Preseason Week 1 Thread

[spurraider21]

:lol garoppolo

also manziel with a nice first drive

[Darth_Pelican]

Cooks & Robinson both have very impressive TDs for the Saints. Browner limped off earlier but I'm sure he's fine.

Everyone seems to think Cooks blows up this year and will be heavily involved in their offense.

[jeebus]

Oh yeah, forgot about this.

looking at the box score, I see Captain Kirk is looking good...his typical fool's gold showing before he implodes after the 3rd week. McChrist is looking decent, would be a nice backup for the inevitable RG3andOut collapse/injury.

[DPG21920]

Rogers is going to murder the NFL this year so bad.

[Darth_Pelican]

Everyone seems to think Cooks blows up this year and will be heavily involved in their offense.

His first step may be the fastest in the NFL this season. He caught a little bubble screen and he was in the endzone before blinking.

[Avante]

Wait until ya get a look at Colt rookie receiver Philip Dorsett.

Jonas Gray!!!!!

When the Packers line up Jordy Nelson on one side and Jeff Janis on the other, that is the fastest pair of white receivers to ever be on an offense at the same time........ever! Nelson a Kansas state 100m champ. Janis a 4.30 flyer. Janis the first Packer to score in 2015.

Why is the Cowboy game black outed on the NFL Network in Cali, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr~~~~~~

The biggie in the first week for me....Winston vs Mariota. Beings rookies we should get a longer look than the vets.

[Chinook]

Rob Ryan's even anti-clutch in the preseason.

[Darth_Pelican]

Rob Ryan's even anti-clutch in the preseason.

:lol He called a blitz on 4th & 20. I know none of the players on the field at the time on either side are gonna be on the roster, but still, that was just plain ignorant. He's proven to be terrible and unintelligent.

He hit the wrong button on the playstation controller tbh..

Ah....no! But he is fast.

[spurraider21]

Pumped to see the Amari Cooper - Derek Carr combo on the field tomorrow. AC/DC :tu

Also crabtree has supposedly been the big surprise in camp... Would be cool to see a bounce back season given he's on a 1-year prove it deal

If Carr makes a leap this year we should be able to push 8-8. Last year he was thrown in there as a week 1 starter despite getting virtually no reps with the starters in camp. Not the case this year + 1 season of experience under his belt and improved weapons

[Blizzardwizard]

Branden Oliver destroying ankles as per.

That Pagano defense still stinks of shit though.

FIRE PAGANO.

[Avante]

Raider back Latavius Murray is 6-3 225? That can't be right.

Speaking of Raiders.

They had the worst offense in the league in 2014, yep, ranked 32. I definately don't see that in 2015. The addition of Cooper and Crabtree, huge. Murray a big upgrade also. Carr with some experience. I do see them being in the middle of the pack.

Anxious to see Cooper in the NFL.

[Kyle Orton]

Knee was decent tonight. Stats look meh but garçon dropped a wide open 65 yard TD pass on like the 4th play

as fast as he is, he is fucking garbage at catching deep balls

[spurraider21]

Raiders O was moving the ball well on both drives with the 1's... stupid pick at the goal line. just a poor decision by carr. run defense looks legit though

How did Cooper look?

[spurraider21]

How did Cooper look?
Carr's first 2 passes were thrown at him and he caught both. gets open really easily

[Silver&Black]

I just looked at the schedule and I'm anxious to see preseason week 3. Oakland vs. Arizona on NBC.

Cooper will probably see the most time in that game and it will be vs. Patrick Peterson and The Honeybadger. Let's see what he does that game...

[Silver&Black]

Buccaneers @ Vikings tomorrow night.

The beginning of the Jameis Winston era........sigh.

we played the cards pretty tough last year, should be a good game... but our secondary is really shaky. a lot of young unproven dudes. palmer should be able to pick them apart unless our pass rush really brings it

Went to Houston for the weekend. Staying at the same hotel where the Niners are staying.

I'm betting that you set that return up on a loop, popped a Viagra and worked on that old boner for about an hour.

Actually it brought about memories of Billy "White Shoes" Johnson, the old Oiler. I also thought of former Texas speedster little (145) Tony Jones a 20.2 cat, another speedy Oiler. Then there was Herkie Walls, remember him?

[SuperCam]

Cam beats what could be the league's best defense pre-season :toast

You could probably score some molly tbh

He will burn secondaries across the league, only to drop the pass time and again. Luck will have DHB flashbacks

Man I'm not old as shit like you.:lol I do know about Billy Johnson though. My dad talked about him.

I went to high school during the Moon era...Ernest Givens, Haywood Jeffires, Curtis Duncan, Webster Slaughter, Lorenzo White, etc. Had some good defensive players during that time too with Dishman, Lathon, Childress, Fuller and Al Smith.

Coaching held them back tbh.

Ask your dad about the the human fire hydrant Charley Tolar all 5-5 of him, he ws the Oilers fist 1000 yard rusher.

Those Warren Moon teams were exciting, Givens a lot like Lockett.

[benefactor]

700 fucking chances to score and nothing. Fucking hell.

[Silver&Black]

Jameis Winston:

1st series- One incomplete pass...bunch of handoffs to Doug Martin
2nd series- Awful. Sacked once. Two incomplete passes. 3 and out...
3rd series- Finally put a drive together. After getting sacked for -10 yards, he found V. Jackson for a 50 yard bomb. Ending up with a FG.

Vikings 9 Bucs 3

[Silver&Black]

4th series: :rollin Interception
5th series: Atrocious. High snap that was almost fumbled...resulting in a 10 yard loss. 3 and out.
6th series: See 5th series
7th series: By FAR his best series of the game. 5/6 passing. Drove the Bucs down the field with a few 20 yard passes. Finished it off with a 10 yard TD run. It was against the Vikings 2nd team defense...

Probably done for the night.

Vikings 23 Bucs 9 Halftime

[Avante]

You guys are kidding me.

FIST PRO FOOTBALL GAME.............................0K!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow~!

Are you referring to my Winston posts?

[benefactor]

Savage looks pretty good. Seems to have a much better command of the offense.

[Avante]

Are you referring to my Winston posts?

Yep!

[Silver&Black]

Yep!

Okay then Avante....show me the post I made where I said that this wasn't his 1st NFL game.

After you find that post, show the post I made where I said that his first half of football will tell me everything I need to know about the guy.

Then after you find both of those posts, find the one I made where I said that Winston had to play like Tom Brady in his first NFL game to not be considered a bust.

Good luck with that Avante. I know it's the guys 1st game...and I'm willing to cut him all the slack in the world because of it. I'll give him the same luxury I give every other rookie in the NFL. You've got 2-3 YEARS to show me what you've got. I'm not willing to start hearing trade options because of one half of preseason football.

this might make you feel better tonight. Your guy McKinney is leading the Texans in tackles so far in his first game against the 49ers.

connected with Jalen strong for his 1st TD catch for the Texans. :toast

[Silver&Black]

Is he getting 1st team reps or 2nd team reps?

Sorry...I'm not really caught up with my Texans depth chart right now.

he is currently listed as a starter on the Texans depth chart.

He brings up Texas speed and forgets Eric Metcalf.
Brown fans spit on your list.

Metcalf was a long jumper with good speed, he was nothing like...

Johnny Jones Olympian Jets
Jamaal Charles 10.18 Chiefs

Walls was also out of Texas.

in other words, he played the way he was expected to.

Football speed is a different monster.
The ability to start, stop and change directions quickly rules. This ability is known as acceleration. Eric Metcalf was a better football player than all mentioned with the exception of Charles if he stays healthy. The End.

Who cares what a rookie does in his first preseason game was the point, does it really matter, nope! To the extent you took it anyway.

Your ignorance about this is amazing. That list of world class sprinters who played in the NFL is a mile long, and cool trying to tell me bout football speed ok, I ran track and was a running back.

Don't try and talk track/football, ok?

All I did was post what he did on every series he had. At no point did I say that his NFL future will be based on what he did for 7 series in a NFL Preseason game.

You're just looking too deep into those two posts...and trying to find things that simply are not there.

So do you run in straight lines in a lane?

Football at its very basic level is about chasing and being chased. Of course it helps to be fast. But we have seen the failures in trying to make track guys football players.

Stop now before you get mired in another track/football fail.
Where did you play football, what year, and what level?

I'm not talking about trying to make sprinters*** footballers. I;m telling you there have seen TONS and TONS of football players who were also great sprinters, ok? So when they cut, stopped , cut, accelerated it was at another level. ok?

What do..

Henry Carr
Larry Burton
Ollie Matson
Ron Brown
Bob Hayes
James Jett
Sam Graddy
Jeff Demps
Gerald Tinker
Johnny Jones

all have in common? They were all Olympic sprinters/footballers.

I played HS ball, Naval base. City League, 20 years oif organized ball.

**** Tommie Smith, Frank Budd, Ray Norton, Jimmy Hines.

Do it now.

Well then how about...

Randy Moss league 60/200m champ
Herschel Walker 10.23
Deion Sanders 10.26
Darrel Green 10.08
Bo Jackson 10.33
Willie Gault 10.10
Chris Johnson 10.34

C.J.Spiller, Percy Harvin, Mike Wallace, Reggie Bush, Devin Hester all track guys.

Then I could knock out another 100 track guys on NFL rosters.
