Really want Beckton to take the reins at RG and be our long term starter.

His size and athleticism will make the OL dam near unstoppable.

Belichick is already 72 years old. 

The only teams that would bring BB on board are those teams that want to hire him because he's a name and they have little else to offer their fans.  If I'm the owner of the Panthers, I bring him on board in a heartbeat.  I'd give him 100% team control and hope he can work miracles.

Bill Belichick will be linked with every head coach vacancy in 2025 and my money is still on him not getting another HC job, for me the only shot he has is if the Gina's fire Daboll.

Belichick's done. his post Brady record is what 0.432?  and his drafting / signings at offensive skill positions the last 8 years has been absolutely putrid, there isn't another coach in the league that would have gotten away with a record like he has,.

 

His record _without_ Brady is horrid.  Before and after. 

The Pats should have convinced him to retire.  This whole looking for a new head coaching job at 72 is a little insane.

... I actually completely forgot we signed John Ross.  I want him nowhere near the field when we are playing real games that matter.

 

Barkley and Lane not practicing today.

Ringo and Baun starting with the 1's again.

Man if Ringo could break out that would be huge. Great pedigree, size, speed physicality combo and very young still. 

 

Nolan Smith abusing Fred Johnson at OT today(who's in for Lane who's out with a toe issue)

Gotta think Steen is the primary swing tackle with how badly Fred Johnson is fairing.

Wonder which national outlet he's graduating onto.

Is that good or bad? Great for Smith but it could mean we have crap for depth

It's camp so probably neither, but if I had to lean I'd say good since Nolan's development is more important than Fred's

NFL will allow 12 players on field in this one instance

As most NFL fans know, it's illegal for any team to put 12 players on the field for any play during a game, but for the 2024 season, there will actually be one situation where the league WILL allow teams to have an extra man on the field, John Breech of CBS Sports reports.

The addition of a 12th man is one of the wrinkles that will come with the new kickoff rule that's being implemented this year, according to NFL referee John Hussey. The veteran ref was in Kansas City on Saturday for Chiefs' training camp, and during his trip, he broke down the new kickoff rule for the media.

During that meeting, Hussey explained the one situation where a 12th man will be legal: Teams will be allowed to use an extra player to serve as the holder for kickoffs during windy games where the ball won't stay on the tee. The catch here is that the 12th man won't be able to participate in the play after holding the ball for the kicker.

"They can't do anything," Hussey said, via Fox4KC.com.

Under the new rule, the return team will be set up with the kicker at his own 35-yard line while his 10 teammates will be lined up 25 yards away at the return team's 40-yard line (Every member of the coverage team has to have one foot on the 40-yard line until the ball is fielded or until it hits the ground in the landing zone). The kicker isn't even allowed to cross the 50 until the ball is in play, so that should give the 12th man/holder plenty of time to get off the field.

I wonder if EJ Smith is going to be more of a full-time addition to Sheil's podcast.  I like EJ more than Solak.  I would guess it's something like PFF for Solak.  Sports media is so amorphous now and there are very few trained reporters.  I can't see Solak going somewhere where he actually would have to be a journalist for stories.  It's going to be something where he's just providing his opinion.

Kenny will be your starter by week 13 due to an Hurts injury and struggling to move the ball down the field in the air. Pickett will shine and by the time Hurts comes back everyone will want Hurts benched for the playoffs. 

Howie's QB factory in play

This is some mid season form for the blog.

EJ is definitely better than Solak.  I've never been able to stand Solak.

CJGJ talking trash. Byard an 89 overall shows how unserious Madden ratings are.

The way this dline is playing right now is pretty encouraging. Even more encouraging is that the Packers are likely going to be starting a rookie at RG, a guy at RT who has yet to even practice and a center who is one of the worst in the league.

They aren't in pads, it's easier for DL right now. Smith also had a great camp last year and then didn't do anything during the season. It's obviously better that he looked good today besides getting stonewalled all day. I think it's a wait and see thing though.

Talking trash is unfortunately not part of the rating.  CJGJ would be higher if that were the case.

Are they really 'playing'?  Are the pads on?   Is anyone besides ESP keeping track of the score?
