Goff finally has a good drive, ends in TD pass to RB

Really wish the Pats would got back to the Red they used to wear with the Minuteman helmet. Those were cool.

The Rams should have went back to the blue uni's they had for the 70's and 80's

Raiders uni's are good.

The Star still rules though.

Oh hell no! I hated those Patriots unis

The only ones that were worse were the orange sherbet Bucs unis

Watched first qtr of Giants/Bills

Giants D pretty active and athletic, did get burned for one long play to TE but got a forced fumble on GL to hold out Bills.

Giants offense looks pretty awful. Their OL is getting whipped bad.

I'm good with that

I'll put our strong offense up against their strong defense. I think we win that battle 9-10 times

I think we come out ahead

Then when we put our shitty defense up against their shitty offense I think we may fare well enough to win both games this season

Assuming we are healthy and no one else get stoned with the commissioner and get suspended

 

[Scot]

Where was this said? I haven't seen that. I thought they've always said they really didn't know when it would start functioning properly again.

I don't remember the number of months they stated that he should have some positive response by but that time has come and gone

Don't get me wrong, he was never expected to play this season, but from the report I read they expected him to have a positive nerve reaction by now and we're disappointed that it hasn't happened yet. Which sounded like he wasn't coming along like the surgeon had expected or at least hoped he would

I'll see if I can find the report

It's an old report a month or two old by now I'm guessing

Cardale Jones today. 6/12 83 yds, 1 pick. Sacked once

That rookie's QBR is imperfect!

14. It was a terrible game all around for the Giants. The first-team offense was a mess -- more penalties (three) than first downs (one) on four drives. Big Blue's offensive line was particularly terrible, getting eaten alive by a swarming Bills defense (Jerry Hughes whooped up on Marshall Newhouse regularly). Coach Ben McAdoo kept the first-team blockers in the game until halftime in an effort to build continuity and find a positive; it didn't help. Through three quarters the Giants' run game had 1.9 YPC on 17 totes. Woof. The D wasn't much better, highlighted by EJ Manuel leading a second-team Bills offense on a 10-play, 49-yard TD drive against the Giants' first-team defense.

Here is your current Dolphins depth chart entering Week 3 of the preseason. Note the guards still have Dallas Thomas and Billy Turner over first-round pick Laremy Tunsil and Jermon Bushrod.

 

[MrB]

Damn, Tunsil is 3rd on their depth chart?

 

[dbair1967]

Yep. And remember how he was a once a generation type talent at LT? He apparently isn't even good enough to compete at that position on a team with a mediocre to bad OL.

 

[MrB]

Crazy that he was at one point considered to be the #1 overall pick and the safest pick in the draft.

 

[ThoughtExperiment]

I bet it's more the coach sending a message about his work ethic or knowledge of the playbook.

Crazy concept, I know.

Crazy concept, I know.

Wow. That head coach better check with the owner to see if it's okay to bench the 1st round pick.

That's how all teams work right?

 

[dbair1967]

I bet it's more the coach sending a message about his work ethic or knowledge of the playbook.

Crazy concept, I know.

Or it might be he's been bonging out and is just sucking on the field.

 

[dbair1967]

I bet it's more the coach sending a message about his work ethic or knowledge of the playbook.

Crazy concept, I know.

I still think its interesting on a team with a bad OL in general that a guy that was crowned as one of the premier LT prospects coming out in recent history, that the Dolphins have to move him inside to G. I guess I'd need to go back and read scouting stuff on him but I don't remember anyone saying a move inside to G was something being considered with him.

Tunsil's situation reminds me a little of Gregory's last year.

I don't know all of the details, but it seemed like the Cowboys went above and beyond to help/support Gregory. Was there much else the Cowboys could have done? Should they have been tougher with Gregory by benching him or something? Would a "real coach" have had more success with Gregory?

I'm not convinced anything would have worked.
