The 2020 HOF class is being inducted live on nfl network as we speak. Troy Polamalu got his gold jacket a few minutes ago and it was a nice moment as it seemed to mean a lot to him. 

Still remember this

 

This is great and he looks great. It was said in his induction video that in his thirteen years in Philly he’s one of the few players that the eagles fans have never booed. He still holds several franchise records for the team nearly forty years after he last played for the team. Either that shows how great he was or how bad the receivers the team have had since then. I think it’s the former not the latter.

 51 million for Allen  in 2025 

makes it hard to build and keep a nucleus together 

 

The building phase is over.  They are in the title contention phase as one of the top elite teams in the league.  Daboll staying one more year as OC when he could have taken a HC job.  Bills are in win now mode.  As for Allen, unlike Watson, he actually has achieved an elite level of play.  He had all the physical skill and talent in the world coming out of college but doubts and questions were if he would ever be able to put it all together and he has.  The sky is now the limit for him as a QB.  He's worth it.  

Harold  Carmichael thanked us the fans. 

Cliff Harris and Drew Pearson were very good players, but they are benefiting from their SB ring and Cowboys' reputation more than being deserving, IMO.

Well having a ring does seem to help players get in or get talked about as a HOFer. I mean some people seem to think that Eli manning is a hall of famer because he has two rings which is true, he has two rings but he might want to credit David Tyree and mario manningham for having those rings.

That was a great speech by edgerrin  James.

I'm still shocked Edge got in, idk if I ever watched him and thought "oh yea, that's a HOF running back"

for real

When Hurts does well in practice then all we hear is "it’s just practice”. 
 

When he plays bad in practice now it’s a big deal. 
 

He’s our QB this year, so let’s see how he does when games start.

No one here has ever pulled the "it’s just practice card” when he did well. Please.

The hoops these people are jumping through to defend him is pure comedy.

There isn’t anything ‘funny’ about it; both Nick and Howie have said repeatedly they want Hurts to take the job and run with it, so to speak.  They want him to earn it rather than be gifted the starting job (even though, face it, he HAS been gifted the starting job because of how events have played out).

The question is not whether Hurts will be the starter Week 1; the question is how long will he keep the job.  If you see a healthy Hurts sat down at any point during the season for Flacco or Mullens then you know what the direction of the organization will be for 2022 and after.

I’m meant funny as a figure of speech. 
 

As for wanting him to win the job I mean come on who’s his competitor? Flacco? No way Mullens? That would be a joke. It’s his job yes but early returns so far as of now don’t look to good. It’s still early so I guess we will see

And even if we did... it is just practice. A good NFL QB should do very well at practice. Predictable coverages, he's not gonna get hit by the defense, etc. So when he's struggling at practice... not great.

Problem is he hasn’t done all that well in practice. He’s been a mixed bag all TC. Just that today he was straight trash and you hope he gets better not worse.

💯 

If there’s anytime for him to actually look good it would be in practice. He’s been off and on 

It was Dillard with the 1s today right? Looks like Mailata has it.

I generally agree with this, but that’s if you are looking at him as a pure passer. I think he’s the type of QB whose going to be meh in a practice setting but look better in an actual game. Not to say that means anything in the grand scheme of things because you want your QB to operate and run the plays as designed, not around and play backyard football. Which has been 99% of everyone’s criticisms. 

I wish reporters could give more info on the multiple looks the D is giving. Like, when lined up in a 3-4 what is the personnel?

I have seen it said that Milton Williams is a DE. But is that in a 3-4? Or 4-3 as well?

Who are the 4 LBs, compared to the 3 in the 4-3 alignment? Who are the 2 nickel LBs?

Are we 1 gapping? 2 gapping? Does it change based on the formation 3-4 vs 4-3? How much wide 9, if any?

 

Would love to know more about what this defense looks like.

He is 13th all time in yards with a Super Bowl.

Not feeling all the Boston Scott hate.

Dude ave 4.7 yards/ carry had 25 catches all as a backup with limited touches so what's the problem???

What are people expecting from a back up RB???

From reports at camp sounds like Scott is getting the most touches and run with the 1st team other than Sanders, seems the coaches like him and why not???

Guy isn't an all pro and last I checked most teams don't have an all pro RB on the bench.

So again why all the Scott bashing???

Not bashing him.  He's a limited role player who I feel can be upgraded on.  I even said no disrespect towards him to make sure people know I'm not bashing or hating on him.  Just like we can do better than Greg Ward, we can do better than Boston Scott.  I think he offers more value as RB3 than RB2.

Yea, I don't see him as a HOF player at all.  We're reaching a point where we're going to see players are getting in seemingly based on name.

Yep, not sure why it's even a competition anymore.  Dillard is getting straight up abused every time he's out there.  He can't even cross train like Herbig or Driscoll.
