I suppose that if you're thinking about breaking...or at least bending the rules you should know what they are.

If he was standing out of bounds, I would think not. I just rewound and watched it. The receiver had one toe on the white when he engaged the defender. Since they reviewed it, and the expert didn't comment on that aspect, it must be okay. BTW He thought he was short as well.

Flacco got kicked to the curb in Baltimore. He likes being wanted. Good question. Did he reestablish himself in bounds? Lock got a lucky spot. I thought he was 6 inches short.

Never make a decision out of desperation unless it's literally life and death.

Lock is handing off the ball and I'm thinking "toast."

Chubb is looking like a monster. Elway can't pick a QB, but he knows his pass rushers.

Love to see Sanders back to form. Always liked him as a WR. Bummer about the penalty. That was a nice catch.

They just showed Fangio. He resembles the head coach at Wisconsin.

I'd like to see him succeed as well...since he's no longer on NE.

You're right. I recall that. Cassel looked good one season in KC as I recall. Then he fizzled. In the pregame, Hasselbeck talked about Stitham and how NE develops QBs, citing Garapolo and Jacoby Brissett. I think the jury is still out elsewhere and I'm wondering about the effectiveness of NE's offensive system.

Garapolo and Flacco both starting. Garapolo already threw a pick. Wondering if these New England QBs thrive in New England only.

Crappy call on Lawson.

It seems like he's nonchalanting it...not driving the ball, so it's drifting.

You forget. We don't have Peterman anymore.

Maybe they were all distracted because of the national focus. More thinking about their interviews versus focusing on practice.

Aren't these voted on by the players themselves? They obviously see his fire and competitive spirit, and how he's turning the team around.

Baker Mayfield was placed at number 50. It's on the NFL.com website. I seriously doubt Allen or Darnold are on the list.

I recall when Charlie Steiner started laughing uncontrollably during one of the broadcasts. I think it was when Carl Lewis, the track star, was singing the national anthem at a ball game. It was horrid. Steiner was in tears laughing so hard...and of course, it made you laugh just as hard watching him.

I hadn't seen this. Thank you for posting it.

Very good!!! ?

I just listened to Sean's presser. I didn't get the impression that he had concerns about Oliver. He was talking in the context of mentoring...how Star had Dwan Edwards to mentor him in the ways of being a professional. Now it's Star's turn to do the same with Oliver, though Ed has to take ownership and learn to do things himself. He was asked to elaborate and Sean discussed those things outside of practice that are important for players to do and to form the habits it takes to be a solid professional (what time you arrive, what time you leave, what to do in your free time, when to workout, when to get a massage, film study, etc.) Then he said it's "important that the habits that precede the winning are being built the right way and in a timely fashion for these young players." So I didn't take it as any criticism of Oliver.

Did your mother drop you on your head? Why can't you simply accept a positive statement for what it is?

The man has no soul.

Actually, Shaw, what you wrote isn't "hopeless" at all. You should retitle this the "Hopeful Optimist".

I think you may be onto something Shaw. Is it optimistic?...yes. Overly so? No. Your outlook is reasoned and measured. Count me in the cult as well.
