actually his injury has been reported. I don't remember where but I did read about it a while back. I'm not making excuses for him and I hate reading guys talk about injuries but hopefully it did have to do w/ that b/c he will have his hands full Sunday. I don't think he's been bad, he wasn't on Jackson when he did most of his damage but I think that speaks to the confidence Rex has in him to not shadow Jackson but he's also not revis and no other corner is close to revis so maybe we are expecting too much?
They were young around Mario on defense, a lot of added talent on D. Plus the biggest addition was Wade Phillips. Mario was not a top 5 pass rusher like his sacks say, since 2007 he is 4th in sacks behind only Ware, Allen, and Abraham. He is more in that 10-15 range IMO. Until the defenses he plays on are more consistent that probably wont change, comes down to coaching.
Hey take it easy on Goldens. At least they're faithful. Try telling one of Cromartie's love interests how faithful he is.
Interesting take on the anointing of EJ Manuel as this year's "it" rookie QB vs Geno's perceived problems (and note - this is from a Bills fan site!) I can't post links but it is the buffalorumblings.com site. Add this after the main site: /2013/9/18/4742588/bills-vs-jets-2013-ej-manuel-vs-geno-smith-film-breakdown Excerpt: When you compare the two making throws - particularly throws down the field, which NFL quarterbacks need to do consistently to stick in this league - things even out a bit. In Week 2, Smith may have even been better in that particular facet of the game. Take a look at the gallery above for an in-depth look at how Manuel and Smith fared on vertical throws this past week; hover over the photos for explanations of what you're seeing. Despite the gap between the two that exists almost exclusively because Manuel has avoided big mistakes and Smith hasn't (and the fact that Manuel has a game-winning drive on his CV and doesn't play for the Jets certainly helps), the gap between the two as passers isn't huge. Manuel is the hotter hand right now, but those anointing him while simultaneously writing off Smith as a bad job may end up grievously mistaken, and possibly as soon as Week 3.
I think the most impressive thing for me about Manuel is that he is running the fastest offense in the NFL. To no huddle, get the play in, understand the play with all the routes etc., get up to the line, see the defense and read the coverage, see potential blitzes and call the right protection, and then snap the ball faster than any other NFL team or any other veteran QB is impressive as a rookie just 2 games in.
I think the Eagles and Mike Vick might have an argument with the fastest offense in the NFL, but your point is ore than valid. The ability to quickly read the defense - especially post-snap and get rid of the ball - is what separates the two QBs right now. Probably the same reason the Bills O-line looked good last year with limited sacks of Fitzpatrick too.
With the Yankee Season likely ending within a week, all the attention is going to be turned toward football and more specifically the countdown to the Super Bowl in NY/NJ. Would be perfect if we are sitting at 2-1 and the Giants are sitting at 0-3.
Please, all he's been doing is dinking and dunking short passes and dump offs all the way down the field.
When you are considered 'the fastest offense' dinking and dunking short passes is one of the reasons why you are considered that....
Kerley being back would be great news. He's a target who can catch the ball and finds a way to get us first downs. He also bumps everyone down one on the WR depth chart so we see them less. Hopefully Holmes feels better this week. He has shown some sparks of his old self, but he's still getting acclimated.
How good would Trent Richardson have looked in green and white on Sunday? Jets first round pick is bound to be more valuable than Indy's, why didn't Jets make that move?
I'm hoping this damn game is aired down here in Tallahassee. I'm so sick of streaming them in terrible image quality. I can't see anything clear like that, I hate it
Were not a running back away from being a great offense like Indy? They have Andrew luck and good receivers all they needed was a RB. Sent from my HTCEVODesign4G using Tapatalk 2
I would even argue that Indy needed O-line help more than they needed Richardson ESPECIALLY with Donald Thomas done for the year.
Richardson is a great blitz pickup guy. You need a trade partner who wants to part with their linemen, unfortunately we don't know who's on the trade block to get into that discussion. Sent from my HTCEVODesign4G using Tapatalk 2
It's not all that impressive when you remember Manuel only has 2 pass plays to choose between: Throw it short or throw it shorter. :rofl:
