Le'Veon Bell just keeps getting stoned ... at the L.O.S.

Yea he needs to lower his shoulder, hes too high when he runs, hes getting smoked.

No high pick? You could've just gotten Leveon.

The nfl network preseason coverage is awful. It sounds like Warner and the other guy are calling the game from a studio in another state. Are they there?

I'm observing some serious trouble ahead for Pittsburgh this season. Ben looks like sh!t, play calling suspect and defense looks VERY shakey.

 

I have #1 pick Sunday in a 10 team PPR and was thinking Forte but McCoy (other than his thumb) looks great so far.

Wow, Maclin is back in the game. LeSean McCoy is out for the remainder with a sprained thumb. X-rays for a break were negative.

Thank jeebus!

they prefaced their coverage by saying they were at the studio in L.A.

This does not seem like a week 3 preseason game. Pitt looks awful although bell doesn't look to bad and Foles is moving the o pretty well without his top dawg in there.

Hmm, I picked up Steelers defense for week 1 but I may be swayed here that Philadelphia hosting Jacksonville might be a better play. Am I overreacting here since Philly is a high powered offense?

Foles is gonna vindicate Mike's high ranking. We forget about how many plays that offense can run per game.

 

Tucker (RB for Eagles replacing McCoy) looked VERY good.

Let's hope he goes 2 for 2 with the high rankings. I need Gerhart to bust out in my flex spot so I can ride his ass to the playoffs.

Eagles fan here, I've barely watched the preseason but reports in the local news are that Tucker has had a great preseason. Doubt he's a fantasy factor, just chiming in.

Holy crap, make no mistake about it, Bortles is the goods. The throws he's making and the pocket awareness he is showing is amazing for a rookie. We are looking at the next great qb right there. He could be pro bowl and fantasy worthy as soon as next year if not this year after they lose a couple games.

 

I might have to rethink Gerhart...if that offense shows any signs of life he could be better than I thought. Then again he's white...yea, it's not gonna happen.

In addition to the stuff I posted in the Decker and Vereen threads, my biggest takeaway from last night's games is that the mid-round running back situation may not be as iffy as we've all worried it was. Gerhart, Chris Johnson, and Rashad Jennings all looked pretty strong on their first half carries. Gerhart didn't produce much, but had a few nifty runs and is clearly the workhorse in that backfield. Johnson led a committee with Ivory but got to the edge well. Jennings was solid all around, the definite anchor that kept the Giants somewhat alive while Eli slowly got in sync with his receivers.

Bradley is building something down in Jax ... he is slowly eradicating the 'loser' culture. that team is gonna play hard for this dude, and they are not gonna be patsies this year. a second place finish behind Indy seems certain to me :thumbsup:

 

no question Gerhart can be a very reliable rb2, and will present nice value in the 4th rd.

 

taking fliers on the young wrs can't hurt ... i think both Hurns and Lee, if not drafted, will become hot ww commodities :doublethumbsup:

 

i've already touted the Jax d as a nice sleeper this year, and i see nothing to change my opinion :banana:

 

perennial playoff contender for a stretch ... starting in 2015

 

ETA- yeah, gimme some Bortles ... dude can sling it

I've got to say it is refreshing watching this team. Also, it looks like we found our QB. Still early, yes, but man Bortles impresses every single time. I'm pretty shocked how fast he has developed.

It will be a shame if the Eagles can't/don't keep Tucker and Henry Josey. Both have looked really good in this offense during the preseason.

I'll eat my words on Bortles thus far. The guy has looked really impressive, but I hated him coming out. If you give that team average QB play then all sorts of things change for it. It's the single biggest trickle down effect on a team.

Bills and Bucs offense both look horrible. INTs and fumbles galore in this game

Ej Manuel looks pitiful. Playing like a rookie.

 

The boo birds are out for him now. Yikes.

The buccs look fine. A Martin plunge and a nice Evans endzone TD, getting some first downs, what more can you ask for? Bills on the other hand look like a group of talented players with bad execution and coaching. Manuel is not great but he's not as bad as he looks.

Yea that post was at the beginning of the game when both teams were having trouble on offense. Bucs offense looks fine now but the bills offense looks horrible with the exception of spiller

Atlanta DEF looking pretty good so far against Titans. The offense looks better than last year and Hester's speed is still amazing. His TD catch n run was sweet.

 

Julio looking pretty much recovered as well. Nice TD catch and run.
