    Geno Smith real deal? ...or just a flash?

    The 24/7 media needs profitable clickbait and "tiers" are their crutch. Every week, a new iteration of "top ten" this or "top ten" that. Football fans are addicted to the clickbait. Every week, a new "tier" to measure your emotional investment against. To satisfy that never-ending desire to feel...

    Fant, Dissly, Parkinson

    It is definitely a good pass protect formation. Perhaps they installed it, just for this game, thinking that the two back up tackles would be exploited. The issue with this formation being used for max protect is that you put less people into routes and with film study, the opposition should be...

    Fant, Dissly, Parkinson

    Part of the reason for the strong play by the offensive tackles, no matter who is playing, is because of the strength of the tight end group. It helps to have a competent tight end lined up next to you. I also don't get the complaints about not using the tight ends more. I doubt there is another...

    Red Zone Efficiency.

    The single most important offensive issue. Ranked 27th last year. Touchdowns are so much better than field goals.

    McIntosh and Adams Officially Out Week 1

    Putting players on the practice squad exposes them to the waiver wire. It is basically how Seattle "stole" the preseason phenom linebacker from the Raiders.

    Dee Eskridge

    I can top that one. Think of all the players that were drafted before Tom Brady or Richard Sherman or Kam Chancellor or Priest Holmes or Warren Moon or Kurt Warner or...........

    Starting defense going into week 1

    Jackson would have to screw up mightily to lose his playing time to Brown. That said, they are both going to play. The whole "starter" stuff is blown way out pf proportion. If the suggestion is that Brown is going to deny snaps for Jackson, folks are wrong. The dog pile on Jackson reminds me...

    This is the most pessimistic Take

    Why would I click on that article when I can get the same type of negativity on this forum? If I want to visit a web site to feel bad about my team, I don't have to go anywhere else.

    So much for the Ahlers hype.

    Maybe he is good, and they found someone better? Two things can be true at the same time.

    The Jamal Adams trade in retrospect

    I am the biggest critic in the world of the Adams deal. Horrible in every aspect. Who is to say that Pete and John, as a management team, can't learn from mistakes and get better? Schnieder, in reference to Malik McDowell can be quoted as saying he learned from it and would not repeat it...

    Adams to come off pup list

    Count me as one that didn't fall for him year one. I watched his cover skills. I watched his ball handling skills. His only redeeming attribute was his pursuit skills. For the sake of giving him the benefit of the doubt, let's assume he has an elite level of pursuit skill. Those kinds of guys at...

    Where Do The Hawks Stand in the NFC?

    The Eagles are really stacked with talent, but there is already some salary discontent, and the talent gap isn't going to last forever. I think the Cowboy's Pollard is extremely underrated, but that is countered by Cee Dee Lamb being extremely overrated. Seattle will bottle up Lamb, but Pollard...

    53 Man Roster Set

    Right after the draft, I believed the only drafted player that might find difficulty in making the final roster was Reed and that was because so much salary cap was invested into the safety position. What floors me is the UDFA retention as well as EVERY draft pick making the team. When you get...

    53 Man Roster Set

    Forgive my lack of review. You are most certainly correct. Still.....If I were Young or Eskridge, I wouldn't feel entirely safe. Thompson made it this far. He only has to show better than one other person now and he has a quarter of the season to do it. I would say his odds have increased...

    53 Man Roster Set

    1) Joey Hunt was good for a rookie deal, but a veteran contract priced him out of a job. A veteran non-starter OL almost has to have the ability to play at least three positions. Joey is just too small for that role. 2) Barring injury to the receiver room, one of Young, Bobo, or Eskridge is...

    DeeJay Dallas cryptic tweets

    There are many attributes that make up a player and some are significantly ignored. Here is one of them: Situational awareness and self-discipline. Tell me the last time that DJ Dallas fumbled near his own red zone, caused a penalty that negated a touchdown, taunted the opposing bench to wipe...

    Lock Looked Pretty Good

    He is a starting caliber quarterback.

    Season Prediction

    People will be lighting their hair on fire over the defense for the first 3-4 weeks. The defense will struggle early on. When all the new faces finally get their communication down and after the coaches make a couple of tweaks, the defense will click and play very well. For the remainder of the...

    Adams to come off pup list

    Wagner would have restructured to the going rate. You know it. I know it. He didn't get the deal because Adams was overpaid. Further, Adams has NEVER been in his prime, because Adams has never done anything worthwhile enough to be labeled as "prime "except blitz the quarterback on third down. He...
