Popular Post T0mShane Posted May 29 Popular Post Share Posted May 29 Surprised no one was doing the tweets. 1. Lazard apparently sucked today, dropping a TD from Rodgers, then getting bodied by Stiggers on a back shoulder throw that dropped incomplete. Said it at the time he was signed: Lazard isn’t a contested catch guy despite his size and him and Corey Davis are redundant in that they both suck. 2. Javon Kinlaw hasn’t shown up yet. Can’t believe they burned $7 mil on this career malcontent. 3. Sounds like Rodgers had an up and down day, working on short stuff. DJ Reed and Quincy Williams had DPIs in the end zone against him. Tyrod hit on a bomb to some dude. 4. Braelon Allen is the early leader for the RB2 job, and Abanikanda is at the back of the pack. 5. Tyron Smith stonewalled Will McDonald on one rep, but got deked by Jermaine on another play. Will McDonald cooked up the Pitt tackle we all like. 6. Sounds like Fashanu was getting his ass kicked today by Jalyn Holmes and others. 7. Michigan freak Braiden McGregor got some pressures today. Malachi Corley left with an injury and ended up watching practice. 12 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt39 Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 This really has nothing to do with this report, but my concern with Fashanu is I’m worried the Jets just went with the consensus without really digging enough on him as a prospect especially compared to the other tackles who went after. And the fact he “fell.” I liked both of the Polynesian kids especially the guy who Pittsburgh drafted. And their history of drafting well compared to the Jets is just another hmm. Of course they swiped Jones last year too. Fashanu just from a first impression, I don’t know if he has that nastiness you need. 2 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fashanu just from a first impression, I don’t know if he has that nastiness you need. It was weird during the draft process, all the connected draft gurus all had Fashanu dropping but none of them really explained why considering he would have been a potential top five, ten pick in last year’s class. The presumption was that maybe he was a little soft. PFF’s guys said he had the biggest disparity between run block grade and pass block grade that they’d ever recorded in a first round tackle (iirc). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, Fautanu is being penciled in as the Steelers starting RT. Joe Douglas better hope he got it right. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're moving Jones to LT? He sucked last year. Risky move, though Fields doesnt need a great OL to get off, as he showed in Chicago. Still my favorites to win the SB. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least with Fautanu they can fall back on the report that he has some lingering injury issues, but yeah. Lots of tackles picked after Fashanu that—if Fashanu’s issues are Andre Dillardish—it’ll sting. Amarius Mims is reportedly impressing at Bengals camp, etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Too bad we had to go get every stinking hobo bum in this league on the team because they are buddies with Rodgers. At least this year after Lazard is inactive week one we can move on from these dogs. (Though the biggest french bulldog, Hackett will still be around) Douglas as usual will have rose petals tossed at his feet for drafting two rbs this year becasue the guy he drafted last year stinks to high heaven. I've always like Yeboah, a guy that came to the team raw but has improved a lot each of his first two years. Not worried about Fashanu, he is a raw rookie and we have the luxury of not sticking him out day to get abused. Bernard-Converse, what a total non entity. Nice to see Stiggers looking good early 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said the big challenge for him was that he had to throw more flat-footed because he couldn’t get up onto his toe to throw the ball. Saw one of those sketchy sports injury doc accounts post some film of Rodgers practicing a few weeks ago and asserted that—like Marino was talking about—Rodgers was throwing and landing a little flat footed to avoid stressing the Achilles. If true, I wonder is the blister is a result of that compensation. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe W. Namath Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Do you guys know who the youngest rb in the nfl thats not a rookie? Izzy Ibanakanda. Hes only 21 years old.

If true, I wonder is the blister is a result of that compensation. He’s still less than 9 months removed from a catastrophic injury. It’s been a long 9 months but it’s still only 9 months. It’s easy to forget that with how long this past season was and how long this offseason has been. He won’t be fully back physically until later in the summer and he will never quite move the same again 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
