That was awesome! Just playing some back yard football in the snow!

I honestly don't know why there isn't more lateraling in the game as a regular part of play

Normally when I've seen a team try to lateral it ends in a fumble or loss of yards. Like those goofy end of game kick return type plays

Right, because they don't really practice or work it into the game as much as the other plays.

I bet if some coach came along and really put some smart innovations in, lateral plays could be the new RPO or tush push that other teams have to adjust to.

The back yard down field hook and ladder is coming .. Kelce does a bit off schedule and im surprised Andy Reid doesnt do it intentionally

Not a 1st rounder, but a Rivera Bust nonetheless.

If standings hold we would be a 2v7 on the road in Philly for the playoffs.

Interesting discussion b/n Rex Ryan and Orlovsky this morning about the T-Lawrence hit. They said that QBs should dive at the defenders legs, if they see contact coming. That sliding is only safe in the open field.

With all our consternation about JD sliding, his awkward “fall forward” thing might be what he’s being coached to do. Lamar has done it for years.

Good. That’s what I want. I want to take down the Eagles

I would agree 100%. Sliding in football is “giving one’s self up”, which allows predators to attack. Regardless.

Lunging forward can create injuries to the head and shoulders, if done wrong — but that’s not a usual circumstance.

AND you are taking it at someone. Hit or be hit. As it were

Those 49ers trading for Cousins rumors were fun today. Kyle always did love him

I was under the impression the NFL, as it pertains to QBs scrambling, made it such that when a QB initiates a “slide” they were in effect giving themselves up? Reason being, so they don’t get clobbered. Did I dream that?
