Guze posted:Getting rid of the first means theres no reason not to hold on 3rd downs longer than 5 yards. Other than giving a free down with less yardage, like it only works for so long. I'd be cool with upping defensive holding to 10 yards without the free first down to make it about the same. We're just imagining things either way here because there's no way that's on the competition committee's radar.

Kalli posted:In a world where Bortles and all the other aggressively bad backups exist, Mariota is a valued backup, who's probably gonna be making Bridgewater money for the next decade. I'd imagine there will be several places where he's too good to sign as a backup because the fans would immediately want him to start. Like imagine if he was in Chicago this year.

Be interesting to see the return there. The shine is definitely off Peters the last couple of years but man was he a gamechanger early on.

wandler20 posted:Wow, what happened to Peters? I knew he was a head case but always had the rep as a shut down corner. Even at his best he wasn't really a shut down corner so much as he was a playmaker. He'd get beat, then he'd come back with a pick 6 or (when he cared enough) a strip. I think he had some nagging injuries and possibly he's been gameplanned out of the turnovers, since he made a lot of them by ignoring his assignment and jumping routes. That or Wade got him to stop leaving his assignment so paradoxically he's less dangerous, one or the other.

mastershakeman posted:Oh wow. I haven't really ever watched Jalen play so didn't realize he was that good I might be overstating him some because I really wanted him. But he's the best corner in the game right now if he cares. He does have to care though. And he's willing to be a problem when he doesn't.

Ches Neckbeard posted:Another reason college football is superior. One game sucks I can switch to the next. It won't happen because the networks would never get together on it, but a college football red zone would be absolutely amazing. ESPN has goalline I guess but that only get the games ESPN has the rights to. Like, I want a channel that will automatically take me away from some Big 10 game and show me New Mexico/New Mexico State when something funny is about to happen.

Kendall Fuller is out tomorrow and Bashaud Breeland is likely to be out with some personal matter I guess? He's not injured but might not be playing. The Chiefs might play with 3 dressed corners. Luckily that position is really deep and there's no reason to...ah gently caress it, Elite Joe Flacco back in business.

Going by the last few weeks he'll look awesome, then get dinged, then look like a normal qb. The ankle ain't right for sure, he was hobbled Sunday and there hasn't been enough time to actually heal. e: Like he never gets to the point of actually sucking, but he's noticeably worse when he can't move.

Kansas brought in Les Miles and their defense is better. Their problem is they're Kansas and even if it sorta works and Les is a great recruiter he's not going to outrecruit Texas.

PupsOfWar posted:is mahomes the only qb to ever get injured on a qb sneak I'm sure he's not but it's pretty rare, and even rarer to have this type of injury I'd think. Like you could see a concussion or maybe shoulder injury being possible. When he was first lying Didn't expect that his kneecap had shifted three inches to the right.

MJeff posted:Of course the Lions are the only NFCN team to have to face a healthy Mahomes. He wasn't even healthy then! Well healthier at least. Yeah Green Bay and Minnesota as long as Dalvin Cook stays upright should be losses for KC And now I'm done even thinking about this because if he's out for the year or longer which is still a significant possibility it's just...like roll with Matt Moore because the only thing you might do is spoil the Raiders season. Or the Chargers if they get healthy. e: In other news it's the morning after I saw my quarterback's kneecap on the side of his leg and I am still sad.

He wasn't actually good but I always remember Travis Jervey in these conversations. He did make a pro bowl once looking him up. Actual answer is probably John Riggins? Depending on how you feel about Mike Alstott I guess.

ELO Musk posted:Mike Vick was first overall and was only one inch taller though, was anything shorter than 6’ at all straight cancer? I remember when Chase Daniel was going through the draft process he said the best thing he accomplished was measuring at 6' flat. I mean, it didn't get him drafted, but it was definitely something that went around all the damned time and presumably still does in a lot of front offices. There are a lot of dumb things lifelong football guys believe.

PFR has starters and snap counts (and all the stats obviously), but not rosters exactly. e: here's the Pats/KC in the regular season last year, scroll down to just before the play by play section.

Those usually aren't set until right before kickoff. Whatever team's SBNation page usually has it, or someone on twitter. I guess I usually get the inactives from twitter these days but you have to like, use twitter and follow reporters who would tweet that. Which I'd completely understand if you don't want to do.

Aaron Kromer if anyone else was wondering. And yeah he punched a kid for sitting in beach chairs and threatened to kill his family. He's also the guy who anonymously said a bunch of poo poo about Jay Cutler when he was coaching with the Bears. Now he's the OL coach/running game coordinator for the Rams, so he must be pretty good at coaching since he seems to be a shithead in general.
