I like how Marrone played it - we can and will get better. Didn't act overly impressed (of course he was also dealing with the loss of his friend) which is the right tone to strike, IMO.

This has been my experience as well. I simply do not understand why those club holders bother to come out to the game, then sit inside and pretend they're at their neighborhood Chili's.

LOL

Better hands on Hogan than Easley? That last play was a possession-type play, not a speed play.

Since when is checking down inherently bad? Do you prefer interceptions?

He was ballin today. I also saw good pressure and most of all, consistent effort. Pettine has him playing.

Scary to think how good this D could be when Gilmore and Byrd return. And if our O stops giving up short fields to the other team. It could be a fun 2nd half to the season.

Two games in I'd say McKelvin is playing lights out this year. Period.

Interested to hear Microscopes' take on this.

Maybe an unfortunate reference on my part, but I'm tired of simpletons who can't think beyond "Buddy bad" and "Whaley good". Those who can't reconcile the fact that this roster and coaching staff is the product of both guys, make me wonder about their mental capacity.

Hackett's call was based on extensive film study, years of experience and watching his players in practice. EJ knew exactly where Stevie was supposed to be and the play was specifically designed to get him free. Best of all, it worked. What is your play call based on? EDIT: absolutely NOBODY would have bit on that fake dive into the line you suggested, given the time left and no timeouts.

Anyone can listen to local media on wgr550.com, but that said, no indication of any serious injuries.

Not clear to me. Nope, not at all. Why would they not push Buddy aside BEFORE the draft if your ADD-inspired hypothesis is true?

Agree, much better approach to taking advantage of what the guys do best.

Agree 100%. This must be fixed. Chandler has no mobility. 0.

Gotta give the guy props. 4.5 sacks today? Are you kidding me?

Interesting thread choice. How's the server doing?

Yes. Best two consecutive games I've seen from him. Vindicates the FO's decision to give him a fat new contract.

Bud Light here...

Good thread. Was wondering about this myself. The rule makes sense BTW. Will have to look at the tape and see if the hold (which was blatant BTW, he ripped off the player's helmet) was pre or post kick.

Big Kiko fan. Plays like a heat-seeking missile reminiscent of Shane Conlan.

So Nix leading the draft prep, being on the phone DURING the draft, and leaving AFTER the draft was all symbolic, right?

Chandler must be at the very bottom of the league in YAC.

Glad you caught it Stevie. Maybe, just maybe, we make a playoff run someday that is built on the growing pains of all of Stevie's key drops.

Don't thank Nix, the ADD portion of the fanbase will be upset.
