All 32 teams get a modern look to their traditional helmet designs:

Some good (Niners), some bad (Texans) some vomit inducing (Dolphins, Hawks).

No

So he made the logos bigger and in some cases put in an ugly background.

So glad I now know about bro bible.

This was horrible to be honest.

So Kubiak said he's going to run what Manning does best and therefore concede running the offense.

Won't be full control, I'm certain. You'll probably see more of what Indy did in the early years mixed with a healthy dose of ZBS rushing.

Kubes even went so far as to say some of the stuff he and Shanny did was modeled after Indys offense with Manning.

Guess we'll have to see, but I trust them to make something good.

So Kubiak can do that in Denver but two years ago in Houston he couldn't?

From what I've gathered, Schaub had low football IQ and Kubes never really trusted him to run the offense. Thus he never relinquished full control.

Think of it like this, Kubes probably sees Manning more as a peer and Schaub as a subordinate. Therefore the trust and history is there for him to approach Manning to work together to build and execute an offense together, rather than have someone just execute it like Schaub.

Once Manning is done, Brock will be in the same shoes as Schaub. Very little control at first, more and more responsibility as he proves capable of executing the plays passed down. You know Kubes pride is in the O, but with Manning he has to adapt to him and vice versa. If it was a lower tier guy or inexperienced I'd be fine with Kubes taking the reins.

Is it as horrible as the packers in the playoffs tho

I love ya Slay but you are completely wrong on this one. Absolutely 100% incorrect. Ask ANY Texans insider, beat writer or casual blogger and they will all verify this.

I'm surprised Andre Johnson won't take a paycut so they can sign Mallet.

I think Brobible is just reposting something someone else did

Most of the designs are boring though, not interesting like the Star Wars themed helmets someone did.

Almost as bad. Let's not get crazy here.

If Mel Kiper's initial mock drafts over the last 5 years were 100% accurate, here's who your team would have drafted:

Interesting hypothetical

 

[jbug617]

RG3 is the starter

@BenVolin: Jay Gruden says #Redskins will go into next season with RG3 as the starter

 

[ActStriker]

Did he say that with a gun to his head by Snyder?

 

[BigAT]

RG3 is the starter

The gift that keeps on giving.

Spoiler

For opposing NFC East teams.

 

[MRSA]

Pats fans are the worst.

 

[ampere]

Man imagine if we had JJ Watt.

Our defense is already amazing, would be sick.

 

[jakncoke]

Dammit tomorrow suppose to be cold as fuck again.

 

[Plasticine]

Zach Zaidman ‏@ZachZaidman
Fox says he will run a 3-4 base

Rich Campbell @Rich_Campbell

Fox on if DEs Allen & Young will be OLBs in 3-4: We'll line them up there. What they become will be up to them.

Not like they had the talent to run a 4-3 successfully, so why not switch to what Fangio does best.

Damn 49ers would be so good

Cap related:

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter 7m7 minutes ago
NFL notified teams today that it expects this year's salary cap to be between $140 and $143 million, at least $1.5M higher than projected.

 

[jakncoke]

Guess that squashes the 160 rumor

 

[MechDX]

Damn 49ers would be so good

You guys would have Watt and Hopkins and I would be stuck with Johnny Rehab

 

[manfestival]

What the fuck is this "kappa" thing I'm seeing pop up in threads?

Someone explain it to us olds.

..and Fitzgeralds new contract:

Ian Rapoport ‏@RapSheet 10m10 minutes ago
On Larry Fitzgerald’s deal: It’s technically a 4-year deal for cap reasons, but the last 2 years void. $22M fully guaranteed over 2 yrs

And Aldon Rehab. It'd be like a full blown pharmacy in there.

How is man festival gonna try and tell us he's not SNES when he keeps posting the same twitch shit that I see on snes's twitter

I'll take your word for it, but it seems like Schaub had all the tools, just couldn't put it together.

I understand he's an intelligent guy in general, but some have questioned his football IQ. Whether that is true I don't know. It's just a bit damning when Kubes won't turn the offense over to him. Is it a matter of being a control freak or Schaub not being fully capable? We'll probably never know, but I'd imagine it's a gray area.

 

[Fox318]

RG3 is the starter

starting what?

Subway spokesman?

IR figurehead?

Highest paid bitch in football?

NFL Draft Muncher

Combines mock drafts from around the web and shows which players are being mocked where and can be narrowed down by team

I see Dragon never really left.

That stings slay. Uncalled for.

 

[Lonestar]

My organization traded a 1st round pick for Trent Richardson. It was such a terrible decision that we used his pregnant girlfriend as an excuse to suspend him, and option out of paying him so we can free up some cap space this coming year.

Discuss.

Yeah, Arbitration's gonna get him that money once he files a grievance :lol

 

[Fox318]

Marcus Mariota or Amari Cooper are the only 2 people I want to see the jets pick.

Unless they can get a haul of draft picks.

Unless snes goes out of his way to post about playstation and DOTA related stuff, that's not snes.

Also snes uses apostrophes in his contractions if you want to get super technical.

That is disrespectful.

That is no way to talk about your king and his alt.
