2022 NFL and NCAA Football offseason

whatever happened to pounding the ball on the ground and wearing out the opposition's defence with an 8 minute time munching drive

Keep in mind that running the ball is a disadvantage for the offense. It was on 9 guys to block 11. The rule changes over the last 15 years have made it easier for offenses to move the ball by passing. So teams started to implement pass heavy offenses. So, lineman are now developed to pass protect instead of run block. Defenses have shrunk in size a bit to be faster to deal with passing offenses.

Teams that have drafted athletic QBs are trying to exploit smaller defenses by making it 10 guys trying to block 11. It works until the QB gets hurt. See: Jackson, Lamar

The featured running backs all break.

the super bowl preview issue '85 bears/pats and the issue after the bears demolished them

some amazing shit in them

…the run must live the cluck on!

ESPN predicting Giants to finish with the 2nd overall pick in 2022. Time for a new QB?

They picked the wrong NY team. The jets were terrible today.

Is there any talent?

What a kick in the pants to lose to the QB you just booted out and on week 1.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Giants suck ass too. NY football teams are a joke.

Rodgers is playing like he doesn’t want to be in Green Bay… oh wait…

Between each series he’s sitting on the bench and clearly not making any effort to engage with teammates or coaches and he’s not looking at replays on the surface

[My3Sons]

It’s going to be a long season in GB if they don’t get Rodgers to re-engage. It’s odd seeing the refs help NO out over GB although it’s not a deciding factor in the game in my view

 

[Emperoreddy]

Giants not cleaning house after last season was such a mistake. Everyone should have been fired.

 

[My3Sons]

Rodgers benched for Love. Have to wonder if that is it for him in GB. He looked so disinterested.

I was noticing the exact same thing. Body language says it all.

Can you repeat that in the form of a question please

 

[RangerDoggo]

Gettleman is a puppet of Mara, who calls all the shots. It’s why the offensive line has been neglected into a rotting shell in the past decade.

 

[The 29th Pick]

the Jets will win more games than the Giants this season, guaranteed

I don't see that happening tbh. The Giants won't win the division or anything but the Jets aren't going to win more IMO.

 

[tr83]

I look very forward to the Packers not having a franchise QB for the first time in 30 years.

Ditto for the Steelers

Their fans need to suffer for a few decades

my statement isnt very bold, I'm a Giants fan, but they SUCK from the top to bottom, the Jets might win 6 games and the Jints 5

alone atop the AFC East after week 1 sure feels great

 

[The 29th Pick]

he looks like a hippy now, I think he's messed up, I think GB would be in trouble but they're in a division with Lame competition

His post game presser sounded less miserable. He tried to pass today off as a typical bad game but if these start to pile up it won’t be pretty.

Anyone besides New England atop is AFC East feels great!
