If we can't have home field advantage due to fans, I hope we have some kind of home field advantage, due to being familiar with the feel of our grass. If that even makes sense. 😀  I wonder if that's the same play where he dropped Foster, or if he did it twice. I think it was Love who dropped Foster.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max21 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 It sucks Harmon went down, we are very weak at the WR position. Inman is just a journeyman and looks like AGG will take some development. Kinda hope a good WR ends up like fournette and gets cut in the next few days and we can be like yo what up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If released, should the team sign him?  Hell yes! At worst he's an average to above average LT.  Geron Christian at LT is a journeyman. He is an impediment to both the growth and evaluation of Simba.  As it stands now every time Dwayne drops back he's likely to "feel" backside pressure whether it's real or not.  If we can afford Reiff we should sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooleyfan1993 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 has the lack of preseason been making anyone here itching for the season to start, or is it just me?  i feel like most other summers by this point, we’d have already watched 3 preseason games and we’d already have KINDA a feel for how crappy this team will look once the season starts. this year, all we have to go off of is training camp tweets, so the WANT to see just how we’ll look (especially under Rivera and JDR) is HUGE not entirely sure how much sense that made, it sounded good in my head though  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hasn’t hurt playing in such a terrible division.  The Patriots had the easiest schedule on defense last year per DVOA. Expect a significant drop-off this season.  Count me as team Brady when determining who gets more credit b/w him and Belichick for their dynasty. I think Brady’s going to have an early Broncos Peyton Manning-like resurgence on the Bucs the next couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we want him, we can make sure Philly does not get the chance when he is cut. Could just claim him so philly cant. Zombie's are fans of underhanded moves like that  He's a vested veteran. Which means if he's cut he's a free agent and can sign wherever he wants to.  If I were the Skins I'd consider offering the Bikes a 7th round pick to get him before he's released.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's a good coaching mind who is good at adapting to the players he has. But before he lucked into Tom Brady he was 41-55 as a head coach. Yes Cassel had a decent season with the Pats when Brady went down in 08 but I'm still leaning more towards that being closer to the exception than the rule. Jimmy G played in 6 games and while he looked pretty good, he was mostly a game manager.  Tom Brady is the reason for the Pats dynasty. I think BB will be shown to be mortal after all. Still a good coach, mind you...I'd never say he is a bad coach at all. But just not some a mad super genius that some make him out to be.  I remember watching a clip of BB and Brady reviewing film before a game and it was basically Brady saying "Yeah, this is what they're doing so we should to do this and this and this" and pretty much coming up with game strategy on the spot. And Belichick was basically just sitting there going "Ok, cool, sounds good". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malapropismic Depository Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Hopefully out talent at pass-catching RB's, combined with talent at OC, just might be able to compensate somewhat for a lack of talent at both WR and TE. Similar to how Cousins thrived here, when he had a healthy CT and creative OC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So other than CT, he did it mainly with Ryan Grant, Doctson, and Crowder at WR, and Niles Paul and Vernon Davis played TE most of the year.

Koolblue13 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Can't believe with the chains off Kyle Smith and this new regime getting exactly the players they want, guys like Gibson in an adult new style offense might be hugely successful here.

Vanguard Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 This scheduling issue is starting to get to me a little.  First they’d tell you Inside Training Camp is coming on a certain day, then it isn’t.  Finally it cam on.  Then the name change thing, thinking it would be the permanent name change and not the placeholder.  That changed it seems like overnight.  Then they say there will be a scrimmage.  Only to find out it’s not a scrimmage, it’s a practice.  Only thing I’m certain of is that the season starts Sept. 13th, I think.
