Jeremy Hill is out for the season with a torn ACL.
If that's a catch then I'm irresistible to women.
Even in real time you could see it moving all over the shop.
It's time for Sexy Rexy.Quote:

That shot Stafford took seems to have woken him up.
And he's back asleep. Fucks sake.
He's going to be dead by the end of this if they don't take him out.
He's done, Fox.
Woof.
Jets are slapping Detroit hard.
Stafford :lol:
Would never have predicted this after Darnold's first pass.
Going to be riots in Detroit.
Not so easy when you're not standing next to Brady and Belichick it seems.
It seemed like every time Stafford got hit it knocked more skill out of him.
Can anyone explain the Browns thing to me by the way?
I understand that Cleveland isn't a big market (yet big enough to have a team in every sport) so won't get the best players but how do you manage to be so consistently bad in a sport that rewards being total dogshit. Not winning an opening game in 14 years seems like madness to an outsider.
You'll get who you want in the NFL if you pay. They've been held back by bad coaching and management but I suppose it is a bit of an oddity that you keep hiring idiots.Quote:

They've had a long run of buffoons but there must be something about the place too They're basically a new team since 1999 (The Ravens are the original Browns) and they've drafted some shockers in their 19 years.Quote:

Edit - actually, the original owners son bought villa and owned the browns after he died.
TBF the Cavaliers are also a massive joke outside of drafting LeBron so maybe there's something in the water.
Problem with the NFL is that there's never a 100% sure thing in a draft like James was in the NBA, plus you need more than the one to make a team up. They have missed so many times though.Quote:

He's just signed for the Patriots though so watch as he makes twenty TD catches.
Didn't help that for 2 years they employed Sashi Brown as their GM who was a lawyer.
They also couldn't draft a QB for shit although I think Baker Mayfield might finally break that curse.
Even the surest thing of all sure things in the last two decades (Andrew Luck) has largely been meh in the NFL.Quote:

Don't blame them really.
Falcons season is over in the first week. They’ve lost Deion Jones to IR now.
No linebacker will ever make or break a team's season any more.
No, but losing a star linebacker & safety, plus the offence still looking like a complete shambles, makes it pretty hard to get anywhere in the NFC. The defence is still pretty good, to be fair, although I feel like the drop from Jones to everyone else is massive.
The NFC South is Tampa’s for the taking as long as they don’t put Jameis back in.
@Dan are we getting out of our division alive? :baz:
The run game really opened up for the Eagles after their injuries. It's what got us the win.Quote:

I've enjoyed listening to an American sports podcast over the summer but now footballs back it's all football so I need a quick refresh.
Wide/Inside Receiver = the guy the QB throws to?
Offensive lineman = The guy that stops the QB getting sacked?
Full back = No fucking idea but apparently they're irrelevant in the modern game anyway?
Plus: How much does the guy that's only job is to punt the ball get paid? That seems like a nice job to have.
Full back is is normally lined up behind the QB in front of the running back and the main job is the run ahead of the running back to lead block for him. They'd also on occasion catch a pass or run themselves in short yardage situations as they're normally fairly stocky. As teams have gone towards more passing with 3 and 4 receivers they've become expendable for the most part.Quote:

Linemen correct too. They protect the QB on pass plays and open holes for backs on running plays.
Punters range from around half a million a year to 4 million a year, but contracts are very strange in the NFL.
Here's the punter salaries for 2018.

Oh yeah that was the other thing, Running Back? Is a running back just a receiver that comes from the pack?
And how the fuck does the passing rule work because I saw someone hike it to a QB who passed it to someone else who threw it long. That's like NFL Street shit to me.

Jesus, he's one of the best coverage linebackers in the league.Quote:

The play you refer to is called the Fleaflicker. The QB has to pass the ball backwards in order for the RB or WR to then throw it forwards. The downside is if a backwards pass is not caught, it's counted as a fumble and fair game for the defence to go and grab it.
Running backs main job is to take a handoff from the QB and run the ball. They can also catch passes too. Catching is more common these days so you'll see RB's ranked more in total yards than just running yards.Quote:

It's rare though and normally used as a trick to fool a defense. A player that catches a forward pass can also pass it backwards but that's very rare too.
You did if Sean Taylor was around:Quote:

It was also in the pro bowl (all-star game) where any sort of tackle is pretty much banned.
This is quite possibly the greatest use of the lateral ever, by one of the top 2 receivers to ever take the field.

Ed Reed loved a lateral, this was probably his best:

Going back to the Browns, I heard last night that the Quarterback with the most wins in their home stadium since it opened in 1999 is Ben Roethlisberger. :lol:
I went to the game lol what a long ass day. Then having to drive back to Orlando after was miserable.Quote:

And he's been placed on IR with De'Lance Turner getting the call up.Quote:
