[PatsFan2]

We know the Josh Uche test is coming soon Uche is having a Von Miller in his prime type season.

Why can't Thanksdad learn to long-snap?

Could never picture BB doing this: Just looks ridiculous!!!!

Aren't they...indoors?

 

[Patjew]

Reading about the injuries to key players on offense had me very worried for a minute, but then I realized we have no offense even with those guys, so what's the difference?

D and ST will carry us to a V.

Coach cap we know how you don't like when he plays meaningful snaps.

Doesn't seem the least bit concerned that his Team will be on a three game losing streak come Saturday night against the Bills.

Different skillset. You almost never see a LS play regular C or vice versa, and in years past Ninkovich was the backup LS. It just doesn't translate the same way, it would seem.

Another good test for the run D facing the league's leading rusher in Jacobs.

Adams will be another good test.

If the Pats can slow these two down, they have another chance to steal a game.

I have been loving the trick I learned on here to watch CBS games, where (since I am a Paramount Plus subscriber) I sign on and watch, after changing my location to Massachusetts with a free app.

Is there a similar trick for Fox games? I'm not a Fox Sports subscriber though.

I could use a pirate stream, battle the gambling and porn pop-ups, ignore the pop-up ladies claiming to be horny and living 2 miles away, and later clear out my cookies afterwards from the 2,000 files that have been deposited while I watched a game. But that is never all that pleasant.

A recent epicly bad Raiders draft.

Raiders’ disastrous 2020 draft class will live in infamy

With the release last week of guard John Simpson, six of the seven players the Raiders took in the 2020 NFL draft no longer are with the team. Two were first-round picks.

And we didn’t bring in recently released John Simpson, a LG who started 17 games? All the teams passed in the former fourth round pick from Clemson. Hum.

Or claim former Faidahs & Cardinals now Cowboys CB Trayvon Mullen to help our depleted CB room?

I just use Dofu Sports App and stream to TV.
Depending on the day you may need to change links 3-4 times but I usually have little issue. The App runs an ad but no ads or pop ups on the links.

If you put a LS in at C you'll get a lot Manning-style over the head hikes.

They also tend to be much smaller. Cardona is 245 while Andrews is 300. It's for a few reasons: One, you're not being asked to block a 350 lb DT directly in your face, and two (in the case of punts) need to snap, block the initial rush, then actually run down the field and tackle the PR if need be. It's almost a combination OL and LB, hence why using Ninko as the emergency made sense.

I would rather Jacobs getting his and focus on stopping D Adams no Big plays from their passing game.

Yep the Boys had a nice pick up there potentially.

 

[Jlaff]

Maybe we shouldn't have been so hard on Brown. He was out there trying. Wynn hits the blue tent when he chips a nail.

Dan Orlovsky calls for more of Jones lining up under center.

That's what I'm saying.

Knowing the importance of this game we need J Meyers even as a decoy we can't be two down two Starting Wide Receivers.

I can't believe WR Tre Nixon can't cut it from the PS he looked ok in the Pre-Season.
