Mr. Scot

Every team in the league operates under those same conditions. But a number of other teams somehow manage to start the season looking way better than we do. Offseason prep and pacing are a big part of coaching. Tom Coughlin used to beat the sh-t out of his teams. They'd start the season looking like world beaters, then by late season they were done. On the flipside, more "vet friendly coaches" would take it easier. They start looking slow and maybe a tad sloppy, but get better as seasons go along. The best coaches though, find a way to start looking crisp up front and keep it going all year. Belichick tended to be good at this. Reid has likewise become a master over the last few years. Bottom Line: Having your team ready to play is a coach's responsibility, and not just on a weekly basis. It's important coming into the season also. Canales...needs work

He is... ...but he asked to be let go from the Vikings so he could try and catch on with a contender. (he's putting in a lot of frequent flyer miles this year)

I don't think any coach should say something like that in public

And they're still very much themselves

Person:

Anish (already standing) gushes Jake jumps around and celebrates Luke? He raises a fist, but keeps the calm, stone cold "professional assassin" demeanor we often saw him wear when he played This may be the best radio team we've ever had.

Nah. It was an off the cuff joke. For the record, Grier is currently back on the Cowboys practice squad.

I don't think Purdy is all that good.

I'll check it out

You won't believe me when I say this, but truthfully, it's not bad

You should watch the version starring David Hasselhoff

I freely confessed I was very disinterested in this game. Now I'm extremely glad I chose to watch it.

I'm trying to figure out why the hell Collinsworth pronounces his name the way he does

I liked Nucua's better. Hardest part about this game for me is being reminded of Frankie Luvu.

My wife did

That's the one most people remember (quoted twice in this thread)

No argument... For the record, I saw a live performance of Jekyll and Hyde a few years ago that was better than this one.

He was a reasonably reliable receiver last season. He took a while to get back to form this year after the injury.

Jekyll and Hyde, the show. It's a song where the lead actor sings as both characters arguing against each other.

Maybe we bring Will Grier back

I still don't buy that happening, but who knows right now? All I feel certain of is him getting the option.

Hubbard has gotten a lot better at catching passes

We brought in a guy from a two time Lombardi winning organization. This is only his first season.
