[Pigskins]

These refs sound like nervous wrecks when announcing penaltys, anyone else think so?

Retiring from what? Modeling? His so called NFL career was very short lived, he sucked that's why Vinny drafted him

Nice. Announcing retirement by Twitter is like breaking up with your girl via a text message.

Retiring now? He's peaking...had some nice special teams plays for the Giants last year...in fact, he got them to the Super Bowl by causing that butter-fingered rookie for the Niners to fumble again.

yeah they seemed like it..

[skinsfaninok]

on a serious note... Arizona is in TROUBLE... And on behalf of Andy Reid that guy was a genius when trading Ncnabb and Kolb.. They loaded up on picks for 2 guys that couldn't even play anymore..

The refs are going to quietly be a major story in the nfl this year with lots of blown calls.

Yeah, we'll take a comparable deal to the Kolb trade....Patrick Peterson.

Phins have 3 QBs but the reps aren't divided evenly.
They rotate the No.1 who gets the lions share and 2-3 split the rest.

I asked John Keim on Twitter how many reps RG3 gets, he said

not sure of the count. obviously it's a lot. normal for a starter.

Thanks again, I should have been more clear but I was curious about throwing reps against defenses (7-7, 11-11).

And tell Keim thanks, although he obviously didn't give the question/answer much thought.

I'm curious how many reps he's getting vs other QBs especially considering the tempo of the offense.
Philbin runs a decidedly up tempo offense by design with the aim of running more plays in actual games.
I'm sure that has a transfer effect towards the amount of available reps in their practices vs non-uptempo teams.

gotta run
