What's really cool in that picture is that both Stanford defenders manage to start pointing at him at the exact same time. Especially impressive for the guy falling backward to start pointing before he even hits the ground.

It sounds like Kelce could be out a while, and as far as linemen go you can argue he was the one guy we couldn't afford to lose. At least Lane Johnson will be back next week.

Orgophlax posted:The Eagles are outscoring opponents 74-14, or something ridiculous like that, in the second half. Their conditioning seems fine to me. Right margin. 84-24 in reality. Eagles are +60 in points in the second half this year, after being -24 in the first half. drat. e: \/ Yeah Lane comes back after the 49ers game, so you should have a solid right side (Herremans/Johnson) and Peters being Peters. I would think Chip would try to do some overloads and things to the right side with Shady/Sproles to try to play to the strength aBagorn fucked around with this message at 18:09 on Sep 22, 2014 |

Lane Johnson will be back in week 5 right? So they'll have Peters, Johnson, and Herremans on the line.. it will really just be running that will be difficult since the interior of the line has the most inexperience. I don't think pass protection is going to be too huge a deal except that Foles does like to hold the ball for a while, but he didn't in yesterday's 2nd half, got the ball out quick and knew when to leave the pocket. Problem for SF is that they don't have Vernon Davis right now, and it's TEs who give the Eagles defense so many problems with Kendricks out. Davis would be the kind of factor that would give SF the edge, honestly.

football fuckerman posted:Yeah exactly. The ravens pick that had me all mad was Pitta running full-on into the LB assigned to cover the fullback. On a scripted pass to the fullback. For a touchdown. How are you supposed to defend that? I was talking about the one where Torrey ran into Haden leaving Steve Smith wide open in the middle of the field.

Danny LaFever posted:Only three games but the Lions secondary is holding up. All offseason they were talking about Darius Slay working hard with Woodson to get better at the position and for once it doesn't seem like fluff. He plays night and day from last season. Way more confidence. I think with dbacks you really don't know what you have until about their 3rd year. The Lions should be really happy with Slay because he's been really good so far this year. If he keeps improving he'll be a seriously awesome CB.

I'm not sure I can watch football any more, after everything that's happened recently. Like even after the Seahawks brutally owning known face-sitter Payton Manning for a second time, there's no thrill left in these victories.

PFF says that in 27 plays against Charles Johnson, Marcus Gilbert gave up one hurry and that was it. For a dude who looked absolutely atrocious the first two weeks, that's insane to me.

I don't know that there are many OLBs that would be able to do that regularly. Maxwell was a much bigger concern and I really wish they'd start letting Sherman follow a receiver. He did it once against Fitzgerald and it worked fine.

I think he was really frustrated last night and wanted to make a big play but he kept guessing wrong on run/pass due to the way the Steelers were running their offense. He will get his numbers back as the season goes on, but the other guys on the line have to move the lines a bit. Without Hardy and against a coach who can mask a bad oline, the panthers might have to actually blitz or do a few more exotic looks.

Pretty much everyone is going to target Maxwell now so unless he can figure out how to properly defend against passes get ready for lots of allowed receptions.

Taking a flight from Newark to SFO and vice versa five or six times a year was genuinely unpleasant. That being said, any disadvantage from the travel itself should not make much of a difference for a Sunday 4:25 (ET) game.

Seahawks will be fine, Denver has a ton of athletic weapons and they've actually gotten more athletic on the whole with Decker gone and Welker's role reduced. San Diego and Denver was the worst it was gonna get in terms of legit passing offenses, no need to worry.

My favorite part about Cary Williams bitching about practice making him tired is that Chip Kelly said Williams didn't practice on Wednesday or Thursday this week. Dude is a bitch and isn't good. I can't wait for him to get off this team.
