This is the segment OP is refering to. I recommend it for those looking to understand specific RPO plays that the Eagles utilized. Reich probably had a hand in designing some of it.

From a legal standpoint, yes. From an idealogical standpoint my point is still valid.

All of this allowed through the provisions of free speech. Now, that is not to say I agree or disagree with the NFL's decision from an idealogical point of view. I think the distinction needs to be made that denying someone a platform to exercise their free speech infringes upon that right free speech itself. I think the issue is when players are punished for exercising it. I think the other issue with this is whether the policy is at odds with the CBA, something I am absolutely unqualified to talk about. All told, it is a very complex issue. I was merely stating that when taking a look at the specifics of the situation itself, it is ridiculous.

I think it is ridiculous that ones stance during an archaic tribalist song matters to anyone. It is of far more substance that these americans are exercising their right to dissent on which your country was founded.

I'd love to see Roethlisberger lose his starting role. He isn't a pleasant human being.

While I was having fun with my previous post, I think Luck will be fine. He isn't throwing not because he can't but because they are strictly following a rehab/prehab programme. Luck has a great football IQ, and even had a fantastic season (4,200 yards, 31 tds, 13 ints) with greatly diminished arm strength than previous seasons.

Maybe you should look up the definition of "fun". You clearly take life a little too seriously.

Gonna be funny when Luck throws 40+ TD's and we go 12-4.

In a division with JJ Watt, Jurrell Casey and the Jags' d-line, I don't buy the lower value argument. Add in how much better Castonzo and Kelly are going to look with Nelson on double teams, and his awareness to identify blitzers late in the play I think there is pretty solid reasoning behind it.

Year 1 he was a beast. Never reached those heights again. Not a scheme fit in a 4-3.

Our O-line is going to be huge. Castonzo 6'7 Nelson 6'5 Kelly 6'4 Smith 6'6 Mewhort 6'6

I understand the arguments for Roquan Smith or Trumaine Edmunds, but at the end of the day Nelson doesn't seem to have glaring weaknesses like those two players.

Freeney ran a 4.48 40, could bend the edge and had a deadly spin move.

Saw somewhere that he left Cowboys facility saying he will see them twice a year.

Seems to play bigger than his size. Pretty physical. Catches away from his body. Bit of wiggle after the catch, too.
