Wonder if Hurts is having a down day or the practice is skewed towards the defense after the poor showing yesterday and last Sunday.

Why are they not going up against the Dolphins defense? 

 

Here it is folks, this guy wants you to listen to his football takes, but has no idea why the Dolphins defense is not participating in practice today.

Has anybody played the newest Madden? I heard they changed the gameplay significantly. I usually wait until it's heavily discounted before I buy it every year like a sucker. 

I did but I played the trial.  I think it improved somewhat.  Looks and feels better, tackling looks better, etc.  I'm the same as you, usually wait till it's at least half off before buying.

It's been mostly redzone drills

Seems like they're doing a lot of RZ work so tighter windows and practicing "needing a TD" on a particular play might be a factor.

So, like, things you need in real games...........................

Hurts didn't get to 30 TD's. 

 

Seasons over.

So help me understand here....we play the Dolphins Saturday. 

Is the team off fully next week? No practices, nothing? 

Then, we ramp up to the regular season starting on Sept 5? Is that the plan?

So the plan is to open the regular season blog on Monday.

@BigEFly, I won't open a new, separate blog if there are playoff games.

Nothing personal , but the blog sucks and is 100% the reason I'm not very active on the board. Cramming everything into 1 post makes it impossible for those who don't spend hours a day on here to keep up.  Then when post is made about anything,  someone always chimes in with "its been talked about already in the blog". I know I can't be the only person that doesn't engage in conversations because of that.  Blog type post shouldn't be allowed.

So, Sirianni took a rebuilding team coming off a 4-12 season to 9-7 and you want to fire him after one year?

I wouldn't want to work for you.

No I want to fire him after 2 years. Sirianni didnt take this team anywhere. His most notable act as head coach was giving up the play calling...in his first year...not even half way through the season because the team basically hit rock bottom. We didnt even think we would beat Detroit last year going into that game. The insanely easy schedule at the end of the season and the lack of any decent opponent QBs lead to us being 9-7. The running game that the OC implemented and called got us to 9-7. Jeff Stoutland got us to 9-7. The only thing Sirianni is doing is wearing shirts with different player's faces on them. That ra ra crap aint doing it for me. We need an actual HC who actually knows what hes doing and doesnt need his hand held throughout the season/offseason.

Something like that. I know they have a mini bye before Week 1, but they will probably still do walk through's or something.

We already talked about this.

They only had to change the offense midway last year because they couldn't execute it properly. Why would they need practice?

Apparently some say, it's only practice, they'll be fine. 

Then, when we actually have a good practice, it's the most important piece of evidence that we'll be good this year. 

Until we have a bad practice, then...they don't need practice, they're good to go. 

It's baffling.

I think they knew we’d whip that ass in a practice re-match.

Then post in any number of specific topics related to want you want to talk about.  Just remember, if you are not an active member of the board, don't fly in and make a new topic that has been discussed at length already in the blog, or that topic specifically.

Wait, I thought only team drills counted for TDs…now we’re including 7v7??

Well I actually have work to do so I can't live and read every post made in here. 

Where you working non stop for 5 years when you asked about the hall of fame game being moved to Thursday night ??

Where's ESP's final rundown on Hurts's TC stats? Would love to see how much fewer reps he took.

That's it.  Other than the cut down to 53-players it is going to be a very loooooooooooog week.

Yeah but wait till you see how many TDs he ran in during 7v7...so it all adds up!

I would disagree with that facet of your argument.  Keeping track of what has been discussed in here is difficult.  Several topics get intertwined, with a bunch of vitriol mixed in.  It's hard for folks new to the blog to follow a specific topic and understand which posters are attempting to add value versus those just looking to troll.

But to your second part, yes.  If there is a separate thread, discuss away!
