    JB threw him open.  Excellent work by the Colts QB.  If he threw behind him, that would probably have been a pick.  But Brissett threw it where only Campbell could get it, and Campbell delivered. 

     

    Brissett put that football right where it needed to be, fantastic touch pass.  Good running catch by the WR, but the pass was better than the catch IMHO.  That kind of touch pass is not easy to do and it's a good sign that Brissett is capable of creating offense with his arm even against good secondaries.

     

    Now he just needs to show he can do this kind of play more consistently, and get it done between the 20s. 

     

    Brissett is very close to breaking out, he's right on the cusp of "getting it" IMHO.  If he works hard, and I think he will, we're all gonna be surprised with what he winds up being.

     

    It was a dime, but JB did not "throw Campbell open." Campbell blew the doors off the CB and was wide * open. JB better not have screwed that up.

    Explain Antonio Brown going to the Raiders for a 2019 third-round pick (No. 66 overall) and 2019 fifth-round pick (No. 141 overall).  At the time, Brown had none of the baggage he's currently dealing with.

     

    With how quickly Fitzpatrick was moved, I'm guessing the market is about as "hot" for Ramsey as it was for Brown (i.e., it ain't that hot). 

     

    Brown is a seven-time Pro Bowler, four-time first-team All-Pro, and has reeled in 100 catches for 1,200 yards and eight touchdowns in each of the past six seasons.

     

    Doesn't really matter though, because Ballard would never make the call, and the Jags would never trade a player like Ramsey to an AFC South rival.

     

    One player is prime of his career (rookie contract, even) in one of the most valuable positions, and one is not.

     

    Minkah Fitzpatrick is a much better comp. Did he get traded for a 3 and a 5?

    Turay was the highest rated edge rusher in week one. He is ready to break out. He might end up with double digit sacks.

     

    Turay was PFFs highest rated player in the league. Mack #2 RB.

     

    Brissett was #10 QB with 78.6

     

    TY #9 WR 84.7

     

    Nelson #6 OG. Glow #8

     

    Ant #9 OT

     

    Hooker #7 Safety

     

    Houston 16 EDGE 78.9

     

    Leonard #55 LB 51.7. Seems fair, he looked rough.

  4. In the first half he had a lot of poor runs. Missed holes, missed cuts, * footing to the hole, running into back of guys.

     

    The second half the line started to dominate and Mack started to hit the hole. 

     

    A tail of 2 halves for sure. Need more of the 2nd half stuff, please.

     

    Mack still frustrates me at times but he clearly has the ability when the blocking is there.

  5. Dline did not slant/penetrate successfully vs the run and linebackers were not filling gaps well at all. Terrible gap discipline. Terrible tackling. Defense got bullied.

     

    Austin Ekeler is not good and we made him look like a god.

     

    That being said, I'm pretty happy with the offense. I thought we got too cute or conservative and/or predictable at times. But overall, quite happy offensively.

    Ryan Lewis may not be a ST Ace but in the three games he started last year for the Bills he recorded 15 tackles, 3 pass breakups, 2 forced fumbles and 2 special teams tackles. 

     

    Seems fairly productive when given the chance.

     

    Also, he ran a 4.37 so he's now our fastest DB.

     

    Fairly sure those stats were over the entire season. He only started 3 games but I'm sure he appeared (in some capacity) in most of the games during the season.

    You are assuming this front office thinks as highly about Chad Kelly as this forum does... We don't know how they feel, and if they are looking to trade for Hoyer, it doesn't sound great for CK. 

     

    I think it's a safe assumption to make. Look at the quality of backups out there. Kelly was consistent throughout preseason.

    The problem is that if he has to go in as CB - and he did - he can be a game changer as well, but in the negative way. I admit I don't know much about special teams other than kicking, but I can't imagine a gunner as game changer for extended period. It's not that kind of a position. A gunner can make turnover after turnover in one year, when all stars aligned, then no turnovers at all in the next, because it's not sustainable.

     

    So if the Colts can find a guy, who is not-as-good-as-Milton, but decent as gunner, and good at playing his regular position, my vote is on that guy. But I'm just an armchair coach, and I am aware of it.

     

    A 6th CB would never see the field. 6th CB would be inactive on gameday, unless he's a special teamer.

    Since our 5th WR is wide open as of now, I can see us keeping Rogers or Dulin for ST's instead of Milton to get the six best corners.

     

    Remember, this is real world, not Madden. All gunners are not created the same.

  10. I think I'd call that Ryan Kelly's "best Samson Satelle impression" rather than his "best play".

     

    If Luck doesn't step up, Kelly's guy gets a sack there. Way too much penetration, way too quickly.

     

    For example, observe Mewhort and Castonzo on the same play. Both have far superior blocks and dominate their defenders from the snap.
