Today's Practice Skirmish


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

There were two skirmishes today. I didn't get a clear view of the first. The second, I saw very clearly. 

 

Kony Ealy was lined up on the first team right end across from Michael Oher. The play didn't look out of the ordinary to me, but Ealy clearly took offense to how Oher was playing him. Ealy got in an extra shove at the end at which point Oher just started to bull doze him. As players intervened Ealy got in a last second large swing in a tomahawk chop kind of motion. I don't think it landed. 

As the players rushed in to break it up, Cam Newton posed for the media in a joking way smiling ear to ear, knowing he was obstructing the view a bit. 

After the fight was broken up, Star Lotulelei looked aggravated and was giving the offensive line a thorough tongue lashing. Its not often you see such emotion from Star.

Things got a little chippy in practice today. Rivera: “It’s disappointing. I think the heat got the best of us."

 

I feel the opposite of Rivera. I don't think it's disappointing at all. I think you need to have people showing they aren't going to be pushed around, by anyone. Obviously, you don't want anyone doing something stupid, and getting hurt. You do want that "I won't back down from anyone" mentality though.

    • Lol. The Texans are literally one of Bryce's six career NFL wins. WTF are you talking about?
    • Yeah, I mean it is a statistical fact and also part of literally a player evaluation. Winston has literally lost dozens of games in his NFL career due to crippling TO's. It's just who he is. Look, it's fun when those insane throws work and he is leading you back from some crazy deficit. But those success are rare. It's why his career GWD count is so low. He's fun but he is fundamentally built to lose games.  If you are talking about a backup QB, you are literally already losing in the first place. That's how you see a backup QB and that's overwhelmingly what they tend to do. Rookie QB's almost always benefit from veteran QB's. Same as literally any other position in the NFL. Why do you think that you so often hear that from the playera themselves? As for Bryce NEEDING one, no he sure as poo shouldn't this late in the game. But he also shouldn't have needed this fuging long to get his fuging footwork straightened out either. Yet here we are.
    • Comfortability is the primary reason. They don't want to hurt Bryce's confidence. But I say if his confidence is that fragile that healthy competition which makes everyone better is enough for them to keep making Andy Dalton rich then Bryce was never going to be the guy anyway. Give me the QB who sees the competition amongst his peers and uses it to take it to the next level. Instead we get the guy who comes out looking like a deer in the headlights against the Texans after we've done everything possible to appease him. Definition of complacency.
