There’s only 1 Brady. Jones doesn’t even have the physical talent of Tannehill and he’s no Brady. Way over-drafted. That’s not his fault, but being drafted that high will probably ruin him.
NFL consistently has the worst announcers/commentators who simply carry the NFL’s water. Whether or not you like the NBA, they’re at least secure enough as a league to have commentators who aren’t afraid to say when the refs get it wrong. Picking up the flag was ridiculous. Nobody’s saying it wasn’t a close call.
One reason we might not be the best screen team is because teams have to stay home with Josh’s ability to run and make plays when he gets pressure. If I was a defensive coordinator I’d stay home and make Josh beat me from the pocket. Screens work best when the defensive linemen and linebackers get caught upfield.
Props to Hughes against the Jets. He was a force. I’d be curious though what PFF counts as a pass rush win? Is it a win when you get in the back field but totally give up contain and the QB easily scrambles for 15 yards like what was regularly happening to Hughes at beginning of season?
Gurley for a 6th rounder? Atlanta is pretty much done and he’s had a good start to the season. Looks like we’d only be on the hook for $1.5m of his salary. He’d be nice to add in the mix at RB.
Goff is extremely underwhelming. Any success he has is most likely the result of his innovative head coach. He’s got a slow release, isn’t a good athlete, doesn’t have a strong arm, slightly built and doesn’t stand strong against the rush.
Patriots still have 2 games against the Jets. I think if they lose to Bills this weekend, they will be in full tank mode and those 2 games against the Jets will feature 2 teams trying to both lose the game.
I’m sorry. That’s a fantastic play by Hyde. He separated the ball from the Receiver. So theoretically if a WR catches the ball up by his helmet, you’re not allowed to make a play on the ball? Any contact above the neck was incidental after he separated the ball. I get why the refs called it, but they need some leeway on a play where the defender is trying to dislodge the ball.
Looked like the Right Tackle was pretty was off the LOS. Almost behind the Tight End next to him. Jets got called later in the game for same thing and it negated a nice play.
