It's looked to me like he'd actually been drawing quite a few doubles already in the first couple games so things might not change much for him. I wonder if opposing coaches who are actually watching film are seeing him playing even better than we've been.

Yeah, for $25

I'd much rather have the potential for an extra possession in the 2nd half than in the 1st half. Deferring is almost always the right call.

I agree that players shouldn't be playing ref; Josh had a bad habit of calling Offside penalties and it got him in trouble a couple times. Although I will say that a DL can be penalized without entering the neutral zone if he's considered to be "simulating the start of a snap" or simulating a snap count.

It was definitely close, which was why he was able to get back so quick. I just have to trust the line judge's perspective over what we can see on TV.

You've earned "Veteran Rest Day"

I'm this close to thinking that we have a DT rotation that could be the best in the history of the NFL. Aside from Allen having to field a few wild pitches, he wasn't terrible.

Grits blitzes. 8 man rushes the entire 1st qrtr and hit Allen on every single down. If he's still standing in the 2nd qrtr keep running it but dropping the occasional zone dawg in there to see if you can steal a turnover. Complement this with heavy packages on offense to run both the ball and the clock and with just enough PA sprinkled in to keep the 'backers honest. If Allen finishes the game, you probably lose, but at least you have a punchers chance to break him. Oh, and sacrifice goats in the locker room both pregame and at halftime.

Yes. And Kaiir Elam is already not far behind.

August is also 26. Our sons were born on the exact same day. 🤙

Yeah, but it was 40 feet....

That's also my son's birthday. What year? (And don't say "every year" )

Do you want an egg in your beer, too?

It's certainly tactically sound, but it also would have been a nice place to throw his players a bone to keep that streak going.

It's neither a co-incidence nor the first time we've seen Josh barely running the ball in a game that immediately followed a game where he had ~10 rushes. Every time it gets to be too much, McD yanks on the leash that week.

I'm just talking about long speed. There were three college players running stride for stride with him in that clip. I don't think he can run away from NFL DBs.

They'll probably be missing both of their starting OT's. Muahahahahaha.....

Unless it's May of 2020, he's a gibbering asshat.

He's not the first, nor will he be the last, kid to play tight in his very first NFL game. Don't mean nuthin......

That was Gabriel Davis' personally autographed skinny post where he hits the corner with a perfectly timed dip just as he's flipping his hips back. I hope Gabe cornered Diggs after the game and demanded that he give him that ball. I f'ing love that this is still a verb.

Derrick Brooks is one of the greatest LB's and most respected ballplayers to ever step on an NFL field, imo.

Yeah, that was almost exactly a reverse image of the earlier one that was called on the offense. I thought stripes might call it that way again to keep things square, but I think in the 2nd case, the Bills DT (was it Phillips again?) was .1 second slower getting back onside and got tapped on the hat when he was still just barely in the neutral zone. It was finer than frog hair, but I thought they actually got both calls right.

I gotta disagree. I was having an absolute ball in the 3rd qrtr last night when we were running the Titans out of the building.
