Bit of a wild week around the league

[Mr. Scot]

Jets QB Mark Sanchez got the starting nod tonight, and on his first pass threw a pick six...on a screen pass...to a defensive lineman.  Ouch.

 

The good news for Sanchez - if you can call it that - is that Geno Smith was said to be unimpressive as well and may have injured his ankle.

 

In a "this could get interesting" moment, Justin Blackmon was escorted off the field in Jacksonville after having a heated discussion with...a teammate (DE Jason Babin).  Jags coach Gus Bradley was reportedly pissed at Blackmon afterward.

 

Apparently unnoticed in tonight's Panther game, Bears DT - and franchise player - Henry Melton, left the game early with a concussion.

They also didn't play Peppers, so if you think the 1st string OL didn't do so badly, just keep that in mind.

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

Peppers struggles most with third string back up tight end types... Well at Carolina he did.

[Mr. Scot]

I've seen Peppers look nearly unblockable.

I've also seen him get stonewalled single blocked by a tight end.

That's what was always so infuriating about him when he was here, the maddening inconsistency.

[TheRed]

Looks like another dumpster fire year for the Jets. Sucks for them.

 

Blackmon is a talented receiver, but his penchant for trouble and poor decision making combined with playing in Jacksonville with the worst QB's imaginable could mean a short NFL career if he doesn't get out of there.

Apparently Terrell McClain is on the Texans now and had 2.5 sacks in their game against the Vikings.  It was probably against 3rd stringers, but still interesting nonetheless...

 

Obviously our DT situation is looking awesome right now, but I still thought we cut ties with McClain too early.

Didn't he play for the Falcons briefly last year too?

[KendrickPanther]

I remember the Terrel McClain pick, do you guys remember who was drafted one pick ahead of him?? Randall Cobb. I face palmed. I wanted Cobb so bad.

 

Jarred Green caught a few balls for the Cowboys, I wish him the best.

 

I don't understand why everyone calls the Jets a dumpster fire all the time. Yeah they have a bad QB and a loud mouth coach but they were 6-10 last year. The Chiefs had the worst record in the league and nobody says poo about them. The Panthers were only 7-9 and people act like the Jets are a free win this year. Rex coaches really sound defense, I expect another mediocre season from them.

He never played for the Falcons from what I remember.  He got signed by the Patriots shortly after we cut him, but I think he only stuck with them for a week or so before he got cut again.  Not sure when the Texans picked him up...

I liked McClain. He wasn't as bad as what most fans thought of him before he was cut. Fua is terrible one and should have been the one who got gutted.

[panthers55]

Speaking of former players playing for other teams did anyone else notice that Corvey Irvin played DT for Chicago last night.

[ickmule]

Peppers is overrated. He has no idea how to give 100% of every down.

[Frank Hollywood]

I believe there is a McClain on the falcons. I don't think it's the same guy.

I would have 3 years ago. The Peppers we see now and the one that played for the Panthers are two different players.
