  1. I'm not sold on Mills at all. Henderson is not going to play and Kuoandijio is a stiff. We have 1 tackle on the roster that I have confidence in. Re: Brown, Rex was quoted the other day in the snooze. "You know, I’d like to see him get a little dirtier on the goal line and stuff like that, but he is a real talented kid." That's a barely veiled calling of someone soft. Aaron Williams is a question mark for the rest of his career and it's very early to take a victory lap on him being "back". Re: corners, we had the same 2 good corners last season. My concerns are about not being better than we were. CB in general is a strength but if your nickel back and safeties are weak and your ILB is Brandon Spikes who cant cover a lawn chair there's not much reason to throw outside.
  2. You're right, there are, and typically this is the time of year where I talk myself into believing them I'm having a really hard time getting there and the run of bad luck/stupidity to start the year hasn't helped. Lawson hurt, Other Lawson hurt lifting, Glenn rolled up in a scrimmage, Ragland hurt without contact, Karlos fat, Karlos suspended, Williams DUI. Feels like the other shoe is waiting to drop at any moment.
  3. Offensively I see some reason for optimism but it comes with many assumptions such as health. I am extremely concerned about RT and T depth in general. Defensively I'm struggling to see how they are better other than they have another year in the scheme. Lawson and Ragland out hurts a lot. Spikes wasn't great 2 years ago, as Ragland's replacement, and Ryan said re: Zach Brown that he's essentially too light in the arse for his liking. I get that you play personnel packages but we unfortunately have to go through New England to do anything meaningful and they have made it abundantly clear over many years that they will speed up their game to prevent you from subbing in packages. We're have 2 good corners but #3 is a big question - our current #3 is a very small person. At safety I see nothing but giant question marks.
  4. During that 27-2 season he had a number of dropped INTS. If it's possible to have a "lucky" 27TD 2 INT year he did it. KC has a million QBs now. Alex Smith Aaron Murray Kevin Hogan Tyler Bray Nick Foles Hard to see them keeping more than 3. Gotta think Hogan makes the team as a 2016 draft pick. I think Bray is gone so that puts it down to Foles or Murray as primary backup. I like Aaron Murray a lot and if he came free I'd be very interested. Wonder if there's a trade for KC to be made here with Dallas.
  5. Gonna be tough to prove anything given it all almost assuredly an entirely cash based business and if the cops didn't gather evidence at the initial raid it's certainly gone now. Of course, he did have employees so it's theoretically possible that he kept records and even paid taxes.
  6. John Elway. Marino was good but Elway scared me to death every time we played them.
  7. TIL I learned that there are 3 people who have never been to Scranton.
  8. TIL that there is at least one person on Earth who would kill to go TO Scranton - even if it's only for a weekend.

  10. It's pretty amazing that they shut that down and all they did was issue a cease and desist and a citation for selling liquor without a license (a misdemeanor). They raided an illegal bar/strip club and didn't find anyone underage inside, they didn't find any evidence of prostitution, they didn't find any illegal narcotics or paraphernalia to that effect, the proprietor did not have any outstanding warrants, nobody was even illegally parked. Either that was the most upstanding speakeasy in the history of speakeasies or the cops chose to ignore some stuff.
  11. I'd like the NFL to do a study on whether or not they should stop #@$%ing around with the rules of football before they completely ruin it.
  12. That cabbies had to pay governments thousands of dollars, in many cases hundreds of thousands of dollars for the badges that allowed them to operate when Uber drivers don't have to do a thing gives the cabbies a bit of a beef. That and Uber's (amongst others) willfill destruction of the current employer employee relationship is enough to make me not use the service, convenient though it may be. For example, in Philadelphia, a new cab medallion costs 350 thousand dollars. For one.
  13. Didn't say I was proud of it, just said it happened.
  14. You're absolutely correct. Since Taylor was facing to the right there was no physical way for him to throw it to the left and thus no reason for the CB to react and alter his drop. Brady's made a nice living throwing the ball to the right places rather than locking into one receiver and forcing it in. On that play, Hogan was the right place to throw whether or not you like Chris Hogan as a football player or not. Take your patronizing tone somewhere else and learn what you're talking about before you bring it out again.
  15. The CB on Watkins was doing exactly what he was supposed to be doing and wasn't turned or "confused" around at all. He's looking directly at the QB in that situation and the second Taylor turns left he comes out of his bail and closes on Watkins. There are no other receivers on that side of the field and everything is happening right in front of him - Taylor turns left = ball to Watkins. The LB did a really good job of getting into the flat and he would have kept going had Taylor turned. Watkins was also on the short side of the field which makes the flat LBs job easier. Is the throw possible? Probably. Is it a ton riskier? You bet. 2 minutes left in the half in a 3-3 game at midfield you take the easy completion get your 9 yards and move on. When you run an overload against a zone you almost always (barring a complete dropped coverage) throw to the overload side because the other side will have a bunch of guys who only have to focus in one place. The purpose of the overload is to give the defenders too many places to be so you open up a seam in the zone - which they did. Woods threatened the deep corner which prevented him from immediately closing on Hogan to the outside, the TE threatened the flat LB right in front of him which looked juicy when Taylor cocked his arm - hence the reaction. Space = cleared. The other side of the zone was pristine. The OLB had Sammy short outside, the ILB had Sammy short inside, the CB had him outside intermediate to deep and the safety was on that side deep as well.
  16. No it's not, the corner doesn't break off his deep coverage until Taylor has already committed to throw the comeback in front of him. Pause the video at 1:15 and look. Taylor is in mid delivery and the CB hasn't yet put his foot in the ground to stop and come back. Meaning that if Taylor had held the ball the corner would have continued his deep coverage - which was his primary responsibility. The corner also had outside leverage which would have kept the receiver inside the numbers - which is where the corner's help is coming from. Not only is that not a touchdown, it's throwing into double coverage. On that play there was only one easy throw and Taylor made it. The TE was choice #2 and the flat LB would have killed him. Throwing to Sammy would have been a difficult throw over the LB and in front of the corner and getting there before Sammy went out of bounds. They also had the deep safety shaded to that side of the field and if you notice the RCB was about 3 yards shallower than the LCB - he had more immediate deep help and could afford to be closer to Sammy. The LCB had 3 receivers on his side of the field and his help was further away. Given that his main job in that coverage is to not get beat deep he naturally will be further off - which he was. If Taylor had pivoted left the LB wold have continued to bail into the flat and the CB - who had no other threats on that side - was already pretty close to Sammy and would have been able to be able to react aggressively to the play knowing that if it was a double move the safety had his back over the top.
  17. If we have the cap space to do this and the Ravens are really going to release him there is no reason not to send them a low draft pick to prevent them from releasing him to the market where he can sign with New England for 50 cents a year.
