Cautiously optimistic.
Someone mentioned injuries which is always a reason to temper absolute expectations. That said, we're deep in a few areas, surprisingly OL is looking like one of them.
The biggest thing that bothered me about last game wasn't Offensive mistakes. In many ways the...
At the very least he's proven to be quality depth, and could be an eventual replacement for Bennett.
I don't think he's reached his ceiling which is exciting.
How's it ridiculous ? Has he shown to be better than Joeckel ? Because Joeckel hasn't been hurt until THIS game. Just sayin'
Oh and Britt did have to come out this game. So backup Center does show to be valuable.
It's actually very easy to explain.
He probably didn't show all that well in practice. He looked a step behind in the preseason. He's gotten reps and gotten some experience.
Sometimes you have to get a chance to show you're a gamer. Some guys just don't excel in practice.
I would say it's Baldwin's offense, but not team.
He literally pulls them out of their struggles by sheer force of will. And he gets Wilson's back when he's being a leader. He puts on an absolutely amazing show of leadership.
I've been impressed with Nazair Jones.
He's physically imposing, has shown a lot of polish, and has some good counter moves and uses his hands much better than most rookies do. The guy can play the run and the pass equally well, and he was never known as much of a pass rusher in college. It's...
They drafted him for his versatility.
Obviously they were planning on paying Britt because, well....they did. I theorize that Pocic was a hedge in case Britt wanted too much money.
He was also a hedge if Ifedi didn't work out. He was a hedge in a lot of areas....I think the coaching staff...
The biggest problem I have for trading for Brown is that he's held out so long. It's no secret that players that hold out this long typically get some sort of soft tissue injury when they return to play. So we'd be trading for a guy that might not even be able to help us for a good portion of...
Not sure if it's Zolak, but I think it's the Patriots guy that will start laughing a lot.
I also can't stand the radio announcers for the Oregon Ducks. Their play by play guy starts giggling like a school girl every time they score.
The SD guys giggle a bit too. So annoying. I'm all for the...
Does getting rest immediately after the injury generally help with the recovery ? Or is it still like you said; a case by case situation ?
Just wondering if having the bye right after he injured it helps more.
We have a good rotation. I read that RIchardson only played 45 of 74 snaps.
So you're rotating guys all game, whereas the opposing team's OL plays every snap. It's natural that the fresher guys gain a step in the last half of the 3rd quarter and 4th quarter.
2013 we also had a good, deep...
Add to this the fact that our interceptions have steadily gone down. Much of this is due to lack of interior pressure.
We also don't know what's going on with McDowell, who was supposed to be our answer to this issue after the draft. McDowell was slated to be a 3 tech and 5 tech DE. RIchardson...
Not sure about the offense because their DL is still ok. Russell may just toss it over their heads all game.
I expect our DL to get 10 sacks that game though. Seriously. Clark 3, Richardson 2, Bennett 2, Naz Jones 1, Wagner 1, and new guy 1.
Yea that Cards guy was a Fullback. Not like you can't tell.
The San Diego guy was super annoying as well. Their play by play guy has a higher voice and damn near pees himself every Charger first down, and their color guy stammers and spits a lot. Lol.
Oh I agree...Joeckel doesn't quite have good enough feet for LT, which seems odd because one would think that would be scouted pretty heavily after he was universally touted as one of the top 2 LT's in that draft class. I'd like him where he is, but the problem is that if Odhiambo goes down...
