Part of me wonders if this year's "enforcement emphasis" would ruin that play in a regular season setting.

I read somewhere that the refs at practice are supposed to be enforcing this pretty heavily to help teams with the rule transition.

Fitt needs to put an end to the bullshit.  After Darnold's showing today, the team steadily and progressively gravitating towards Baker as the leader and QB1, they just need to dump Darnold and give PJ and Corral those reps.  A lot more meaningful.  As many of us have been saying, there is no hope for Sam.  He is what he is.  Perhaps he can latch on somewhere as a backup or #3, but it shouldn't be here.  He is useless.

Yeah, I didn't think he was out of bounds either from the first zoomed out video angle...  so, on one hand, I don't feel that warranted a scrap.  On the other, I love for our team to scrap regardless, and it's the Pats, so fug em.😂😂😂

All that being said, in a game it's legal, but if I'm not mistaken, depending on the drill, in practices don't they usually stop the play at a wrap up and generally don't pop the RBs?  Maybe that's what we were pissed about?

Well they are doing kickoff drills and lighting players up.  So the coaches are allowing the tone to be for people to get rocked.   Hard to set up a practice with all that nonsense and then think people will pull out the kids gloves on a RB after all that IMO. 

don’t really like the way the reporting has sounded on of these joint practices. I’d rather they just do the preseason game and thump in an officiated setting where there is no confusion on how hard to play personally.

I only care about salary cap.  That’s what impacts a team.   That’s why I was using cap numbers.    And Robbie ranks really high there. 

I dont think players and their agents are getting paid based off of a teams salary cap ranking. They want to get paid based off of their market value. Now, if the NFL were to go to a fixed salary cap approach, then your position would make sense. However, we are years away from that.

I think that's what he's saying. However he was running exactly what Warner said he needed to be running when the ball was released.

Not exactly.  He turned almost parallel to the oline for just a brief second, and then turned again to move downfield.  I guess Kurt is saying he should have been running at more of a 45 degree angle down the field and it would have held the safety for a brief but important moment.  If Kurt is right, just go to show how small the difference is between a successful pass and one that is knocked away.

Yeah, it also concerns me that it escalates the chances for revenge taken out when we actually play the game Friday.  Just doesn't seem to be a good idea at all.  I like that we seem to be the ones bringing the dog to the fight, but it just doesn't seem like a good idea knowing we have to play them Friday.

Yeah, I don’t care how an agent gets paid.  I don’t care how much a player puts in his pocket.  I care about their cap hit on the roster.  That’s all that matters if you are a fan of a team.   And Robbie has had one of the biggest cap hits on a roster for a WR the past 2 seasons.  

Top 15 the past 2 years.  That’s a lot to cap space for a Robbie caliber WR.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
