    Preseason week 3: Arizona Cardinals @ Minnesota Vikings GameDay Thread. 08/24/19

    It was just badly executed. The outside receiver was suppose to block so he could get out of bounds. Andy saw a little green and cut upfield instead of going horizontal to the sidelines where the block was waiting. Looks like the block got set a little shallow too. Just not a good play. Would...

    Preseason week 3: Arizona Cardinals @ Minnesota Vikings GameDay Thread. 08/24/19

    Not so sure the RPO will be a major part of offense. The line isn't going to be able to give that little extra time it takes on a regular basis.

    Preseason week 3: Arizona Cardinals @ Minnesota Vikings GameDay Thread. 08/24/19

    It's an improvement. That's something. Drive would have been stalled by fumble if this was a regular season game, so DJ needs to protect that.

    Preseason week 3: Arizona Cardinals @ Minnesota Vikings GameDay Thread. 08/24/19

    Why am I not surprised we start to move the ball and then fumble.

    They still are not going to show any indication of their actual offense

    Agreed. It makes the play action and RPO a lot less effective if we don't have a running threat and the D can sell out on the pass without much risk of getting gashed for doing it. That's the problem with one dimensional offense in the NFL is a talented passing team aren't going to be as...

    They still are not going to show any indication of their actual offense

    When you a rookie preseason reps count for something. A veteran star QB not so much. So like I said, if he's not getting ate up I think he could use as many reps as possible. If he's getting mauled there is no reason for him to be in because there will be little to gain from the experience. If...

    They still are not going to show any indication of their actual offense

    If we can move the ball before the season ends I think it bodes much better for us that they can do it in the regular season than if they can't. I'm just looking for a flash of something. Rosen flashed out there a bit last night and even though it may not have been with and against the same...

    They still are not going to show any indication of their actual offense

    Hmmm... Joined 2 days after the KK hire, blind faith in ability, intimate knowledge of sleep and work schedule. Are you really KK, or maybe his mom? :D

    They still are not going to show any indication of their actual offense

    I think people misrepresent preseason by saying it is meaningless. Yes, the final scores and record is meaningless because you are playing a variety of players, many of whom will not make the roster. I do think it is naive to ignore how your starters, particularly the offense, play in...

    OT: Baker Mayfield: “I cannot believe the Giants took Daniel Jones”

    When someone plants a flag midfield on OU I will be here to hit Ctrl Alt Delete on OU fans when their brains freeze up trying to reconcile the equation of how that guy is douche but that would mean Mayfield is a douche.

    OT: Baker Mayfield: “I cannot believe the Giants took Daniel Jones”

    It's been sung at every away game too for a very long time, so long that I can't ever remember it not being part of away games. I said they had been singing it at away games since at least Tressel era and perhaps away games go back even further. Either way it has been long enough that Baker...

    Hakeem Butler to IR?

    Someone told me it's because the replaced weight room time with pilates sessions and instead of shakes they are serving Kombucha. ;)

    Why a Mediocre College Coach May Be the NFL’s Next Great One (WSJ)

    Read it... Basically saying everything that has already been said. Waiting until game 1 to draw a conclusion on how good or bad we might be, but I'm quite skeptical at the moment.

    OT: Dak turns down $30 mm wants $40 mm

    It's crazy how these big contracts eat up a salary cap. At $40mil that would be approaching 25% of the cap to one player. Brady only takes $15mil. He's getting short changed in comparison to the rest of the league, but he also gets the benefit of having players around him that can keep him...

    If you had to put $1,000 on Over/Under

    I was about mention this split myself. I guess the one thing they have going for them is the expectations by many are pretty low. On the flip side though I think even those who would take the under will be pissed at Kiem if we do that badly given the circumstances.

    OT: Baker Mayfield: “I cannot believe the Giants took Daniel Jones”

    BTW, if it weren't for your avatar I would assume your Baker defense was pure sarcasm. If it was, well played.

    OT: Baker Mayfield: “I cannot believe the Giants took Daniel Jones”

    I don't need to research it, I've seen it first hand plenty of times. Carmen has been a tradition for probably 100 years. At least since the Tressel era they do it at every away game, not just home. They sing it in front of the band, who plays the song, which is where the visiting fans...

    OT: Baker Mayfield: “I cannot believe the Giants took Daniel Jones”

    Not sure you know either if you think the so-called "reason" was justified. Mayfield got his panties in a bunch more because they got their ass handed them in 2016, not because they sang Carmen after that game. Even if Baker didn't know at the time that OSU sings Carmen after every game, win...

    Peter King FMIA: reason for optimism?

    28pts would put us at the 4th highest scoring offense in 2018. Since we were dead last in 2018 I see only room for improvement but I think going from last to top 5 in a single season is very optimistic. I would be happy with a 24pt avg as that would mean we have an above avg offense. I doubt our...

    Peter King FMIA: reason for optimism?

    So basically we are still trying to sort out football fundamentals before we can worry about executing the playbook? That's how I read that. The KK interview does not inspire confidence as much as it sounds like someone telling you not worry, the check is in the mail. It still didn't explain...

    Peter King FMIA: reason for optimism?

    And for the record I totally get in the preseason you aren't investing much into scouting your opponent and trying to form a game plan to pick apart their weaknesses. Its not about winning and more about evaluating your players for cuts but just as important to practice your fundamental schemes...

    Peter King FMIA: reason for optimism?

    Oh I hope I'm surprised just not counting on it. So what's the plan then in preseason? Not use our "real" protections so KM can get harassed and not have a chance for downfield plays to develop so we don't expose it for the Lions? Have trouble lining up on purpose to trick the Lions into...

    What I Saw Preseason Game 2

    I don't understand this. Is KK teaching them Wilks playbook for preseason and his playbook for the regular season? I'm not saying preseason predicts the regular season, but I think saying the preseason looks bad because they aren't running their real offense is more of an excuse for not...
