  1. There was a game in recent years where Lee Smith caught a pass (!) and Chandler was blocking his guy, clearing a path for Smith to make a cut and extend the play. Chandler later asked Smith why he did not make that cut, since Chandler had his guy blocked.

     

    Smith's answer: I don't cut.

  2. There are only so many franchise QBs to go around. Sorry, but we can not all have one.

     

    This year's draft has zero franchise QBs, according to the book of Mel.

     

    I don't know WHO is good at scoping them out in any given draft. A guy could likely make a fortune as a consultant if he could consistently pick franchise QBs out of the college crop.

     

  3. These are just the large-print editions for the aging baby boomer NFL fans.

     

    I hope nobody is paying to have these hideous designs made up.

     

    In most cases, BARF-O!!!

     

    The white Packers and Patriots designs are particularly gross. Steelers? Ewwww.

     

    Houston Oilers again? WTF, did this guy miss the memo?

    Marrone on being a head coach again: "My focus is on right here."

    Marrone says the Jags lineman all finish plays. Encouraging. Also said it's rare to have everyone do that.

    Vito Stellino @vitostellino 8m8 minutes ago

    says young linemen all move well and finish...being able to finish is important to marrone.

    ...being able to finish is important to marrone.

     

    Obviously!

     

    Ya lyin' bas-tid!

  5. It's kind of morbid, but this is one of the most enjoyable threads I have seen in a long time, relishing the failure of the guy that took a sh&% on the football team we all love. Well, the crapper backed up and blew it back in Doug's face.

     

    This whole episode makes me wonder what made Bill Polian such a Doug Marrone fan. The "former NFL GM" in the linked article sounds like it just has to be Polian.

     

    Could this be a bit of a black eye when Polian's name comes up for Hall of Fame voting?

  6. We should change the title of this thread to leaving Henderson out to dry is Hackett. I read "Hackett is leaving" and I got excited becaus I thought i could refer to Nate Hackett as our former offensive coordinator. Then I read the rest of the title and was disappointed. Again.

    "Leaving Henderson out to dry is Hackett"

     

    Now say it in a Yoda voice!

  7. He's still terrible with the football and will fumble or throw interceptions at the very worst times. He has a good arm and will look like a solid player for short stretches, but he is terrible when pressured.

    Sanchez seems to have no pocket awareness, no idea when pressure is coming.

     

    I was very disappointed to see the Eagles suck today, hoped they could beat out the Cowboys for the division. I guess not.

  8. Got that right.

     

    Speaking of dominant, seems every time I watch a Dallas offensive series, and I don't that often, their OL NEVER gets pushed back and Murray is NEVER touched until he's five yards past the LOS. I enjoy watching them work.

     

    GO BILLS!!!

    I hate to see the Cowboys succeed, but they really have put together a good OL.

     

    I always envy the way the Cowboys draft, develop, and use tight ends, too. Witten is great, but then they keep drafting guys pretty high (Escobar, etc). TEs can be a big part of a productive offense.

  9. I've commented Id like kromer for the offensive line- curious what guys would think after this nasty story about leaking to the media about cutler

     

    Worked under marrone I believe - helped develop jahri Evans, Carl nicks, Bushrod, etc.... Some misses in there too but a nice track record

    When they talked about Aaron Kromer (Bears OC) and how he had talked negatively about Cutler, the thing that amazed me was that he is also the Bears' offensive line coach!

     

    What kind of rinky-dink sh%$ is that?! The same guy as OC and OL coach? No wonder their offense sucks!

     

    It sounds like something the old cheapskate Bengals would do.
