Integrity28 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Rather than re-hashing the same old Idzik, CB, Geno crap... here are some general observations/discussion points from the games I'm getting here (Pats vs. Eagles, Saints vs. Titans, Steelers vs. Giants on replay): Garrapolo looks legit Patriots (for 2 straight weeks) cannot stop the "move" TE (Reed and Ertz have eaten their secondary alive both in their joint practices and in games Pats have a "sneaky" amount of receiving options, no sexy names, but they look like a better collective group than last year Ertz is going to take a BIG next step, he's on the trajectory that I expect from Amaro (spotty as a rookie, poised for an explosion as a 2nd year guy) Landry Jones looks worse than Tebow throwing the football Shonn Greene will be a backup by week 6 Titans have quietly collected a good cluster of young WR talent, if they can develop them they should make Jake Locker look better than he is Did the Steelers change GM in the past couple of years? I feel like that team just keeps getting thinner and thinner on talent, out of character for that organization. They look like they are bringing the exact same weaknesses into this season that they had last year. I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saunders pick was so absurdly silly when a proven guy was on the market who could be our 3rd down guy KR/PR. Instead we waste a fairly decent pick on a guy who can only return punts and overpay for a back who's on the brink of being washed up but still thinks he's awesome.

Newyorkgiants10 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Realy like what i saw from garoppolo. played really well made smart decisions, looked calm in the pocket and made some great passes. Jimmy graham is a beast 5 catches 48 yards 2tds against titans tonight Eagles defense is going to be very bad again this year Patriots only weakness on defense looks like it will be covering tight end. that secondary with revis browner and mccourty should take care of recievers with ease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity28 Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 Bortles looked good yesterday Cutler is going to have a career year, and that Bears offense is going to be fun to watch Jordan Matthews.

I was hoping the thread could be about observations around the league. Not "Idzik is stupid because he didn't sign _______ " Grind out your agenda in the other threads, you aren't discussing "week 2" you are bitching about Idzik. To take you serious for 2 seconds... The Saunders pick is exactly how you add a KR/PR gadget play guy. You draft him. You don't sign him as a free agent... ESPECIALLY when you've got 12 ******* draft picks to use. I can't wait for the season to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Integrity28 Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 Justin Hunter is a stud. Yes. He and Kendall Wright could end up being a very nice home-grown tandem for years to come. Also....

I think Gus Bradley is more likely to stick to his guns and leave Bortles on the bench all year, Pettine is going to be a slave to the media... just like he was here.

This whole forum is being overtaken with whining about the mistakes of Idzik, and "we should have signed McCluster" is more of the same. in spite of how well last year's draft is panning out, all you guys seem capable of is embarrassing yourselves with daily emo.

He's going to be fun to watch. We can't draft and sign everyone, sometimes it's fun to not be miserable with envy and just appreciate what some of these kids come into the league and accomplish.

JetsFanInDenver Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 So i watched like 8-10 plays when Grappolo was on. First observation: He was under pressure and somehow gets a illegal hands to the face penalty on the defense. I though that flag would be for intentional grounding. Never showed the replay. After that Second observation: Plays really good. Third observation: Wow that pocket is so clean. Fourth observation: If the OL of rest of the league plays like that they would be called for holding every play. For some reason the refs don't see holding calls when the Pats OL is on the field.

Integrity28 Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 Seahawks are just unreal they have a serious shot at a repeat. Agreed. Random observation about them too... I think all 3 of their RB would be top 15 starters if they each played for a different team. They are so loaded with depth it's ridiculous.
