2013 Pre-Season Thread

Same.
I don't think EJ will do that good this season tho

Yea, spiller and Jackson are going to have to seriously carry the rock. But I think their options in the passing game are good enough to help him out.

[berad]

If I see Sean Lee one more time... hah they've run out of things to talk about

[JO_75]

I'm going to be interested in seeing if the run game can remain strong for Dallas throughout preseason. If they can get a run game going to take pressure off Romo, I truly believe they will be back into the playoffs.

They've got a promising youngster in Joseph Randle to back up Murray, so it's looking good for Romo.

Too bad Stevie Johnson is currently hurt and consistently inconsistent...

Robert Woods is pretty good

He better...

[T3hRaven]

Robert Woods is pretty good

 

I thought he was the most NFL ready receiver in this class.  He's good a getting open, I think he's a pretty good route runner.

I watched him through his entire career and he the type of WR you want as the foundation of your WR Corps, while he doesn't have Top 5 WR talent, he maximize his talent with a great work ethic and studying his craft. I was so sad that the Ravens didn't get him, he could have been a perfect replacement, eventually, for the leadership role that Boldin filled in the WR group.

yeah....but Arthur Brown though

Oh I'm glad we have Brown, I just liked Woods as a prospect and wished he could have found a way onto the Ravens lol

During free agency people were talking about the Dolphins being a legit contender because of all the names they brought in. No one said a word about the players they lost until now when they went out and looked awful. That's the problem. Everyone looks at free agents added, but never free agents lost (except in the case of the Ravens and Pats). 

[T3hRaven]

And of course they have to show good film of Eifert I wanted us to trade up so badly for him.

[Cville-Raven]

Cant wait to see these bad boys in action and then quickly run to the bathroom to go puke my guts out.

Teams that spend in free agency generally don't have a lot of success anyway.  You find pieces in free agency, not half your team.

At least JAC's helmets have improved...

yup........lol

This is an interesting development... Michael Vick will be the starting quarterback Friday Night for the Eagles while Nick Foles will start week 2.

Chip Kelly has said not to read too much into who actually "starts" the games because they will both get first team snaps.

Agreed.  It's just the preseason.  PHI would probably be better off rolling the dice on Foles anyway, since they're already well on the road to another Top 5 pick.

I like that plan.

[SecretAgentMan]

God I hate Andy Dalton

[hawkprey]

My prediction for this season is that all players on every team who underachieved will realize their potential, and all young players will continue to grow and get better. All free agent and draft acquisitions are upgrades, and everyone else will be better by having another year in the system. Some systems will be completely new, but they will all be better than the old system. This is going to be an extremely competitive year with most teams winning 11+ games.

What happened?

 

Anyways, as far as the Eagles quarterback situation goes, even though this is extremely unlikely, I just want Dennis Dixon to have a lights-out preseason, while Vick, Foles and Barkley all struggle. If Dixon is ever going to be a starter, this is his time; he knows Chip Kelly's offense and the other 3 QBs are either old/injury prone, mediocre or inexperienced.

 

Mainly, I want Dixon to get credit for being Baltimore's unsung hero, from the Super Bowl run; hey, he was the one who mimicked Kaepernick in practice!

[T3hRaven]

The team looks slow, you can tell it's the pre-season.  Let's get the starters out of there and watch some people earn their roster spots.

[ravensdan]

Dixon>taylor

[beanfigger]

I thought the Rams were gonna be much improved this year, so I'm impressed by the Browns first half.

[JO_75]

This Redskins-Titans game is close. Washington goes for 2 after a TD to take the lead 22 to 21 with about 2:00 minutes left.

[Guest Im An Ozzie Newsome Guy]

Pat White is playing football, again? What happened to that baseball career he left the NFL for?

[flaccopoe]

What a defensive duel that was in SF!  One of the few decent games on Thursday.
