NFL Discussion Thread: Pats win SB XLIX. Offseason begins

[freddie black]

@Gil_Brandt

After their TNF game, #Chargers will play 1 game in 23 days -- longest span an NFL team has ever gone playing just 1 game. Schedule quirk.

Am I missing something? They play the Dolphins Nov. 2nd.

Right. Starting from the 24th of October they only play the Dolphins until they play Oakland on November 16th.

I never ever got the Locker hype...outta HS, in college, or in the NFL


I'll give him credit that the hype outta HS carried him into them NFL checks

Should have picked baseball.

DeMarco Murray bought iMacs for the entire O line. Smart man.

Top-4
1. Broncos
2. Ravens
3. Colts
4. Packers

The Seahawks, Cowboys, and Chargers are the three teams that I can be convinced about in any order.
Cowboys and Chargers defenses are both 17-23 in DVOA.

Fam, you're smarter than this...

The AFC is weak as hell, how can you quite possibly believe they possess three of the top 4 teams in the league? Broncos and Cowboys are easily top two TODAY.

Heard he was good at safety too

What was ole boy's name who played QB at Nebraska in like 01 or so?

Didn't he get tried out at safety.. I think it was with the Rams.. Or he was adamant he would only play QB or something like that

 

[pacificnorsewst]

Crouch. Tried WR/S.

I think he was pretty willing. Just wasn't very good.

All I remember was the cut hip that '01 miami team threw on him and that Nebraska team in the national championship game.. That's when you really saw how different the talent levels were on those two teams

Crouch. Tried WR/S.

Not according to him.  At least the first time around

 
“I was 23, engaged to be married and trying to adjust to a new city, a new team, a new level of football and a new position,’’ Crouch, now 34, said last week via phone from the NFL’s Sports Journalism and Communication Boot Camp at Bowling Green State University. “And then there were the injuries that kept me from performing at the level I was used to. Everything seemed to be stacked against me.’’

Crouch continued: “Looking back now, I should’ve used my rookie year as a learning experience. I was in an ideal situation for a young receiver, working with Mike Martz alongside guys like Isaac Bruce, Torry Holt and Ricky Proehl.

“But I was never passionate about being a receiver.’’

 “I tried to convince myself that I could become a receiver, but playing quarterback has always been my passion. I misled Mike Martz and the rest of the NFL, and that’s something I regret.’’

11 years later is a lot of hindsight for self-reflection. All I know is that he was straight up told move to receiver or he won't get drafted. Don't remember hearing a peep out of him about it.

 

[mr marcus]

Yea I remember Crouch misleading them and then he retired out the blue

Gotdamn at there being 3 London games this year, didn't realize that

You should only be mad if you're a falcons fan

Nah, the niners played there last year and in 2010...

Not tryna be subjected to 9am games in the future or my squad losing home games to appeal to some damn Englishmen

 

[Hahahaha]

A team in London is an awful idea. All that traveling, guaranteed poor football games. I hope it's an AFC team.

 

[jaysfiend23]

If the uk is taking a team bye bye jags

 

[flyerthandelta]

Bye bye raiders if y'all don't go to LA

 

[dmxfury]

A Uk team is a nightmare scenario. 18 game schedule sucks as well, Roger sucks

 

[robotea]

are there still talks about a team heading to LA?

 

[flyerthandelta]

are there still talks about a team heading to LA?

Yes they recently spoke about it at the owners meeting last wk

 

[proshares]

Eric Crouch what a throw back. Dude won the Heisman in 01 as well. I don't recall if he was doing well or not with the Rams but he got nailed against the Titans I believe and they had to drain blood from his leg. Then he retired. IIRC, he was not that open to being a WR.

Follow

Roger Goodell is being forced to testify at the Ray Rice hearing by judge's ruling, per source.

Good!

 

[stillin729]

at least the Titans didn't take Locker with the #1 overall pick which is where many thought he would go if he didn't go back for his last year
