    Jags game last year ???? Plus back issues will end him. He could be good but never will be the superstar force of nature.

    :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: right when @Emperor Adriano mentioned trades, I immediately thought of the co-commish and then later you called him out. He is always the first guy to offer a deal. Heck, he is even trying to work deals when the draft is still going on.

    He really is during the draft. Me and you are usually proud of our drafts or at least moderately like him. There just aren't enough people to rip off in that lg to make it useful to trade. Don't get it. The waiver wire and trying to find diamonds in the rough is time consuming enough

    He thinks he'll find someone who will overreact to not having the draft they hoped. In the past, he used to burn the Eagles fan who used to always take Eagles, but he's been better about that in recent years.

    By the way, I made some adjustments to the league after hearing the suggestions. I reduced the scoring for defensive players. I did that last year as well and I think it diminished some of the impact they made, so let's see what happens this year after another reduction. I always reduced sacks on QBs to a half point from a full point. The 4 points for a TD is standard. I used to run 6 points for a passing TD and 2 for a pick, but QBs simply dominated in that set up, especially with how passing #s are nowadays.

    Listening to the call in show and I agree with the Cowboys fans on Barkley. Like I said before, I wasn't impressed with his ability to get the tough yards in college despite having the size. And yeah, people are overlooking the line like the Giants added 5 new pieces. I think Solder is overrated. I do like Hernandez and think he will be a mauler, but that's not enough yet.

    I was fine with the 4 points for td, I don't get why Giff was bitchin about that. I looked over the scoring and it looks pretty damn good to me.

    And I love Schurmur but I'm not sure that fixes everything either. We'll see how good he is receiving because that is where I see a lot of his chunk plays coming.

    Giff gave him the kiss of death. Literally two hours after he says that, he gets hurt.

    Every year, Jay is defending his boy.....

    In 2017,
    Oh, man, I love Rob Kelley,” Gruden told reporters earlier this week at the NFL meetings in Phoenix.

    https://www.nbcsports.com/washingto...ob-kelley-would-also-love-drafting-special-rb

    Now in 2018,
    Jay Gruden was asked to evaluate his running backs and the “possibility” of keeping Robert Kelley, Kapri Bibbs, and Bryon Marshall. He addressed Kelley right off the bat.

    "Possibly Kelley? Kelley has had a great camp,” said Gruden. “I don't know if anybody has been out there, but he looks very good.”

    He talked about the other backs, but none of them got the level of praise that Kelley got.

    You can bring the horse to the water but you can't make him drink. I'm rooting for jay but he just will end up getting in his own way. I find his incredulous response about Fat Rob hilarious tho. I have my favorites but I wouldn't start rildo if I just signed Malcolm or Vitinho. Jeez

    Now I get to hear Paul Richardson hype for a month and hear comparisons to DJax when they aren't even close...

    don't worry, we'll have games on sunday soon enough. Until then 85 % of fanbases will hype up their players until they are smacked around week 1, then they quickly turn on everything and anyone.

    What makes it worse is even the media pushes the narrative.

    powerful bucky brooks. Great take and maybe i'm overrating teams like the cowboys,jags, and even skins. Feared the rule would be bad but after watching that game last night we will see like 6 or 7 calls a game. Any violent hit will probably be flagged unless nfl readjusts.

    It's probably the case that they're flagging frequently in preseason to "set the tone" and will back off in the regular season.

    I tip my hat to Buffalo on the Coleman trade. Unless I am missing something, it’s a low risk, high reward deal. The Redskins should have inquired but they probably love Paul Richardson too much.
