Eli isn't even pushing the ball down the field to Engram, almost all of his passes were within a couple yards of the LOS. It's actually kind of embarrassing for Eli.

if he plays like he did in week one, all season, then we better give him a 5 year extension!

oh 100% dude!!! Agreed. Make them throw to beat you, stack 9 in the box. Eli physically doesnt have the arm strength to beat us deep (even IF his threadbare WR group COULD beat Tre/Wallace in single coverage). Get after Barkley and Eli in the backfield...period.

I don't think they are forcing him, I think they are rotating him at RT to get him experience and PT that he has earned. It is still a battle between Ford and Ty and thats OK, thats good! Let Ford get game reps. If you think this staff would play Ford just because he was drafted high then you don't get this coaching staff (all due respect). Four spots are absolutely locked down, and they are bringing along Ford slowly. If after three/four weeks its obvious that Ty is clearly better, than I Bet thats who we see as the starting RT moving forward. Feliciano and Spain are ABSOLUTE UNITS! Damn I love seeing them punish people in the middle.

They signed a new starting RG and RT, and their Center returns from injury. Not saying they have a GOOD line, but they def. attempted to fix it. Now they are banged up on the line after sunday, and could likely be missing their current #1 WR to concussion....so yea, we are in good shape but you still gotta play on Sundays

yea I read it before the Jets game, can't remember where (it was reputable)....pretty weird though right?

They were a major weakness for their team last year. They added a new RG and RT and their center missed last year and hes back...overall it isnt a strength of their team and from what I saw yesterday, the Cowboys d-line seemed to handle them. I don't think Sunday should be any different from yesterday from that stand point. We should handle the line and get pressure on Tin Man.

Im not interested in the percentage, I can remember at least 3 third and long situations that we let them off the hook, you cannot do that and win against good teams

Ok cool! good to know, I didnt hear him say that. Thought he got flat out benched, but its nice to know he wasnt benched.

you got a link or quotes about this? I didn't hear that until this post...

third down defense was suspect...great write up...

It'll be interesting to see what they do with Ford moving forward. He might actually be riding the pine (not the worst thing in the world right now). Ford started at RT, but didn't have the best couple of series and he was benched for Ty, then they started rotating series. But Ty got the entire 4th quarter I think. Feliciano is a stud, he needs to start at RG, period. Dawkins, Spain, Morse and Feliciano look to be pretty set, and played pretty damn good against a great d-line in week 1. Ford/Ty will be interesting to see how it shakes out.

weirdly enough....the Jets and Giants use two different visitors locker rooms, so the Bills actually WON'T be in the same visitors locker room. I have no explanation as to why.

we had more than a handful of chunk plays and I bet we get more than that on most game days...we have the makings of an explosive offense.

We moved the ball at will against the Jets for much of the game. Shot ourselves in the foot with turnovers, some were unlucky for sure. We punted twice all game. We had sustained drives of 7 plays for 37 yards, 9 plays for 40 yards, 9 plays for 8 yards, 9 plays for 50 yards, 8 plays for 85 yards and 8 plays for 80 yards....pretty impressive against what will end up being a pretty good defense, in week 1. I was happy with that. Score of this game should have been a blow out. But turnovers are a part of the game and we lost that battle, regardless of unluckiness of some. Third and long defense sucked for much of the game, the only real negative from that unit. Can't let teams off the hook when you get them where you want them.

cool, have been to the keys several times in the past couple years. love it down there. Islamorada is one of my favorite spots...obviously so is Key West, but thats its own beast.

sweet name and avi...welcome aboard what part of the keys?

Its only wednesday. Im not even playing sunday. I feel like im gonna barf. I just want this edition of this team to freaking have success!!!!

Well, and the fact that it looks like we actually brought in GOOD players for the line, whereas they brought in...remains to be seen. Both lines were pretty bad last year, but ours was likely one of the worst ever. Seriously.

cool, im glad you liked what you saw from Milano. I too like what I see from him, but for anyone to call him the leader of this LB unit must mean that person smokes a lot of crack

what has Milano proven exactly? He has had less than a full year as a starter, has shown flashes of being productive...but he hasnt proven anything yet. All of our LB corp is unproven (lorax I guess has had a few good years of production but he isnt even being mentioned in here for obvious reasons). Edmunds is the captain and leader of the defense, everything runs through him. Milano being a year older than Edmunds is not even close to an argument that "Milano is the leader" of this unit lol

I think the defense SHOULD finish in the top 5, easily the top 10. Historically good? I dont know. Injuries always happen, lets hope not to anyone vital. Need the offense to consistently move the ball and score points, that helps the D. I think you are expecting a lot from Trent Murphy, show me the baby. I think the D will be very good...historically good? IF that happens that is icing on the cake.

"the leader of the group is Milano"....whaaaaatttt???

I feel bad that you abuse your dog out of hate...please PM me your addy so I can send the SPCA and the Coppers after ya. People like you make me sick

agreed, and luckily McD feels the same way. if KJ wins the starting spot, that doesnt stop the development of Wallace lol. Why do people think in such absolute ways?
