey/Hughes could've got more elsewhere, I'm sure. Mario seems to be open to a restructure. Hopefully Dareus has a similar inclination.

Don't badmouth Danny Kanell, he searches for his name on Twitter.

Grant Hedrick completed 70.2% of his passes at Boise State. Sign him up!

I don't know that he's the worst 1st round pick. At least he showed something in college that vaguely resembled an NFL player of some fashion. Not sure the same is said of Aaron Maybin.

There's been quite a few stories over the years that seem to suggest that he's not very easy to like. This won't help his cause for a second contract. It's really quite sad. Enemkpali is a massive idiot but it looks like he had grounds to be frustrated. Not sure how many teams go near a player that went after one of his own.

Imagine knowing you threw away a promising career over a $600 plane ticket.

If Bryce Petty becomes a viable NFL QB, I'll eat my boxers. Enemkpali issued an apology:

I hadn't even thought about it from that point of view.

It's a rarity that it's this bad. Passion and frustration is more understandable, perhaps even admirable in certain cases.
