It’s crazy how right the Jets got their OT/OL situation figured out vs. how wrong we got ours. 

Packers WR6 making back shoulder out of frame catches on the sideline but our WR1 can’t catch 😭

FanDuel will pay the Jaguars nearly $5M to compensate for the $20M that an ex-team employee stole from the team and lost at the sportsbook, per @espn.

As it should. I have no idea why it was ever legal. You used to be unable to directly aid a runner by pushing them forward. That rule needs to come back.

 

Or the defense needs to be able to counter with their own tush push.

 

Another way of potentially nullifying the Eagle advantage, in the event that the defense gets to deploy their own tush push, is to make an offense have to declare the push. Meaning, if they get into the formation to run it then they have to then commit to running it. No checking out of it, running a trick play, or even calling a time out. If you try to do any of that you get hit with a 5 yard penalty.

Sure would have been nice to have had a nice trade chip in Will Levis with all these QB injuries. 

McCarthy might be Mr. Glass. The best ability is availability. Already one season ending injury for McCarthy last year when he barely played now this.

Now confirmed Burrow will need surgery and miss 3 months.

 

 

I used to have Burrow over Herbert but I'm thinking about moving him down and Herbert up.

 

I know the OL has been bad there, but Burrow has missed A LOT of time in his career with injuries.. It's crippling when the QB is out that much. Totally derails your season. You can't have your QB constantly missing time like that.

These injuries are all a direct cause of lite camps less physical contact in training camp and preseason and more injuries will happen. 

 

Maybe... but I've also wondered if there is a longer-term issue that has roots in our food supply, that has weakened people in general over time. I mean... look at players in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Look at Earl Campbell and the abuse he took (and gave out). Is there any modern RB who could have the same run he had being as violent as he was?

 

Idk, just something I've wondered. I know nutrition and training is supposed to be more advanced now, and maybe it's just bad info/perception but it seems like players are more brittle now. Maybe people in general are more brittle? ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Players are in general bigger, faster and stronger. The more you push the human body the more likely you are to get hurt. Add in the guys hitting you are also the same super mutants and its kinda a given. 

 

They also ignored alot of stuff they shouldn't  have back in the day.
