Old Coot

Amari has been invisible in our O this year. I blame Brady

The D screwed the pooch big time in the first half. In the second half they adjusted and allowed only 3 points. That's amazing since their two starting LBs were out.

Someone said Josh may have been concussed last week when his head bounced off the turf. On the all 22 last week he was missing open receivers. This week against the Falcons he looked like a mere mortal. Last week he had plenty of time to throw. This week he did not because of the blitz. Puzzling that we did not throw slants or quick stuff -- blitz beaters. Our O scheme doesn't seem to have hot routes to beat the blitz -- just dump-offs to the RB. Injuries to our receiving corps may also have played a role.

Guess It wasn't a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

Conclusion: other teams' OL are better at hiding the holding than our OL.

Maye looked like the Josh of old rolling out to his right and hitting the receiver at the sideline. He even had the "jump in the air" throwing mechanic of the rookie Josh.

On the issue of helmets you'd think the interior could use some form of cushioning to absorb the force of the back of the head hitting the turf. Maybe cushioning on the outside back of the helmet or better yet, natural grass.

I don't doubt what you say. What are his holes? Why draft him #33 (beginning of 2d round) if he's only WR4? Seems like domeone dropped the ball here (and it wasn't Coleman).

Why does benford seem to have regressed this year? Is he injured? Is it scheme? Sunday night I noticed what looked like a CB sprinting backward just before the snap. Why?

As for the Cold Front unis, save them for the next big blizzard on gameday.

Interestingly, some teams actually began their existence with second hand uniforms. The Chicago Cardinals (remember them) started out using old University of Chicago Maroons uniforms. The university had recently given up football. The ':cardinal" color was actually the faded red of the university jerseys. The Denver Broncos start life with their infamous "Milk Duds" uniforms -- brown and mustard with vertically striped socks.. These uniforms had been used in a college all-star game in the 1950's. The uniforms were so hated by the fans that after a couple of years the tram held a public bonfire at which the uniforms were burned. The Baltimore Colts (remember them) inherited their Blue and White scheme from the defunct Dallas Texans NFL franchise after purchasing that teams asseits and moving the team to Baltimore. The Colts moniker was retained from the old AAFL Baltimore Colts franchise (silver and Green unis)
