One thing we didn't talk about: Deangelo

He looked like the Deangelo of old last night.

 

Shifty, making something out of nothing, picking up good yards the few times he did touch the ball.

 

Hopefully this is a sign of things to come, a good Deangelo will do us nothing but good for us, and help us win a lot of games.

Deangelo looks good pounding the rock from under C.....if the OL can at least give him a chance. That doesn't surprise.

Issue is Chud would stubbornly do two things....not use him in the above scenario.

Or ask him to get involved in these new spread looks, zone reads, etc. He doesn't fit....isn't that good of a RB if asked to be that RB

I was happy with what he did but the next game should be more telling so I can't wait. I also hope the O-line continues to gel and start to open up even bigger wholes for the RBs to run through. Our true test is going to be the third preseason game against the Ravens that's when we will get a picture on how they look.

He had a hell of a block on one play as well! knocked the LB or DE on his ass!

Ya all the RB played well. That chip block though showed another side of Deangelo that people don't talk about which is his physical side. But did ANYONE see when Kenjon Barnet trucked that guy on that Kickreturn.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.

      Derek Carr Retires

      Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.

      Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
