Bryce Young vs CJ Stroud - Both in the Draft now
Thrivefourfive replied to Thrivefourfive's topic in The Stadium Wall
Any idea how many five stars fail in college. All I said was he wasn’t a five star, at a school loaded with five stars, and he earned it. He didn’t come from the Trinity League either, or Corona Centennial HS. Speaking of Bennett (for some reason), I think he’s going to make an impact in the NFL. I like him a lot as a pro. A late draft pick, and to the right team, he could be a real NFL comer. It’s fun watching him spot some of these throws, if we’re allowed to enjoy these here -

Cincinnati is now down three starting O linemen. This has to be exploited! -
Bryce Young vs CJ Stroud - Both in the Draft now

Right around the time Burrow was doing his thing at LSU and Mahomes was doing his thing in year 2, I watched Stroud run a track meet offensive against a top notch opponent on a cold night CIF playoff game. It reminded me of what was happening in college and the NFL. He throws such a catchable ball. He’s talent just popped. Then he was wasn’t a five star, went to a loaded O St team, and earned it. I like that. Young has been mature beyond his years since middle school, and you’re getting a bonafide franchise face, with impeccable character. Sincere. He creates when there’s something of nothing, and runs QB like a point guard. His size is the only concern there, as I fear he’ll be tossed around like a rag doll. Tua. Russell Wilson is a tank. Young is not. These are the two guys. And we know who needs QB, so this conversation is now. It is interesting though that Detroit and Seattle accidentally have viable starters now, so I think those are perfect bridges for both rookies. -
Just for fun

Having seen both play pre college, and even pre high school, this is personally a fun topic for me. Where do you think this two land? What you you think are the best teams they realistically go to? Who do you have as a better pro, as we know things today? It’s tough for a team to move up considerably to a top five pick, so maybe we’re looking at teams drafting only in top 2-12ish being able to move up to get one or both. Will Levis might be a Josh Allen gift to a team after these two blue chippers are off the board — what team for Lewis. If Detroit could pull it off, I think that’d be great for Young or Stroud. And Seattle, that’s be cool. I think Houston hurts either one of them.

Collinsworth is a pioneer. Us older guys will remember his successful jump grok the field into a true co-host role on the best post weekend NFL show on TV — Inside the NFL. He’s never looked back. He’s pro Cincinnati (understandably), but anti-Buffalo (never knew why). He should be better next to Tirico, who’s better than nine toes out the door Al.

You know all it takes is one sideline guy to scream it, and then every DB screams to each other. Wonder what happened?? Crickets, like the non-squib kick last January at Arrowhead..?
-
Blitz. You have to bring a guy off that corner. DB, and interchange Edmunds and Milano at times for a different look, so you can run Edmunds off that edge as well. With pressure from that side, forcing QB towards gigantically long Rousseau is a good situation. But will they do that — No. Least creative pre-snap defense around.

Lewis should have been swinging an invisible axe from his right to left as the ball was getting to Jefferson’s finger tips. It’s completely unforgettable.

Absolutely the reason to NOT relax. One thing I do like this season is winning the gutty close games. I took them in the regular season because those games can go either way and the NFL season is an absolute grind. But at home against that ^^^^ I hate it, in the almighty playoffs…. Not relaxed one bit. -

Why I’m I counting 8 losses in the last 30 games played? -
Because Lewis didn’t knock the ball down and out of bounds on 4th & 18? That one. The one that contributed to cost the Bills the 1 seed? The poorly played, and most likely poorly coached jump ball. But hey, if he intercepted it, the Bills would have lost field position. Wait, that’s bad too.

Wow, must have improved her serve tremendously! -
Arm was moving up, not at the torque point like during the Jets game.
-
@rochesterfan Explain, Coach. This defensive is built for a dominant middle linebacker, like McDermott had at Carolina. Well, Edmunds isn’t that,, so what are we talking about here..
-
love it. But I do not

EASILY THE SECOND LEAST PLAYER WE COULD HAVE AFFORDED TO LOSE THIS SEASON. HA!
-
He sure as ***** does. It’s like he knows what to do with the football all the time. His sacks are smart too. He doesn’t lose the ball, he plays another play. The comparison is these big three, and it’s fair to like some thing more from some guys than others. I like a lot of what Burrow has upstairs. Not his fault he made Chase so freaking good in College that the Bengals had to have him.
-
Haters, if you can’t appreciate how Joe Burreaux has figured out how to play NFL football at this high a level after only one year starting in College, a knee hurt rookie year, and a new offensive line, IN CINCINNATI, then I just don’t know what to tell you.
-
Tonight we saw how a team that (only) scored 31 points controlled the game completely with HOW they play offense. It seems the Bills score 34 and they have no control of the game.

Drafting and FA aren’t coming during these playoffs. Where’s are heads ladies and gentlemen? We need to fix things this week, and beyond into these playoffs. What can be fixed? If it’s just one of those issues, we’re in big trouble. I’m hoping it’s more run schemes, and more timing routes. The deep ball is there — It’s not a weakness unless it’s overused. Defensively, I’ll take getting to the QB. I don’t think our DBs can stick long enough without pressure. Love the game management/timeout improvements — that’s a must have!
