Thats a great sign. Look at all of the talent we added over the winter..it shows. Brown,Beasley and Morse were key pick ups and Josh has a year under his belt. Nothing but blue skies... 4
Chandler#81 Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 Hoping he concentrates more on the Defense tomorrow. I’m very interested in V. Joseph, Big Ed, Milano’s return and our Safety’s. 1
TigerJ Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 Outstanding detailed write up. I probably know more about the practice session, having read the article, than if I had attended myself. 2

Not that hes wrong but I just keep that in mind when reading it. Its a good contrast to everything else though. He’s negative when he has to be .

This exhibition season..we need to baby him..not McCoy. We know what he has..his best efforts came post the Indy game..he was lost there,as Edmunds was.That game fired his ass up,without the '18 interception numbers. You rest the young dangerous possible Kentucky Derby winners...like him. He made us forget about Kiko.. Milano=Warrior.

I mostly recall during the EJ days the reviews were generally positive from Astro (or at least had a positive spin on it) while EJ was getting killed by the rest of the media. Many people on this board thought the media had an agenda against EJ, and looked at Astro's notes as counter-points. We all know how that turned out. I read Astros stuff, again not hating. It just is usually the rose colored versions of things IMO. 2 1

Well, it’s likely a team or two are going to lose their starting RB to injury. If they’re in a playoff hunt, LeSean would be ideal, imo. He’s still very shifty and this season clears his salary/contract. Perhaps a sign and trade. I know the tired line about his OL being terrible last year. Tired or not, there’s 4 new guys in there today from the line that started against Miami in the finale.
