Edelman blew out his ACL on August 25th. The Dorsett deal didn't happen until September 2nd.

I believe he was talking about the Cooks trade. He's maintained all along that the Patriots should have stayed put and taken the OT that the Saints drafted. That's fine, I guess, but after the injury it would have left us without any receiver who could win against coverage consistently.

You're right. I got the line of talk mixed up in the thread. I'll go back and delete that post, as it's erroneous and confusing.

I checked my pulse and it was ok.

I didn't eat any red or blue pills.

WTF is going on here???

hahaha

JK

 

[BaconGrundleCandy]

Would be huge for an edge presence.

 

[mosi]

Yeah I agree. I've watched four other team's preseason games and have seen field goals turn into TDs and 4th downs turn into 1st downs. It's a shytty rule.

It is another way in which the Refs can impact the outcome of the game. They will call it when they want to call it.

This is fine. Everything will be fine. Just working out the kinks.

I suppose you could argue that in terms of biomechanics, you generate more power from pushing with your head up (think bench press vs overhead press), but I really dislike calling this brief dip of the helmet a penalty. I hope they clean this up before the season.

On the plus side, the Patriots are usually quite rules-savvy, so this may benefit them more than most teams. Perhaps they can pick up extra yards against undisciplined squads.

Bill is absolutely thinking & coming up w diff angles for this but its gotten out of hand.

RB's & LB's will be flagged on every play? It's just nuts. I mean theres no way you can make that call & have a serious contest?

Idk man idk

I don't have nearly the problem with this being flagged that I do with the other example.

Then 98 should have been flagged in the same clip. Yay.

Didn't notice that one until now, though at least 98 buried his helmet into the OLman's left shoulder instead of into the opponent's facemark as Attaocho did...but he did lead with his helmet too...so...I don't know...

The rule is a joke. The owners knew the rule was a joke when they passed it. They just don't care.

1. The new helmet tackle rule is a joke
2. The new catch rule is a joke
3. The defenseless receiver rule is a joke
4. The QB slide/dive rule is a joke
5. The new kicking rules are a joke
6. The new personal foul rules are a joke
7. etc...

The league is making it abundantly clear that it cares about money, control, and political influence, and little else.

I'd say most of the lowering the head penalties I've seen had no helmet to helmet contact. It's going to be a tough year if they keep the rule as it is.

LOL, this is the opening to the Jets/Falcons preseason game 1. haha

The NFL should be flagged.

 

[maineman209]

I'd be interested in a breakdown of how many of those were non-contact injuries, and how many occurred on practice fields as opposed to game fields.

 

[luuked]

The amount of ******** coming out of Philadelphia is stunning. So the Pats OL had tells that you were able to abuse and yet your "amazing" pass rush and DL did zilch throughout the entire ****ing game getting carved up left and right except for that sack at the end?

Give me a break... they just cant stop talking.

Which Is why I am so pissed we didn’t beat them. Classless winners are the worst kind of people

When I met Graham and had beers with him his rookie season he was a awesome guy.
I cant speak bad about him.
