What makes that so hard is because Benjamin Watson can actually block decently. So the DB doesn't want to really engage Watson. Amazing how being a decent blocker can make your game that much better?

Yep... just think if Dwayne Allen could actually catch a pass he'd be worth keeping on the roster instead of him being a cap hit of over 3 million dollars for a guy that only blocks
 
Agreed, their defense is really overrated. Only the Ravens and maybe the Bears have a great defense.
Just shows you how useless PFF’s rankings are.

Cool, let's cut Mason and Cannon. They don't put up any stats. And look at their ridiculous cap hit. No production at all.

He caught tons of balls from Luck in Indy. No idea what changed in NE though.
 
So your definition of someone sucking is if they don't put up any stats on the stats sheet. Got it.

Well screw our o-line. Let's put 5 running backs as Brady's blockers. At least Brady can lateral to them so they can get on the stat sheet and not suck.

Hyperbole much....All I'm saying is I'd rather have Demaryius Thomas then Dwayne Allen in today's NFL. It's not that tough to understand. I'm pretty sure you could find another big tight end that can block and pay him the vet minimum
 
Rams secondary is getting thoroughly exposed.
 
Didn’t even know watson was still in the league to be honest. Saints loook legit! Rams have been getting close to that first loss and I felt it would happen this week. Now hopefully they go into that kc game in a couple weeks angry and put a whooping on them.

Again, have you tried watching the game? You'll find that today's tight ends can't block if their lives depended on it. Competent blocking tight ends are a rare breed in today's pro football. Dwayne Allen is a top 5 blocking tight end.

Demaryius Thomas has a bigger cap hit than Allen, much bigger. That makes no sense.
 
Not true. The two that he mentioned, Dallas, Washington (up until today), and Seattle have all been pretty good.
It is true, Kontra. For example, BAL allowed 23 points, 10-16 on 3rd down and almost 400 yards of offense.

If we want to say that is the new standard for " pretty good" then that's fine.

Please stop with the watch the game ****... I'm 50 plus years old and haven't missed a Pats game since 75... You sound like an idiot.

I suggest you go back and watch the 06 or 2013 season again. Cuz the same thing is about to happen this year. Brady is going to be undermanned at the pass catching position.... and the season's going to end the same way, and I'll be they are to tell you I told you so

I am so sorry. Would you like me to start a gofundme campaign so you can get that pair of glasses so you'll be able to see all the tight ends who can't block for **** or don't even block?
 
Rams +700 to win down 21, I’m feeling good.

We get it.... you want everybody to know how in tune with the game you are by watching line play. You're not just some simpleton that only looks at the stat sheet. Check out Wheelman.... he's so deep... He knows about line play.
 
Rams hate physical football. Same with the Chiefs.
Hit them in the mouth and take it from there.
 
#89 missed a block, and on the next play he can't come up with the catch. Sign the beast, I bet we can get him on a rookie mininum
 
Just shows you how useless PFF’s rankings are.

The rams defense is a bit like the old colts defense under Peyton. If you let them get up on you they can be very effective due to their pass rush. If you keep the lead or keep it close then they need to defend everything and can't do it well. Just my take on it.

No I want everyone to stop attacking Dwayne Allen and saying he sucks. How can he suck when he wins 95% of his blocks?
 
Wow Brown...acrobatic play
