Re: Around the NFL Preseason week 3
 

[quote=NC_Skins;933881]This has nothing to do with the point I made. I know their CBs are horrible, but they are STILL going to be horrible with Vontae Davis. Not only that, but they are going to have to pay him major bucks to keep him there. So why spend a prime draft pick and pay a guy big time money for a team that isn't going to be competing for a while? I'm not saying that Davis isn't worth a 2nd round pick, I'm saying that the Colts have too many needs on their team to be making a trade like this.





:laughing-

Decent defense? Colts and "decent defense" aren't really synonymous together. They have great edge rushers and that's about all. They can't stop the run, can't stop the pass, and they'll be having to score a lot of points this year to keep up. They'll be picking in the top 5 again this year. Their only saving grace is they are in a crappy division right now.[/quote]

Look I was like you a few weeks ago with Indy being a bad team, but after watching Luck play and seeing that their defense is definitely not the worst in the league, I really feel like people are going to underestimate this team, they remind me of the 2008 Falcons when they got Matt Ryan...that team went to the playoffs, which I'm not going to go that far, but they look good enough to win 6-7 games.

Yeah, what an awful QB..and he would have been available once they released him. And Vince Young and Thigpin are better

Buffalo really needs to just Draft a QB soon, Fitz is ok but nothing special .

Well this is going to turn the whole league upside down. I was hoping we would snatch him up to be our third string practice squad assistant to the traveling secretaries assistant's assistant.

Btw I'm surprised no one has mentioned Peyton Manning today looking in regular season form. His arm definitely isn't 100% but it looks like Lucks which is good enough.

We are far from being out of the woods my friend.



[quote=CultBrennan59;933890]and seeing that their defense is definitely not the worst in the league, [/quote]

This team ranked 29th in the league last year in rushing yards allowed per game. (143) They just let a 4th string RB decimate them for 107yards with a 7.6 ypc. They lost their main LB and heart of the defense in Gary Bracket, so I'm not sure exactly how they are supposed to be better especially once you figure in their scheme change and their lack of personnel to run it.

Just to note, they were also 25th in the league in rushing yards allowed in 2010.

I realize we arent out of the woods. My comment was tongue in cheek. That being said as of rite now i dont think anyone is mentioning us in the qb issue department which is unusual.

I was teasing you, but you were one of the guys that wanted him here if I'm correct. (last season's off-season) I know Chase and Moore have always been your boys. :)

Wait till RGIII has a bad game, that will all change. :laughing-



I know what you are saying and yes, it is nice not to have to really worry about that position so to speak.

Russel Wilson named starting qb

Thats awesome. I like that kid. Amazing all the rookie and second year starters in the league.

3rd rounder too. Could turn out to be the steal of the draft.

With a specific set of options I had thought Young was worth a risk. Matt Moore? Solid backup but not much more. Sanchez? Well I do like the Jets and I think he's better than he's shown.

But no my dream scenario of the past few years would have been Bradford and Chase

[quote=punch it in;933961]Im going to give him up to two bad games.[/quote]

Yeah I agree. Ever since the 2008 draft with Matt Ryan(3) and Joe Flacco(18), its been pretty much expected that your Rookie QB should go in and start day 1 and not look like a 'rookie' anymore. Then you have Mark Sanchez taking his team to the AFC championship game in his first 2 years and Matt Stafford playing ridiculous when healthy and Josh Freeman looking good his rookie and 2nd years. There really hasn't been a QB since 08 who hasn't done well on his team and played awful like Rookies have in the past. Robert is going to be starting for us week 1 and I expect him to look like what these rookies in the past have looked like (Matt Ryan in 08), and not looking like Tim Couch of 2000.

Freemon has only had one good year though, and Sanchez sucks. But I agree with what ur saying.

Just for the record i was being sarcastic about the short leash with rg3. I agree with what ur saying. If i remember correctly couch looked horrid in the preseason - maybe had one good game. Ive already seen enough out of rg3 to know hes better than tim slouch. The deep balls will come with practice. Unfortunately some of that practice might be reg season games due to the lack of preseason playing time. Im all for it though. No injuries and no real look at our offense for opposing defenses. Im excited as hell for week one.

Re: Around the NFL Preseason week 3
 

Hey SS, or anyone else who might know, who determines the preseason schedule?
I just noticed the ravens had game 3 last Thursday and will have game 4 this Thursday, but the Skins just played on Saturday and the next game is on Wednesday. That just seems odd to me.
