This team has few superstars, but no weaknesses. Even our "weakest" players made plays: 1. Much maligned CB2 Levi Wallace had an excellent sack of Jackson, hanging on to his jersey and spinning him around. 2. Fan punching bag Trent Murphy held his own 1-on-1 with Lamar in the backfield, containing Lamar till the cavalry arrived, resulting in a sack. 3. Still not playing at the level he was at last year prior to his knee injury, Harrison Philips stuffed several inside runs. 4. Nobody heard Ike Boettger's name all night, clear indication he was holding his own. 5. Devin Singletary.....uh....actually, I would not be disappointed if he ceased being our every-down back.

When Josh scrambles (laterally or forward, when he goes backwards it's usually a disaster), I now expect him to make a daring downfield pass. Usually in a spot only our guy can make the play. When Lamar scrambles, I only worry he makes it to open field (despite his excellent across the body throw to Brown in the 3rd). I agree with those who say he's one dimensional: though he's a decent pocket passer, his style can be corralled by disciplined defense.

Star QBs get that call. Brady and Rodgers have been getting it for years.

Score will be 28-24, I just saw it in a dream. It looked like the Ravens had the 28. Was hard to see the scoreboard. You know how dreams are.

I did. See where it got me.

Someone please try to convince me he's not going to become Josh's Davante Adams. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/D/DaviGa01.htm rookie year vs: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/A/AdamDa01.htm Check out combine results: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davante_Adams https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabriel_Davis

...all 5 members of the Electric Company, the line that blocked for OJ in the early '70s, weighed between 253 and 255 lbs? That's a full 60 lbs. less than the average lineman today. ...the heaviest Buffalo Bill ever was Michael Jasper, who weighed in at 375 lbs (he lost weight at the request of Chan Gailey). His playing weight was as high as 450 lbs in college.

Josh hits many of those long passes this year. But, the Jags now have Campbell and Ngakoue - I'm sure their presence changes things.

Jets fans are the worst. Sorry New Yorkers. When you're at someone else's stadium, it's alright to be loud during plays, but maybe keep a low profile otherwise. Dolphins fans are OK, usually respectful, just there to watch the game. Pats fans are arrogant, but mostly peaceful. Jets fans are the doucheyest, most loud-mouthed, aggressive turd-burglars I've ever seen at the Stadium. Even Raiders fans are better behaved.

Definitely not fake. The uppercut at 12 sec. is the stunner, the hook at 15 sec. is the knockout.

Didn't Foley break a bunch of ribs, get concussed, lose teeth, break his jaw, etc.... on this fall?

Now that's living!

You'd have to use significant draft capital to get a player like that.

I'm not banging the drum for Yeldon, but can someone explain why he never really got a lead back role? No burst? Vision? Too easy to bring down? I've not watched him enough. Pretty good resumé though. Injuries plagued his first 2 years, then the Jags drafted Fournette and he's never had a chance since. https://tdalabamamag.com/2020/05/16/t-j-yeldon-a-forgotten-man-wants-back-in-the-nfl-limelight/

Fun stuff. Thanks.

Think he's not into the game?!

Robert E. Howard, is that you?

Great find. Interesting. Would like to see that final column if possible.

Appreciate it. I wouldn't have been able to record. Too terrified.

Two theories: 1. weak biceps (honestly - never wondered why inside backs have huge pipes?!) or 2. simply technique - not high and tight enough.

True. And farewell to Peart, the true king. This too: Xan·a·du /ˈzanəˌdo͞o/ noun an idealized place of great or idyllic magnificence and beauty. "three architects and a planner combine to create a Xanadu"

Xanadu.

Well done.

What am I watching?!
