He’s falling backward and can’t even set his feet. That’s not possible.

Speaking of Florida QBs, did you see Lagway yesterday?

Thomas Jr to the moon

Jags might have a guy!

I was in Lincoln for the game, but I heard I need to watch!

Can't wait for him to go top 5 in a couple of years. Man he's got an arm.

Thomas Jr to the moon

I drafted him.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Can the Panthers somehow be worse?

Only if/when he transfers.

AR did it. He can do it too.

If the Panthers are drafting 1 overall are they already looking to replace Bryce Young? Obviously the season needs to be played but they suck even worse than expected and expectations can’t be lower. First game of the year, I know

 

[trostol]

well this is a crappy start to fantasy this year lol

AR was built in a lab though.

May not be a #1 overall worthy QB this year.

I've seen enough. Burrow should retire.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

I have never been a Darnold guy, but I love that pairing. Kevin O’Connell is exactly what he needs. Minnesota gets a bridge guy with moon shot upside and they still draft one. Well done.

The stupid Patriots robbed us of KOC coaching Maye.

HOLD ON DOES NICKLE AND DIME REFER TO FIVE AND TEN YARDS???

No

Next question

HOLD ON DOES NICKLE AND DIME REFER TO FIVE AND TEN YARDS???

Nickel was named as such because it added a 5th DB. Dime was a riff on Nickel.

(The Nickel pre-dates the name, but that was the popularization.)

 

[trostol]

my kicker is leading my team in points lol

I am going to be more specific jumping off this.

In typical nickel, a LB is yanked and replaced with (typically) a CB. Can also be a safety. The DB who has that role is the nickelback. This increases the pass coverage capabilities of the formation. 2 LBs for run stopping, nickelback added for better coverage.

In Dime, two LBs are swapped out.

Quarter: all three LBs

Dollar: all three LBs and a DL swapped out. Hail Mary defense.

 

[trostol]

so are the Falcons once more not using Bijan properly?

 

[Beef Invictus]

It is kind of bothersome how little the announcers dive into specifics of defensive formations. Maybe because there's so much deception you can't know exactly what's going on. For example Shanahan likes to run a 5-2 and it's often disguised as a 4-3, so maybe nobody wants to try and explain this stuff based on on-field descriptions since that's all trickery.

Still, nickel and dime concepts are never explained. Every year I end up explaining what it means to some family member.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

TJ Watt is destroying this game.

*Edit* He’s lost two strip sacks to penalties in the same game. What.

 

[Beef Invictus]

When I am finally made an NFL head coach my offense will be built entirely on sweeps and fake sweeps, and my defense will be only 5-2 and 46.

 

[BigToe]

Watt is balling

 

[Beef Invictus]

I'm telling you, Burrow has to retire

 

[trostol]

I'm telling you, Burrow has to retire

not making excuses...but is Chase and Tee playing? and did he play in preseason..because I think that's gonna be a huge problem if these guys aren't getting a little preseason work

also Cousins is garbage

DANIEL JONES
