Its also gonna be running Aug 27 and Sept 1. Can't remember the times tho. Sorry.

It was up yesterday between 8:00 and 11:00PM.

One thing I did notice yesterday was the Raiders still had their starters out for the 3rd qtr. Khalil Mack took Jason Spriggs(backup LT for the Packers) to school.

The Big Tunsil vs The Cowboys

The Big Tunsil starts this game with the other Fin starters.  The psychology of Tunsil being number 1 is palpable.  Just tell the truth  coaching staff.

1-Tunsil not only removes his man from the pass play, he knocks him off balance
2-Tunsil pulls right on a run play and removes his man from the play.
3- Tunsil gets double team help but sack comes from off side of line
2nd Drive
4- fake bootleg left, play goes other way
5- Tunsil pulls left and gets a shield block  on his man, but play looks to have broken down
6- Tunsil does excellent job of double teaming a man and keeping on eye on Left Tackles man.  Superb.
7.- Tunsil in melee, very effective
8- Tunsil pancakes his man on a pass play......kaching!
9-Tunsil literally blocks 2 men on a running play, 2nd on a blitz.
10- Totally neutralizes his bull rusher
11-Pushes his bull rusher laterally......my oh my

Fins fail on 4th down

12- Tunsil pulls right, tags a man, but tackle on runner made behind him
13-Helps double team a  man...1st down, but Fins struggling
14-Tunsil yards downfield neutralizing a linebacker
15-Tunsil off half a step quick, but they don't call it, neutralizes his man.
16-Tunsil seals his man on a pass play, but heavy rush comes from Left Tackles man
17-Camera loses play
18- Tunsil neutralizes his man, but late loses him off the left side, incomplete
19- Stumbles, but gets a block nevertheless.....showed his athleticism on tough play
20 - seals man TD

Tunsil out for next Fins series.
Tunsil back in with 11.00 to go in third quarter

21- Neutralizes man on quick hitter
22-Gets a piece of two defenders. 1st down run called back due to hold.
23-Is moved off the spot by a fresh bull rusher......first time I've seen that.......keeps his man safe, but definitely moved by him
24-Gets  upfield on 3rd and 29
25-pulls right upfield, finds no one to block QB sacked
26- neutralizes his man but QB sacked again from right side..bullrusher he had trouble with
27- Nice block on pass play....his  man never close
28- Textbook pull and move out on linebacker....runner cuts right behind him
29- Big Bullrusher blocked....tries to stunt..1st down
30- False Start on Tunsil......clearly goes on wrong snap count
31- Nondescript block towards play direction......not effective
32-No one to block on play
33-Stops big bull rusher on 1st and 2nd moves......same was gonna clear on 3rd move, but 1st down
34 gets in front of his man on play to left for big run gainer.......good play after a few questionable ones
35 Downfield with noone to block again.......getting downfield well on pulls but not finishing out there
36- Stops bullrusher....same one Rookie from Akron is a beast though
37-Akron rookie beats him inside and makes tackle.......worst play in 2 preseason games
38- Double team ..good block but  Fins fail to convert down deep on 4th and short.  Cowboys blowing them out.........Note this Rookie from Akron #67 is a load.  Hes' gonna make this team and make lots of noise

Tunsil out with 5 min left in 4th quarter.  He didn't finish the game as well as he started it.  Bad plays including losing track of the snap count on a downfield assignment and blowing the block on the Akron rookie.
Still, only he and Pouncey kept the QB clean.  The dominant blocks were once again, other worldly. 
They played him a good number of snaps because he is clearly the starting Left Guard now and he is gonna be a good one........very good. Whether thats gonna be enough to elevate the Fins in the division is another story.

3 rooks stood out
The Big Tunsil and
Dak Prescott are going to be game changers

The Akron Rookie is going to create chaos

Its almost Football Time!......gonna have us some fun!.....GONNA HAVE US SOME FUN!

I think the Cowboys have found their Quarterback of the future in Dak Prescott. He finished 10/12 for 139 Yards and 2 Touchdowns against the Rams, and 12/15 for 199 Yards and 2 TDs. Making him 22/27 for 338 Yards and 4 TDs in 2 preseason games. Crazy how the Rams traded everything including the kitchen sink for Goff and the same for Eagles with Wentz while the Cowboys drafted Prescott in the fourth round.

I agree with you.  Not sure why he went that late, but a lot of teams are going to regret it.

You have to also take into consideration that Prescott landed in a better system and a better o-line... Even the Cowboys back ups are strong. He has shown glimpses for sure but I wouldn't count out Goff or Wentz quite yet even though I thought they went way too early in the draft.

Gotta say, I hate when you refer to him as the big Tunsil. I'm not sure why. Lol

Gotta emphasize how superior he is to Stanley. Even though everyone but him knows that's not the case.

Big Tunsil vs Super Stanley lol

Didn't get to watch the game but bills skunked the giants. 2nd preseason game don't mean much but gosh

[JO_75]

I know the Saints have to be breathing a sigh of relief after that huge sack by Clowney. If you watch that hit on Brees by Clowney, you have to wonder how Brees didn't get injured. We've known Clowney has the talent but hopefully he can stay healthy in order to show why the Texans took him number one overall in 2014. 

In a cruel irony, Nick Foles fumbles the ball at the Rams 23 yard line giving the ball back to the Rams as they lead 21-20 over the Chiefs with under 2 minutes to go.

[BmoreBird22]

Dirk Koetter was very snide earlier when telling reporters that Robert Agayou missed his first PAT on purpose. He then proceeded to miss another kick within 40 and one from 49.

I have no issue with them trading up for a kicker (kickers are the highest scoring players in the NFL), but so far, he's not justifying trading up with two picks

Fwiw I still don't think there's that big a difference between the two. Tunsil getting second-team reps from Miami is absolute madness (could also be a motivational tool, but since it's Miami I think coaching craziness makes more sense). It's not like Tunsil is wildly superior as [he who shall not be named] is implying, but I feel like the general Tunsil hate is a little revisionist and if he mentally keeps it together he'll be fine at LT.

For me it's where they took him. If he's not conistent within 40, then that's a serious problem for a guy taken in the second round who is supposed to be the immediate starter.

Never had a miss inside 40 in college. This is new.

I've never understood why so many great college kickers never translate in the pros. It's not like they change the ball or anything (that I know of). Aguayo was arguably the best kicker in college history and now he's on his way to becoming the next Mike Nugent. It's only preseason and there's still lots of time to turn it around, but still.

They must be changing his approach to kicking or something. I don't know if it's the jitters of the NFL. Just really weird.

Perhaps it has something to do with the football. I'm pretty sure the balls used in the NFL are slightly larger than the balls used in college.

I think they are slightly larger, but to make that much of a difference? I don't know.
