Bradford is too conservative. I think he makes the OL look worse than what it is. Last year, he was only the 11th most pressured QB (Luck was 28th or so); yet, you would swear he was the most pressured.  

 

Watch the game next Friday on NFL Network. We play Seattle.

 

Bradford was the BEST deep ball passer in 2016, and Andrew Luck was a close second.  The OC is conservative, and/or Sam has to go to hot routes or check downs because the O line too often doesn't give him time for receivers to get open.  And the receivers have to get better at route running and get open when the O line does protect.  it's not all on Sam Bradford. It's a team game, and everyone has a job, and has to do it well.

 

And game 3 is the game to watch starters, they actually let starters go one drive into the second half, and stray from vanilla offense and defense some.  Next game wont show me much on Sam.

 

We'll see.

What a stupid idea these sideline interviews are. You can't see the game because they ask Darius some irrelevant questions and they want us to see his shoes.

I cannot agree more....

..somebody from the local TV station...getting a little face-time..

.......pointless..meaningless

Who / What?

 

The latest news on Hyder, very bad news for Lions. Dr. Chao thinks it is ruptured Achilles.  That's surgery and a trip to Injured Reserve. 

Caught a glimpse of someone slow to get up 

 

As someone who has had Achilles issues this could stay with him for a while

pre-season.....

First. 

 

Starting Walker isn't a real option. Second Tolzien cannot keep a game close. Just stop. He has shown nothing in his play that suggests it either. He is a bad player.

Tolzien  played well against Pittsburgh last year and if we had any defense and any of our wr s made a play that would have been a close game. He isn't awful...but he isn't a qb you want starting multiple games...more a guy that could come in and finish a game if you had to.

That is what Jonathan Kinsley said. This would make me feel good if Bradford actually threw the ball deep. He hardly ever does...The OL always looks worse when he is in there because he does not move. 

 

Check out this QB for Detroit. He steps up and moves to try to make a play. That is what I want to see from Bradford.

As far as the kickers situation I rather sacrifice some extra yardage on kickoff for some good punts. That means I'd keep Locke over Sanchez.

I want to see more from sanchez....I think he has potential to be real good....having teams start inside their 20 makes for a longer field for the defense....but yeah if he can't pick it up on his punts it's a mute point.

That will NEVER happen....He has suffered way too many injuries...bad ones...He is a pocket qb and not strong throwing on the move....but very accurate thrower...even deep.

We were blown out and his rating was in the 60's 

 

All I remember we're dump offs that Pitt allowed all day as the pounded our receivers. I was scared he was going to cause them to get injured.

You don't have a very good memory then. He moved the ball very well that game but we had many bad drops on big plsys...including TY. In the.end we got so far behind due to our inept defense and offense shooting itself in the foot...but no fault of Scotts.

      I'm very interested in Carlie's as well.  I'm just not sold on our starting LB core.

      Yeah North.....maybe I got confused about the Pittsburgh Pirates playing in the central.  But I think before realignment there were only 3 divisions, I think.. Like the Colts and Dolphins played in the East, the Raiders and Broncos played in the West and the Steelers and Brownies played in the Central.  But yeah my mistake the Steelers currently in the North division.

      I just wanted to give Pitt some love for his recent comments about Indy and family values. I also loved what he said about focusing on the long term financially and considering the situation youre in. He appreciates his place in the organization and that speaks volumes about him as a man. The Texans can have guys like Diggs, Im happy with Pitt. Just a top notch dude.    This is a place a lot of people love to hate on, for some reason. But he is living proof that all this rhetoric about how "nobody wants to live in Indiana" is just bonafied baloney. So many former players stick around here after retirement. There is a reason for that.    He is the exact kind of person you would think wouldnt like it here. Rich california kid whose father played in the NFL. Lives on a little farm in Indiana with his wife, who is also from California. And they both love it here.    Those huge cities are very over rated and it isnt for everyone. We just have to find people like Pitt who do and allow them to become pillars of the franchise.

      "I think he flashed last year and can add some value to the LB room."  And I also responded directly to the LB room question. I will simplify, he has a looooow ceiling.   So what's the Problem, why argue?
