2012 Season Game Threads Mega-Merge

[Midswat]

Put your claws away Mid I only brought it up to reaffirm your point lol

No I just didn't know what you were trying to say. It was confusing to me. Thanks for clarification.

It's an NAIA team and its my first job gotta start somewhere though. It's not worth the 10 seconds it would take me to put up a link to the staff page but I work for the University of St Mary in Kansas and the running back's name who was on the same team with Griffin is Evan Hearn. All verifiable on the internet.

couchscout I is over at CZ...check with him for quality info

Griffin looks legit and I hate that.

 

[dbair1967]

He does, although every team in the league (and especially the NFC East) is gonna spend all offseason dissecting that offense apart to figure out ways to stop it. Everybody was pretty much blind going into this year as to what they'd do and how they'd attack teams.

Not having #1 picks each of the next two seasons is bound to hurt them some too.

 

[superpunk]

he's also one of the ugliest human beings on the planet.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

He rubs his hands together when he talks.

Don't trust him.

 

[Jon88]

I hate people who touch others when they talk. That's so stupid. Emmitt, Irvin, Cris Carter, Keyshawn, and Tom Jackson are bad about that.

Bengals place Sanu on IR
Posted by Mike Florio on December 4, 2012, 3:28 PM EST

Getty ImagesBengals receiver Mohamed Sanu has developed into the team’s best receiver not named A.J. Green.

The Bengals will now have to navigate the rest of the season without the rookie from Rutgers.

He has been placed on injured reserve, after suffering a foot injury in practice on November 28. He was inactive on Sunday against the Chargers.

Sanu’s roster spot will be filled by running back Daniel Herron, who has been elevated from the practice squad. Herron’s spot on the practice squad will be filled by receiver Vidal Hazelton

Your avatar is getting annoying, Middy.

Attack the post. Not the poster.

Yes sir!

#Cowboys could be in for wet weather: Weather Channel says Cincinnati has a 40 percent chance of rain with a high of 61 on Sunday.

@Pff: Tony Romo now has a passer rating of 118.1 when throwing to Dez Bryant this season.




Id love to get a player like Andrew Hawkins

I liked sanu in the draft

I'm not sure they're doing a whole lot that is all that sneaky.

Running the ball well with yet another Shanahan RB and throwing the ball to wide open receivers. How the fuck is that Shanahan does it? It's bullshit. Why can't other teams replicate that shit? Fucking Dallas can barely get back to the line of scrimmage and Shanahan could throw a quadriplegic out there and get 4 yards per carry.

Seems pretty routine. They pretty much sprinkle in the option bullshit just to keep teams thinking about it. Other than that they're doing much of what other teams do. Quick WR screens to bring the defense up, running well to set up play action and throwing to guys who are open.

Honestly, those 2 1st round picks are shit if RG3 continues on the path he is on. And the contract he is playing on for the next 4 years? Fucking ridiculous. They'll be able to supplement those picks with the money saved from having him on a rookie slotted contract as opposed to the retarded contracts teams were handing out just a couple years ago.

 

[Midswat]

I will say this about Roger Griffith the third..... they showed a montage of hits (is montage the right word?).... and he was taking some violent hits.

He'll be collecting some concussions soon.

In fact, if our week 17 game is meaningless, I'd tell the players to spear RGIII in the helmet every fucking play.

That, plus the better draft pick, ought to pay dividends in the future.

Sure that's the only reason you hate all of those guys?

They are doing alot of stuff that college teams do and that Griffin did at Baylor. Its not very similar to what Shanahan teams have done in the past, so I would imagine its caught alot of teams off guard a little bit. Its definitely not a traditional offense.

And just like all the other fad offenses and gimmicks NFL offenses have tried, defenses will catch up eventually.

Triple option is flukey.

Just to piggy-back off of this dbair, but it would appear that the gimmick offense is potentially putting Griffin in harm's way. How many hits do they think he can continue to sustain, without it having an impact?
