    NFLPA renews call for natural grass on all fields after Rodgers injury

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    *Player is injured on turf*

    NFLPA: The greedy owners won't put grass instead of turf on the fields!

    NFL owners: It's CBA negotiation time. How about sharing the burden of the additional cost of grass fields?

    NFLPA: We ain't giving up one red cent to you greedy owners!  In fact, pay us more to play an extra game each season.

    Note: I am in favor of grass for all fields, but the media's (made up of mostly players, or insiders with many players relationships) one-sidedness on this topic pisses me off.

    I’m flying back from Seattle during the game tonight. Just finished our Alaskan cruise this morning. I didn’t see the option on YouTube to watch the game tonight (I have the NFL Sunday Ticket). Does anyone know if the ESPN app, or another website/app is showing the game tonight?


    Luckily the airline gives you the option to pay for wifi. 
     

    Thanks!

    I believe it is also simulcast this time on ABC.  May also be available on ESPN+

    Maybe he doesn't want to coach?

    I've never really heard him talked about in that way like Davis Webb was, would he be a good fit as a coach?

    If he was just around to be an "asset to the QB room" and his wife welcomes new players' families, that can be accomplished as a coach

    Joe Marino Breaks Down Pressures on Allen, blames quite a bit on pocket management

    Joe Marino did a play-by-play breakdown of the pressure on Josh and found that a lot of it was on Josh himself. Backing up into rushers who had been directed too deep around him without any pressure forcing that backup. Leaving clean pockets. And so on.

     

     

    It's in the first ten minutes.

     

    Here's an example of one play that was not Allen's fault according to Joe:  "#4 you had a completion to Stefon Diggs on a first and ten on a comeback route. Josh faced a little pressure in his face because DeMarvin Leal, the Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle executed a good bull rush on O'Cyrus Torrence who got worked back into Allen and it affected him just a little bit but it was still a good throw and completion to Stefon Diggs. I would say the reason for the pressure was O'Cyrus Torrence. His hands were wide and late and so DeMarvin Leal was able to get into his chest and work him back and so the pressure on that play, the responsibility for that is O'Cyrus Torrence."

     

    Interestingly, he blamed one play on Kincaid, saying he completely missed a chip he was supposed to make, which left Dawkins in an impossible position.

     

    His conclusion was there were 12 dropbacks, and he was pressured on six of them, including the sack. He blamed Allen's pocket management for three of them. "Two times, I "guess" it was Dion Dawkins but I thought that was more of a result of Josh Allen and his pocket management. So big asterisk, big air quotes around Dion Dawkins for two of them."

     

    Blamed Brown for one, one on Torrence and one on Dalton Kincaid.

     

    Marino also points out how outstanding the protection was for Barkley and Kyle Allen. Hmmm. 28 dropbacks, 4 pressures.

     

    One thing that wasn't really addressed was the penalties, which does make things a little worse than Joe lays out

    Those are actually all pretty sweet jerseys. No shame in any of them.

    I'm so pissed the sales guy talked me into Peerless when I walked into the store planning to buy Moulds.  "Every one wears Moulds, Peerless so trendy and different." Traded soon thereafter...

     

    *Edit: I was just a poor high schooler working at pizza hut back to then, so it really stung
