Addison is a beast, USC is my college football team.

 

Think both ended up in good spot.

 

I hope so. He reminded me of Cris Carter in the game the other day, catching the ball out of bounds while dragging his feet inbounds.

He was a camp star last year… but in games too?

 

Everything was bad last year. O Line , QB and coaching included. Throw 2022 out the window. He hardly played and what WR looked good last year.

I would much rather us start Downs in the slot than McKenzie. 

I like McKenzie though.

 

If he don't start, we have a good backup slot, so that's good.

 

Rather him take the KO over Downs, as long as he doesn't continually bring it out from 8yds deep.

Minshew is clearly better at this point.   We will see how the preseason goes

I wouldn't necessarily say better, but definitely more efficient. That's always been Minshew's game though. He will eat zone coverage apart underneath, but isn't a QB that can put an offense on his shoulders on a consistent basis. I'm really glad to have him on the team though. He's a great backup and mentor, especially since his strengths are where Richardson has holes in his game.

I'm saying right now.   Minshew is better.   AR  obviously has the higher upside.

Strachan being a preseason star again.

 

He's always looked good in camp and the preseason but for some reason Frank never really gave him a legit shot during the regular season to develop into something given his size and uncanny ability to make difficult catches.

Richardson pocket presence looked really good. If he had hit thst pierce shot that would of been over 100 yard quarter. That’s pretty impressive.

The NFL Network panel gave AR high marks. I thought he looked like a Vet more than a rookie which even surprised me.  It was his presence as you said. We didn't even get to see him take off and really run either. He had the INT but the pass Pierce was a TD had AP hung on to it.

Rush :rock:

Dang I missed it.

It was just Lara Overton, reporting her conversation after halftime with him.

 

Said he thinks Richardson played good and told the guys in the 2nd half to go have fun and get the win.

 

Said, can't tell coach preseason games don't mean anything.

This is a joke right? I know it’s windy but dang.

 

 

 

It wasn't Matt Gay though, our other kicker that has no chance of making team.

    • You are missing out a rather LARGE piece of the puzzle in your factoring here. We had last season's win numbers with GARDNER FREAKING MINSHEW at QB practically the whole season. Love the guy and what he did for us last season, but he isn't exactly a world beater at the QB position. AR brings such a different dynamic to this offense and teamm, Shane is going to be chomping at the bit to get started this season. The sample size we saw from AR last season was small, but it was definitely encouraging - especially considering we were all expecting him to be much more raw and inaccuarte. He basically red-shirted last year, learning the NFL game and in Steichen's ear the whole time, while learning the playbook inside out.  Our team has fundamentally stayed the same as last season, which damn near won the AFC South with Gardner at QB for the love of god. Now we add AR to that mix, as well as some very interesting additions in Mitchell and Latu who could have very meaningful impacts. The fact that we are so under the radar is almost laughable - AFC South isnt going to know what hit it. 
    • Great points!  I would assume the Irsay’s would conduct the interviews. If Steichen is given more control he would as well or the new GM could decide his fate like Ballard did with Pagano. Several ways it can go and we are a few years away from it even happening so who really knows. I’m hoping none of it matters and the team becomes a true contender and this discussion is merely killing time. 
    • I would say "hire the best who's available for the job". If all the good / great GM candidates are gone, you're stuck hiring someone like Grigson (or maybe someone from this forum).   I often wonder, who's the best candidate to hire for an impossible job? Someone who can make the impossible, possible?
    • I agree.  Hire who’s best for the job.  But that doesn’t mean the guy who is easiest is automatically the wrong choice.  Easiest can also mean best.   It depends on your perspective.  
    • I’m in, can’t believe how fast this year is going.
