Game Day Thread 2018 Preseason G2: PHI @ NE

Hes not bashful in run support or tackling in general. That is for certain.

Gets there fast and wraps up. He could be worth an ST spot on that alone.

Agree. He plays bigger than he is. Long arms.

 

[maineman209]

Ha ha ha....he even bobbled a pretty sure INT ....Crossen headed to UPS or Stop and Shop after tonight’s game

Special teams as a gunner, more likely.

Crossen has the making of ST monster and not only as gunner . but he is legit D prospect as well. What more can you ask from the boy at this stage?

 

[maineman209]

The corners and safeties that year were also abysmal. Leigh Bodden couldn't overcome an injury, Ras-I-Dowling went down, Merriweather and Sanders were cut. We had McCourty, Sterling Moore, Philip Adams, Sergio Brown, Edelman, Slater, Arrington, and Lockett? at DB. Hard to play good defense with that core. (I'm going off memory here but will look up the names later)

Bodden also couldn't play man-coverage worth a damn when he WAS healthy.

 

[Nunchucks]

I suppose it's possible that Brown got the block wrong, but still, Dorsett's indecisiveness in the face of the unexpected is what killed the play.

Dorsett came too far inside, which is why the ball was high. Brown was probably in the right spot, Dorsett ran the route wrong.

Ball is high and Brown is out a little further with Dorsett a little too far inside. I think it is clear who made the mistake.

It’s his car, and he’s gonna drive it how he wants it. Lmao at him talking down to Todd Haley like Haley doesn’t have like ten times the wins as head coach.

Edit: Looked it up, Haley has 19x as many wins.

Jackson coached the Raiders in 2011 and went 8-8 (and was promptly fired).

 

[maineman209]

I really wanted him to catch that.

No, you didn't.

With an interception on 4th down, the ball is turned over where the defender is downed (in this case, around the 1-yd line. If the pass is merely broken up, the ball is spotted out at the previous line of scrimmage.

It's almost always much smarter to just knock the ball down on a 4th-down pass than to intercept it, especially if it's a long pass. Then the PBU becomes almost like blocking a punt.

 

[maineman209]

Totally undisciplined and sloppy...what are u seeing him doing well?!

Edge-contain, tackling ... covering. Crossen isn't allowing much separation, he's just effing up the end of the play. That can be fixed.

 

[PatriotReign]

I don't like the sound of that.

 

[maineman209]

His schemes and playcalling seem awesome so far

It's pre-season. What schemes?

 

[Kontradiction]

Sounds like Brittle Burkhead might be hobbled throughout the year.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

WTH?

 

[Froob]

Jackson coached the Raiders in 2011 and went 8-8 (and was promptly fired).

I had remembered that shortly after posting that. He was actually one of their most successful coaches since that last Super Bowl run, strange they fired him after one season lol...I'd blame crazy Al but he was dead by that point.

 

[Kontradiction]

WTH?

Sounds like something that he can play through but will still hurt his effectiveness throughout the season. Since it's IRex, he'll probably sustain other injuries throughout the course of the year. Hopefully Michel is ready by Week 1.

Edge-contain, tackling ... covering. Crossen isn't allowing much separation, he's just effing up the end of the play. That can be fixed.

If Crossen and JC can shine in the 3rd preseason game, Jason McCourty might need to call unemployment.

I can see them carrying 6 DBs until Jules comes back.

Gilmore
Rowe
Dawson
JJ
Crossen
JC Jackson (bad 57 yard reception last night but I dont think he played poorly)

 

[PatriotReign]

Burkhead is consistently unavailable once he gets any sort of momentum. Rather have paid Dion if he's always going to be hurt.

 

[maineman209]

Most of us will never get over Richards and Rowe getting torched in SB against Eagles....really surprised he (Richards) is still here

Speak for yourself. I've been over it since February 6th.

Mark’s bowl cut has taken on a mind of his own and speaks crazy things to him sometimes from what I hear.

Interesting...Poor Coradelle came into the league at the wrong time. He'd def have gotten 50+ mill from the Raidahs during the senile Al era.
