I went to VT, Ford was one of the few things I was excited about in the upcoming season.
Poop. That channel never comes in right for me.
You might be snake-bitten, friend. Have you checked your basement for evidence of Satanic rituals?

Damn, Wilfork is retiring? He was one of the very few respectable Pats, which is probably why he left.

Vince 4 Hall of Fame!!!!!
He shared his knowledge with all three of these guys. Took DJ reader under his wing last year and mentored him. Reader had an outstanding 2nd half of the season. he told Clowney before he signed in Houston he wouldnt come unless JD committed himself to be great.
His daughter just wanted to meet JJ.

I could've sworn wilfork announced he was done like a week after they lost in the playoffs?
Good thing you can still go!
No. he said he would play it by ear and take his time. As I mentioned before when the Texans drafted Reader last year he knew his time was running out. he handled it with pure class though saying he would welcome Reader and willingly mentor him. From reports they spent a lot of time together not just on the field but off as well. He is class.
Eagles training camp updates:
CBs - still a tire fire
Wentz:
Pros - His accuracy has improved drastically compared to OTAs and last year, especially with deep throws
Cons - Decision making is inconsistent. One day he's making perfect decisions and has really good ball placement, the next day his decision making is questionable and he forces balls where they shouldn't go for easy INTs
WRs - can actually catch

This isn't a huge con to me at this point. Firstly because he's only thrown what? 3 INTs all camp? Second because camp is the time to take risks to see what can work and what can't work. If it happens throughout the preseason it's a different story.
What a shame.
Between the bad CBs, a weak running game and a now good-possibly-great WR corps, Wentz is going to be throwing a ton this season. (Fantasy football alert!)
You at the camp?
Oh I don't have a problem with it, just passing along what's happened so far. Even if it does continue, I wouldn't be too worried. He's a 2nd year player that, before opening against the Browns, had only started like 28 games of football in his life. He didn't start playing until senior year of high school and only played a season and a half in college. So I'm not too worried about him not looking like a finished product. It seems like he's made a ton of progress, but he's in his 2nd year and came out of college pretty raw. He's not gonna suddenly be an elite QB, he'll still have some growing pains.
Plus I have a feeling that won't entirely go away. I've said it before but I see a lot of Favre (at least in mentality) in Wentz. He'll always try to make the play, and sometimes that results in poor decisions, but you take the good with the bad
I don't think we'll have a weak running game. Our OL was good when healthy, they just had a massive amount of injuries last year, and even if the same thing happens this year we have a lot of depth. And they finally got the big bruising back (that can stay healthy) in Blount to handle short yardage situations. He won't be a bellcow, I'd be a little surprised if he got over 150 touches for the season, but he'll be good to pound out a few yards. Now obviously Doug is a disciple of Andy, we're still probably getting somewhere in above 55/45 pass/run ratio. But I think they'll try to run it more, and while they don't have a 3 down back, they have a lot of complimentary pieces. Wentz will still probably be tossing near the highest rates in the league, but I'd hope they'd tone it down a little bit
No I've just been reading coverage. But after 12 days of training camp notes these points keep popping up, so they're at least somewhat true
His success was largely due to the scheme, the Bills essentially became an option football team. No other team in recent years, not Cam and not Chips teams, utilized the option and blew teams up via the run like the Bills. Tyrod was the key to the Bills rushing attack, and the rushing attack was critical to the 1 on 1 shots he had downfield. All that goes away this year, there will be no devastating rushing attack, this zone run scheme wont do more for Tyrod. Tyrod was put into good opportunities, he just didn't play as well as he could have. He's limited in some respects, he could use help at WR (Sammy needs to stay healthy), buts it's not the inept and awful city that's holding Tyrod back. This year he's going to throw the ball a lot more, and so far, he hasn't had a good camp,
Edit: picking up Boldin is good for the WR room, lots of young guys, but not sure what it will do for the onfield product.

He was a reach in the third round.
Lucky guy.
I miss being young and afraid to ask some girl out on a date. At my age that is not intimidating at all.
Granted he is probably going to be destroyed when she lies and tells him that she has a boyfriend but the point is that it is nice to be young.
You young fools take advantage while you can. If you don't you are going to be the dirty old man at the club like Ninja and DM, who while both having rooftop access don't look as cool at the bar as they did 8 years ago.
While this may happen, I have a hard time believing Cris Carter has any sort of exclusive inside info.

Love this gif.
The people picking him off are Eagles Cornerbacks. They probably dropped 3/4ths.

You better have 2000 for the purse I'm going to buy during an eight hour shop a thon.

They'll get enough wins to get like the 6th pick.
What 5 teams do worse than the Jets?
Eric Rowe having a good camp here. Establish as the 3rd best after Butler and Gilmore
