  1. I’m still amazed that the internal culture that exists at OBD is so strong that players consistently seem to resign for slightly less than market rate. 
     

    Really happy for Taron, that’s life changing money for him and well deserved. Now do like Marshawn and take care of your body, your mentals and your chicken.

    What's the consensus on Heath Farwell?

     

    He's good, based purely on the eye test our ST play has been above average since he came onboard. Haack does look slow AF kicking punts, but that slow wind up + his better than average hang time has meant that he never outkicks our coverage which in a punt return situation is exactly what you want.

    My issue with the play was that Mckenzie needed to lay out to try and catch that ball. You cannot let it hit the ground. Running up to a few yards from it, stopping, and letting it hit the ground shows a lack of understanding of the situation.

     

    Agreed, it's a live ball as soon as it crosses 10 yards past the kicking team setup point. That being said I don't think he was even in a position to be able to reach it before the entire scrum reached the area where the ball ultimately landed. That ball basically went airborne and just dead hung for 1-2 seconds near the 25 yard line. When it finally became evident what was actually happening it would have been really dangerous to try and rush the scrum to make the catch. You really needed the hands team on the field for that kickoff in hindsight.

    This is a legit question.. We've had two SP blunders this year that cost us opposing TDs. Steelers blocked punt was a game decider, Washington thankfully made no difference.. but 2 major blunders in 4 games is not a good start/trend. 

     

    I would hardly call the second one a blunder, that was just a freak occurrence/force of nature. I'll eat my shoe if the WTF actually had that installed as a special teams play to make the ball just dead hover at the top if its arc, bounce at the 25 and then bounce back into the arms of Dustin Hopkins.

    Did they just say Mac Jones played in a hostile environment on Sunday night?


    yeah Troy that was at Foxboro. Has Aikman been enjoying too many edibles?

    Let me know when Stafford realizes Robert Woods is on the team.  What a disgrace


    he’s definitely realized it this game.
