If he leaves its not going to change anything. Half this staff is Temple Baylor alum.

Daboll has instituted his 7 game plan.

He wasn't obviously concussed but there was obviously something going on. Adrenaline can make you capable of things that normally don't happen. Having something tap your spinal cord can cause jelly legs, I can attest to that one personally. He shouldn't have been back out, but he wasn't necessarily concussed.

6:30 for me. Was listening to fantasy football guys podcast the other day and they were talking to a guy in Australia that gets up at 3am to set his fantasy lineup. Having to do Europe time zones, EST and PST would be a nightmare.

NFL and NFLPA have released the results of their investigation into the Tua injury. https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-nflpa-joint-statement-on-investigation-into-handling-of-dolphins-qb-tua-tago "While the investigation determined that the team medical staff and unaffiliated medical professionals followed the steps of the Protocol as written, the NFL and NFLPA agree that the outcome in this case is not what was intended when the Protocols were drafted." Looks like Tua was not concussed as had been stated, but there was obviously something wrong. Expect them to take a serious look into this during the off-season and expect it to get redone. I do expect them to start watching these guys with far more scrutiny than before now, and rightfully so. The 2nd instance very much reminded me of seeing Luke on the cart.

Could be the only full stadium this year.

All those empty blue seats will intimidate the fug out of them.

I thought the Broncos would be much better. Their defense could carry a load, they needed RW to be average or better than average to get into the playoffs. RW is unrecognizable right now. Watching him last night made me think about Clausen. It was horrible and that's being generous.

This kind of impact?

Not much different than what we have now...

Brown also said he lost 15 lbs this offseason so he could be more of a pass rusher and less run stuffer. It's just they didn't bring in anyone else to actually be the run stuffing dlineman.

No and that decision doesn't have to be made today.

Not that plain and not that simple. Our play calling is borderline college/high school. There's no deception, Baker is taking almost every snap out of the shotgun, and we have one of the easiest offenses in the NFL to read and game plan for. Baker is surely fugging up his part, but make no mistake McAdoo and Rhule are not doing him or this offense any favors.

We run a very simple offense that telegraphs a lot of plays. Defense study tape too. They know when he's likely to pass and to get their arms up. Baker is at fault some but not completely. Our offensive play calling is predictable and easy to defend.

I think I still have that Elvira movie on beta.

The BLeav podcast with Jstew addressed the batted balls and think Baker may have a tell from tapping the ball or the way he shifts in the pocket may tell dline guys to stop rushing and get hands up.

Next week's stat line 7/138/1

They probably are too surprised a pass made it past the LoS to be ready to catch it.

Ride the Rhule train to the number 1 or 2 pick.

I've actually started wondering if Rhule doesn't like the swagger personality that takes the focus off him. I know Cam was used up, but he had swag and we cut him. Then came Teddy and the team lost its swag. In comes Darnold and no swag until Cam came back, then Cam is benched. Bring on Baker and he rubs fans the wrong way. Minshew would have made more sense than Darnold but he has that swagger too. It's just a thought that's been bugging me. It appears Rhule wants all eyes on him, good or bad.

If Bozeman can play LG it makes sense to move BC to RT.

We're trading for Minshew. Porn stash 4 life.

It is if you want to make sure you have the most money spent on QBs that are healthy enough to start but suck to bad start.

He's not the worst QB in the NFL. He's already on our roster. Other than Mayfield, our options were Trubisky, who just got benched, Pickett, or who else? This was a horrid draft for QBs and Watson wanted no part of this franchise. I'm not defending Baker. He's played like poo. But I also think we've put him in an offense with the excitement of the wheelchair Olympics in a nursing home. This whole thing is doomed to failure because of Rhule. As for Fitts, we had no leverage negotiating for Darnold. We were the only team with interest but we also had PJ as our only QB. We were desperate and they knew it. Baker would likely still have been in Cleveland if Watson hadn't been open to trade. The CJ trade is about as good as you could hope for. Starting CB in the third with athletic upside. He finally got to put a line together and toss the garbage to the side. Kickers have done well. Defense is playing well enough to win but you can't ask them to hold opponents to less than 17 points a game every week playing 40 minutes a game. The lynch pin in all of this is Rhule. It's his poo offense run by his poo coordinators by his poo QBs all of who he wanted. It's up to Fitts to get good players that fit the system. Rhules system is hot garbage and I have full confidence that Fitts would have fired him last year if Tepper hadn't Jerry Jones'd things.
