Jay Ajayi rushed for 204 yards and 2 TDs on 24 carries and they graded him outside the top 5 for running backs that week (so someone told me)

On a side note, I was talking to a college football player at the bar a couple of nights ago. He actually played Carson Wentz when he was a freshman (Wentz was a junior). He was in awe of how smooth and composed the guy was. They were playing with it snowing and in high elevation and it was like a 70 degree sunny day for Wentz. "Nothing ever affected him". "He's the real deal."

He's perfect :allears:

I talked to a guy who was a senior when wentz was a junior and he said wentz was "Grossman-like" when it came to after the game

Blount is a ridiculous beast of a back and I'm pretty sure he's coming off of a super bowl and the best season in his career. If you're an eagles fan and anything less than thrilled with this you're an idiot.

Honestly it's a great signing for what he is but there's a reason he's being signed this late in the offseason

Darby is pretty good. They got a pretty good CB from the Rams to replace him.

Matthews is mediocre as poo poo

Just collecting picks I guess.

Also their 2015 rookie of the year.

Had a sophomore slump last year.

Also, lol Bills secondary after this and losing Gilmore.

These articles always suck. It's like they are written by people that don't follow the NFL. Yeah our QB is from North Dakota and likes to hunt. Boy he really nailed us there.

We already had the NFC East dumpster fire series which is like the same idea only written by someone who watches the teams.

You just watch for guys playing fundamental football and see if guys gently caress up plays

It's more for the coaches than you. You might see a run that's 3 yards but coaches are keying in on your guard making insanely good/bad plays, etc.

Week 3 PS is pretty close to an NFL game so I'm curious how Miami does.

I don't know what you mean friend! Maybe if you were nicer and not only stopped calling people dipshits you too could be popular :-)

Wentz had a couple good throws. A couple of really stupid ones too. Philly looked pretty good.

First team v first team though... you're probably mad Miami won that. But it's preseason! It's ok! Still have the whole year to go!

I'm not holding those 2 deflected balls against Wentz.

Keep in mind, Miami's d-line is a top 3 unit.

Having passes deflected at his height is troublesome but yeah it's pretty easy to fix. Tannehill had that issue (in his first game JJ Watt swatted 6 of his passes lol) but no longer does.

The pick 6 on wentz was a hit to the face of a QB. A weak one sure but still.

The skins should have been called for intentional grounding but were not. Even though the guy who said was "in the area" was held up on the line of scrimmage.

Both sides got jobbed by the refs tbh. But the skins did get some favourable calls.

Absolutely. I agree with this. That's reasonable.

But saying Washington was getting ALL THE CALLS!!! Is fan board level trash. Come on now.
