Re: Justin Fields traded to Pittsburgh for conditional pick

I guess I always envisioned Poles hanging onto Fields deep into preseason until a team had their starting qb getting hurt and was desperate for qb talent and Poles trading him then for significantly better value. I’m all for getting rid of Fields for CW, but this seems like a fleecing that I never a...

Re: Eddie Jackson: Return on a smaller contract?

No way. Bad angles, bad tackling, oft-injured. I wouldn't even have him back as a backup. I'd rather develop younger talent.

Would love to see him throw the ball before the receiver makes his break. That’s what I really like about Bagent.

Brisker in concussion protocol once again

Jaquan Brisker has had two concussions in two years. Not exactly the type of thing that is conducive to a very long career in the NFL. Love the guy’s potential, but he needs to be concerned with the potential for CTE with all the brain trauma he has sustained in in his young career. https://www.nbcs...

Why do I think they got it backwards? Pickens should be the 3 and Dexter should be the 1.

Didn't we think that in the offseason?

Re: Momentum: Will we see it Sunday?

Sunday's game depends on whether the defense is playing the loose Tampa 2 zone or a tight one. Seemed like we tightened it up last game in the second half and started to send some blitzers as well. Seems like the secondary will be more aggressive without Jefferson to deal with.

You can keep trying to make this true by repeating it over and over, but literally every piece of available information supports that Flus was selected by Poles. They go way back.

According to a Sports Mockery article, an NFL GM who has inside information believes Kevin Warren has seen enough. Even Poles is being considered. From his targeting of Larry Ogunjobi to his acquisitions of Chase Claypool and Nate Davis, Kevin Warren has not been impressed. https://www.sportsmockery...

Didn't say we looked any better. The first overall pick may very well go to the loser of our game with them. The other team will get the second pick.
When do we play Carolina?

Hoping we get to root for a tie

Yet Jordan Love had superior numbers to Aaron Rogers in his initial game… Justin Fields is a freakish athlete.
