  1. Agreed. Especially when the hold is of the tickki- tackki variety on the other side of the field. Automatic first downs on a 3rd &35 should be changed. I don't have a perfect solution. Perhaps 10 yards but not an automatic 1st down.
  2. DB's seem to be holding one arm, forcing the WR to attempt one handed catches.
  3. Hank Bullough: That'll take the sails out of his wind.
  4. Right. It's very frustrating to have to look for a yellow flag after every great play. I have suggested for years a partial solution for at least some of the OL holding penalties. It should be mandatory that every Guard and Tackle wear a modified mitten , something less bulky but similar to a boxing glove. I realize that OL would still be able to arm bar and essentially tackle a pass rusher, but I think that it would reduce the flags which we all find annoying.
  5. Why does anyone care about a thread title. Geez.
  6. This. Even if he had to run backwards a few yards to get out of bounds.
  7. Early season games in Miami should all be 4pm games.
  8. I think that the Ravens like his backup a lot. That makes it a bit easier to let Lamarr go for a bundle of picks. There is nothing wrong with his arm strength.
  9. hits ? What hits ? His vision was so good that I never saw him take a big hit. I rate him right up there with Barry & Jim Brown.
  10. Blackshear looks like a steal.. Speed, shiftiness and pretty good size.
  11. The blocking seems fine for our other guy.
  12. Only if he stops running into the backs of his blockers. Maybe he needs glasses.
  13. This. I was just going to say that baseball pitchers not only throw hard, they also are snapping their elbow every time they throw a curve or slider. As an aside, I've played HS and College basketball and I have yet to see a torn ACL. I'm sure there are some but it is seldom compared to football. Lots of starting stopping and twisting but just a few knee injuries compared to football.
  14. How is arm length measured ? Is there a margin for error ? Can a 30 1/8 really be a 30" ?
  15. "Tre will be back" , MAYBE. When he does come back, will he have lost a little and is now good but not all pro like he was? I say draft a CB. They are the best athletes on the field.
  16. Yes. Also, no one seems to be thinking about -- what if Tre has a setback and either doesn't return or returns with his abilities impaired. I think that drafting a CB at 25 is the way Beane goes.
  17. Exactly. I'd like to know the average age of those who suffered an ACL injury. Then, I would like to see all the players in that age group. Then, see if there is a significant difference in who is still in the league three years later.
  18. Julio Jones is a hamstring waiting to happen.
  19. What do you do ? You receive and move down to the 35. It's 4th and 10. Do you go for it or do you try a 52 yard FG ?
  20. a lot longer than that.
  21. Can the season start a week earlier ??
