Wouldn't be surprised if the coaches want their players running out every kick off. Get your ST players in the mentality of not holding, not blocking in the back, etc. There's only so much to critique from weekday practices.

Interesting. Thought he was out of the league

 

This does not bring me any comfort about the line.

 

Nagy claims it has nothing to do with Jenkins but I have a really hard time seeing how it couldn’t be. Really wish we found a way to keep Leno. Was such a big gamble assuming Jenkins would be able to start at LT week 1

 

Edit: he says nothing to do with Jenkins but then he says this

Watching his plays now. He's mostly placing the ball correctly, but everything is to well-covered receivers. I don't know if he had better options or if that's just what was there.

 

The throw across his body with 7 seconds left in the half was really impressive. I wouldn't mind a touch more arm strength, the ball takes a bit to get there, but he's definitely accurate.

From what people on Twitter were saying (that were at the game) almost no WRs were open in the first half. Dunno if that’s true but it sure seemed like it

It's funny because I've heard plenty people raving about Fields' arm.....From his pro day at Ohio St to the people at training camp. But I feel like he doesn't have a super impressive arm. Not meaning that as a knock as I think he's definitely got an NFL caliber arm and it's certainly good enough, but I always thought his arm was more Deshaun Watson than a complete arm cannon like Jay Cutler had and guys like Josh Allen have. I've heard people say, "haven't seen the ball come out with this much zip since Cutler" and I don't think Fields has that level of arm. Again, which is completely fine.

I saw Fields running to his left and side arm the ball back to lead a WR moving towards his right. He hit the wr in stride!

If that isnt arm strength in your head, you've never tried to make that throw.

 

 

He must judges a wr's speed sometimes, but when he does it's only be a 1/2 step or so

Yeah. It's definitely enough arm strength to succeed in the NFL. I'm just greedy and want Cutler-style zip.

Funny after yesterday to read this Reddit thread after Mitch’s first preseason game

 

 

This is exactly why I'm only keeping one foot on the hype train. It's always different this time, until it isn't. But maybe this time it is.

Its different this time though.

This is a disaster:

 

 

 

This is annoying (because I won't get to see any Tweets about Justin Fields doing Justin Fields things - but really hope it's not a lingering thing):
