Rosen isn’t even going to beat 99 year old Fitzpatrick for the starting job. Murray will lead the Cardinals to a Super Bowl win against the browns. Book it.

There is no reason for Miami to start Rosen now. Fitz is the ideal qb for a tank job--exciting enough to generate buzz and make games fun, crazy inconsistent enough that you can still lose even if you come out hot. He's not some low ceiling Tannehill guy who will sit in the starting spot because he's risk averse, he's absolutely someone you can bench for the savior Rosen week 6 if Rosen looks good enough.

I like a lot of what Miami is doing, hope Rosen gets good so the Pats finally have competition in that shitass division.

:siren: SCHOTTY HAS DISCOVERED THAT RBS CAN CATCH PASSES :siren:

https://twitter.com/FieldYates/status/1158883926812721152

Interesting loophole, maybe he thinks it's still a run if the pass is to a running back

I'm reminded of week 3 last year against the Cowboys when people realized the team hadn't been using play action basically at all. Pete was like, "we'll talk about using more play action" and Schotty went "whatever you say boss" and played a poo poo ton of it the rest of the season.

He's like a child who discovers how to do something new with their arms and proceeds to do the same thing 40 times

Also trying very hard not to get too hype about DK

Jazz Hands

Yeah, we’ve got something to work with there. Fingers crossed.

Jazz hands sound like a terrible way to catch a football though

Man, WR cuts are going to be rough this year.
Like, they're almost certainly keeping five already, Lockett, Moore, Jaron Brown, Metcalf, Jennings. So unless there's a surprise cut of Brown (against what team has been saying), Moore (was very productive til he hit the rookie wall), or Jennings (4th rounder people seem excited about) then it's a lot of competition for one spot.

Probably down to Ursua and Ferguson, with tiebreaker being who they think will sneak onto the practice squad. But that also leaves out Keenan Reynolds, who seems versatile and useful.

Yeah Clowney isn't happening. After Percy Harvin and Jimmy Graham I think Carroll and Schneider are over big trades for high upside athletes. They want young cheap potential or older role players.

So basically they really hate the Raiders and want them to suffer as much as possible

As if the Raiders need help making that happen

Anyway hope DK is okay but I'm not worried about the offense. Russ to Carson, Lockett, Brown and Moore was perfectly adequate last year, and I like the looks of a few of the new guys. It's the defense I'm worried about. No pass rush to speak of without blitzing.

Oh yeah, that was massive! Perfect timing.

How on Earth did he know? Must have been looking at the returner's hands and eyes, right? There's no way he could guess that.

Seahawks preseason game was fine, first team offense looked good. Dissly played, which was :toot:. Depth looked real bad, mostly because the o line depth was terrible--but most of those guys aren't making the team.

Ethan Pocic filled in with the 1st team and looked good, which is massively encouraging. He's very versatile and has the skills to play any interior line position, but he's never had the size. Him improving makes me feel much better about the line's resilience.

The defense looks kinda bad overall, but they'll shut more things down with the starting LBs out there. Definitely going to see more blitzes this year though.

Gotta say, the 1s on offense looked great, albeit against the Chargers backups on D line. O line is big, tough, and actually looks like it knows what it's doing. Russ looks exceptionally comfortable, and is even keeping the ball more than he has in years. ETR, no matter who you are.

The defense, on the other hand, is going to be a problem outside of the linebackers.

I think they want him back, but if they cut him now and sign him after week one his contract isn't guaranteed.

Yeah he's a vet so he's not subject to waivers. Team likely asked him to stick around and wait for a contract once they can free the roster spot, I bet he'll be on the roster soon. But he's more expensive than the others guys he's competing with and has made plenty of mistakes to go with the big plays.

Anyway what the hell is this, please don't tell me you did what I think you did Schneider

Carroll believed in establishing the run, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter--tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther....

A lot of the impressions from the league seem to be that the Bengals are utter trash and Seattle is looking bad for winning by a single point in a medium scoring game.

I'm not sure if I'd go that far because I really was impressed by the Bengals we saw. They're not a great team, but they played well yesterday and we know John Ross is one of the speediest players in the game period.

I also think the predictable cover 4 defense the Hawks were coming out in was not helping them, it was too basic and allowed Andy and Zac to pick the gaps apart and move down the field. There's something to be said for keeping the play in front of you but there's also something to be said for getting loving stops and being aggressive.

Ticky-tack PI call notwithstanding, it looked like things got better when they switched back to man coverage. The team played like poo poo but I'm not worried, they always take a while to shake things out for whatever reason. Tedric may be this season's Cary Williams though, I wouldn't be surprised to see him gone soon.

Seahawks are letting fans vote on the greatest single play in team history - link, with videos. The choices are:

* Winning that trash-rear end 2014 NFCCG
* Richard Sherman’s tip in the non-trash 2013 NFCCG
* Beastquake
* Steve Largent laying out that dude in the 80s

Greatest single play is the Beastquake. The true debut of the Carroll era, the first major sign we were onto something, and (oh yeah) one of the handful of most outstanding plays in NFL history, period.

Anyway, shameful lack of run establishing from Carroll here. Say what you will about the Niners, they're keeping the faith:

Bengals and Panthers :psyduck:

Bengals hired a McVay understudy and are trying that thing.

Panthers...are dumb, but also their best offensive player right now is a pass catching running back which probably explains some of that number.

E. I mean it's early, too, so there is some SSS here. CIN abandoned the run vs SEA because the SEA D is much better against the run than the pass. Against SF they didn't have much neutral game script at all, and you don't tend to run when you're losing. Add in Mixon being hurt and you may as well air raid.
