That sounds good to me. Cole is definitely on his way down. He is still really strong against the run, so hopefully this year they will have a rotation unlike last year where Cole got all the snaps.

I am just going to speculate that Graham is too expensive for the Cowboys. Aside from picking up an end through the waiver wire, to me it seems the Cowboys are content with rolling with what they have on the roster.
Perhaps. I think she's a good actress (even if I think the Hunger Games movies are shit) and she's easily giffable.

Wow, I am surprised you dont like those movies. I liked the first but I thought that the 2nd was really good. Its weird since I liked the 1st book better then the 2nd. I really didnt like the 3rd book at all so I have no idea what to expect from the movies.
There will be half decent options come cut down time. Will Smith was just cut from the Patriots because he didn't fit well in their new 3-4, but I think he could still provide some rush for a 4-3 team.

They need it.
I agree that the third book is shit, I think they got the look of the movies right, but just something about the characters just seems flat.
I really liked Guardians of the Galaxy. But I'm a big movie fan so not sure my opinion holds any weight.

He is wrong. It's pretty good.
I doubt it. Graham can't play in space at all. Cole isn't great at it, but even at his age, he's athletic enough to be better than Graham.
Graham, like Curry, will get snaps as a DE in nickel and dime or whenever they run their 4-3 Under package.

Guardians of the Galaxy is a typical Marvel film, only funnier. If you've grown tired of meaningless, mind-numbing Marvel third acts, you might want to stay away.

True. My apologies :^}
Its a prototype, summer, popcorn flick. You'll laugh, you'll cry and then you'll go on GAF and bitch because it isn't Citizen Kane. "You're killing film!"

What do you guys think about this whole throwing to spots thing?
It's so weird for me posting at this time of day.
I think making the distinction is dumb/pointless unless you're specifically aiming to remove all traces of improvisation from the offense, i.e. "You throw to this exact spot at this exact time, no exceptions" (which is dumb in itself).
Edit: Sanchize's stock will be higher after the season if he plays well in mop-up duty for a good offense in Philly than it would be if he started for a garbage offense in St. Louis. Plus the Rams have to actually play against teams with defenses.
It's better to be a back up in heaven (Chip Kelly) than the ruler of hell (Brian Schottenheimer)
Why the heck is citizen king considered great/ classic. I try to watch all the so called great movies and that one isn't near the top of the list. I guess they probably did use filming techniques and angles that were new back then but the movie itself not so much.
...you mean the thing they teach you to do in middle school football?

It's because it is widely considered the first modern format film.

Ah. Feel bad for T2. Seems like a good guy and he busted his butt to come back from that third ACL tear. Hope he finds a home.
Ding ding, we have a winner. He gets to look great in Chip's system this whole preseason and maybe even in some regular season games if Foles gets banged up or the Eagles have a big lead. Then he cashes in next offseason and gets some control over where he goes as well.
I'm sure he can catch on somewhere. He was trying to win a spot in the best secondary in the league.

Is it always the primary emphasis as opposed to throwing to a receiver? I don't know how common it is for QB's to run plays without anyone there to catch the ball.
I prefer when the QB's guess were they are going to throw. Makes the game more interesting and keeps the WR's guessing.
Not sure they teach you that in middle school anymore.
I was at a picnic yesterday and we decided to play some touch football that was divided between the adults and the teenagers (most of whom were under 16). I expected these kids to school us olds but they were borderline retarded when it came to football. You talk about throwing to a spot or basically ahead of a receiver, but they didn't see to grasp the concept or many others (such as the line of scrimmage or how to lateral the ball). It was so bad that us olds got bored and left the game after 15 minutes.
Maybe this was just a group of defective kids or maybe kids are too used to playing football on Madden and their tablets to know what to do IRL.
Sanchez is lucky to even be in the league, dude won't be cashing in shit.
He's a complete fucking scrub.
Disgusting.
You are a Joe Flacco fan.
BLarry you seeing this shit?
And he is doing in your house!
He made Stephen Hill look good against the Bills!!
It's the primary emphasis if your QB is a child or a dumbfuck (or you work at Texas Tech/West Virginia).
So the primary emphasis is to waste valuable practice time by not letting WR's run routes and get on the same page with the QB as well as working on their hands. Sounds like great coaching. Right up there with the Dallas TE coach making them practice with bags on their heads.
I need more information about this shame bagging.

Thanks for the helpful insight.

If you want the Glanville explanation, it simplifies the QB's decision making by throwing to a spot based on binary information. At it's most Hawaiian implementation, your receivers are pretty much running 9s, 8s, or 6s.
Safety charges up, throw up top. Backer blitzes, throw 10-15 yards.
As you can imagine, this works great in college when secondaries are almost universally horrible. Or in the early 90s NFL when Jeff George is drunk.
Was about to follow that up with a Freeman joke, but man. Is this Freeman's twitter? Hasn't tweeted since things... happened. It's depressing. I feel bad. Bro, tacos on me today. Let me know.

So no benefit to practicing "throwing to spots" in the NFL, in your opinion?
Tannehill missed a wide open Mike Wallace on Saturday and he basically said it was his fault for throwing to the wrong spot. First time I've seen that terminology from him so I was just wondering how important that was in the new offense and what you guys' opinions were on it.
