NFL Week 1 (Sept. 10th-14th)

LenDale looks a lot quicker this year. That's a good sign.

 

Hopefully he still has his power

 

He still looks stout enough. He's closer to his USC weight and he had plenty of power then, so he should be good.

[ELCABALLO45]

WOW!

[SpongeWorthy]

lol gage lol

 

lol bironas lol

[dew1679666265]

Special teams not looking so hot right now.

[Roast]

That looked a little personal foul-ish.

 

and WOWWWW. What a crappy night for Bironas.

He hasn't been this weight since his freshman year at SC. He was 260+ in the national championship game against Texas (when he was a beast and totally outplayed Bush). He's always had great patience and vision for a good zone blocking scheme.

That looked a little personal foul-ish.

 

I don't think it was. It was a clean hit.

 

Very similar to the UGA/Ok St hit last week.

[ELCABALLO45]

My friend has a fantasy score of -4 right now, lol.

[SpongeWorthy]

I was gonna say that Polamalu looked like someone fell on his leg in a bad way on that FG.

 

Yikes.

[Roast]

Holy Sh*T. That polomalu play looked like it hurrrrt.

I thought he was lighter his senior year and then ballooned in the offseason. I don't think losing the weight will affect the power that much.

 

Hope Polamolu is okay.

 

EDIT: For what it's worth, the USC site has him listed at 235 his junior year (the year he declared).

Two deep passes and we couldn't get pressure on either. Blast.

[Roast]

He was wide open in the endzone, jeez.

[Roast]

WOw. Talk about wide open.

[dew1679666265]

Britt's looked like a rookie so far.

 

But not on that play!!!! \:D/

[SpongeWorthy]

I was going to rip Britt a little for playing like a girl and then he rips off a big gain.

[Roast]

Nice Catch, Gage.

 

Lets see if Bironas can complete a kick, now.

[dew1679666265]

Great way to answer Pittsburgh's TD!

[SpongeWorthy]

Was Troy Peezy playing that drive?

[dew1679666265]

I was going to rip Britt a little for playing like a girl and then he rips off a big gain.

 

He wasn't physical enough on the first deep interception and then didn't make a sharp enough break on the comeback route.

 

Both of those are things that work in college, but not in the NFL, though.

[ELCABALLO45]

This game has picked up

Yeah, I like Britt and thought Philly made a mistake by taking Maclin over him. I like Maclin but they could use a guy like Britt opposite Jackson, IMO. Maclin seems redundant. If he gets more physical and meaner he'll be good in the red zone.

I think the physicality will come with experience. The NFL is a different game from college and I think Britt will realize that.

 

He's extremely talented, though, and (very early prognostication) likely a great value at 30.

[Roast]

Was Troy Peezy playing that drive?

No. Which is why it was so easy.

[dew1679666265]

That's a big sack. I like to see William Hayes make plays.
