Neither Victor Cruz or Odell Beckham Jr. apparently cared for the way that the Jaguars were playing Beckham during their preseason game.  They basically intimated that the Jags were attempting cheap shots according to NFL.com's Dan Hanzus.

"From the line, you can see it as you're running your route and you're running a vertical route, and you take a peek at the safety before you look at the ball, and you just see him head down trying to spear you," Cruz explained. "You can see that from a mile away. He's a smart kid, he understands that, but it's just unfair. It kind of made me upset watching it."

Beckham agreed with Cruz's assessment.

"Man to man, if you have a chance to make a play, make it," Beckham told The Michael Kay Show on ESPN Radio (via ESPN.com). "Don't make a play on me."

No time for that poo against our receiving corps. Too bad our enforcer won't be out there.  I just hope that Funchess, Olsen, Cam and the rest of the gang are aware. I don't think that Cruz and Beckham are just being divas.

If they were trying to be divas, I wouldn't think it would be over a pre season game. Something worth watching.

Sigh... that used to simply be called "playing football". 

Now, these receivers expect flags to fly every time they take a hit.

Seahawk DE Bennett was talking about that the other day....cry babies and average QBs paid like elite football players compared to actual good football players at other spots.

specifically mentioned Brady, Peyton and Cam as rare QBs who take hits like men and tell defenders nice hit....while the rest cry over every hit

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
