Hopefully Brown gets these drops out of the way in the preseason.

It was a miscommunication.

Gano might be the preseason MVP.

I sure hope Tillman stays healthy this year. If he does, we could have a really good secondary.

Doesn't seem to be enough to overturn.

Three offensive linemen got mentioned. Can't help but like that.

With the exception perhaps of quarterback, no one player will make or break an offense.

That does suck. Time for the others to pick it up.

Very nice series. But the Bills have plenty of time.

Horrible pass by Webb.. Take the sack there buddy.

The entire body has to be past the line of scrimmage as well as the ball. Doesn't matter if the feet are down or not. http://static.nfl.com/static/content/public/image/rulebook/pdfs/11_Rule8_ForwardPass_BackPass_Fumble.pdf Note: It is a forward pass from beyond the line of scrimmage if the passer’s entire body and the ball are beyond the line of scrimmage when the ball is released, whether the passer is airborne or touching the ground. The penalty for a forward pass thrown from beyond the line is enforced from the spot where the ball is released.

That was a good play call and better execution.

I don't know. I am not sure how much we can really glean from a preseason game regarding the performance of any unit. I vaguely remember a preseason a few years ago in which our defensive line dominated, and lead the preseason in sacks. And then it seems we had one of our worse seasons regarding defensive pressure. I could be wrong though. And how many games do we see during the season when a offensive line (or any other unit) starts out struggling and then settles down as the game goes on? Since they will only be playing a few series, there is no time to settle down. IMO, its more interesting to see how various individuals perform, especially those that are borderline on making the team.

I think that Steve Smith would probably have to have at least one maybe two rings to get in. A Superbowl MVP would probably help a lot as well. Or perhaps if he plays longer at a higher level than most think he will.

I wasn't necessarily suggesting he would be the starter. But if and when injuries occur, it would be nice to be able to play Oher at right tackle, since Remmer seems more adaptable and might be better able to fill in at other spots.

n/m

Didn't Oher do better at the right tackle? If Williams can play the left and Oher plays well enough at right, that would seem to solve our problems, at least temporarily. Of course, this could just be the coaches wanting to get more of the olinemen experienced at various positions in case of injury.

Hard to form an impression of any player based on one clip from training camp. Truth is we won't know what we have in Oher or Alexander until a few games into the season.

What is best in life. To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.

I agree that we would not replace Star and KK at this stage. But I have no doubt that if the BPA when our pick comes up is a defensive tackle, there is a pretty good chance we would take him.

ll us conservatives are busy working for a living while the leftist are in coffee houses posting things about the proletariat and saying power to the people. I kid, I kid. :)

Saints are similar to us last year in that they are going to need the drafted players to contribute in their first year. Based on that contribution, they could end up being very good or very bad.

Great thing for them to do. Not that it really matters, but I wonder if Mr. Richardson donated it from his personal income, or from the Panthers as a corporation? Or some combination of the two?

Fwiw, I think Cutler could be good enough to win some games, in a conservative run oriented offense that Fox is probably going to set up. Playoffs might be out of reach if the other teams in the division stay healthy, but if Green Bay/Detroit struggle, then they might have a shot.

Cutler, Clausen, and whomever else they have are not much worse than his first or second year in Carolina. Rodney Peete, Chris Weinke and some backup they signed that use to play in Europe.
