Browns got better but Im really not sold on Mayfield, Taylor will win them games throwing to Coleman, Gordon and Landry. Hyde and Duke Johnson out of the back field.
D is not a major concern for them with Garrett and Collins…now Ward and Peppers.
Niners draft had me scratching my head a little. They must really think Reuben Foster will not be suspended (let alone, jailed) for his domestic violence issues. Hmm.
Lo and behold, Shanahan and Lynch knew what they were doing. Apparently Foster’s ex made the whole thing up. She had actually been injured in a fight with another female. This led to Foster breaking up with her and then she told him she was going to “f&%k up his career”. Insane.
There you go. Had no idea it was the same. Hang tough, Neal!
Here is my Dwight Clark story. I was lucky enough to get tickets to a Niners v Arizona game that included a walk on the sidelines pre-game and then a seat in one of the owner’s suites. Halfway through the 1st Q this tall, gregarious man walks in. The mood in the room lifted as he went around introducing himself and shaking hands. It was Dwight Clark. He treated each person as an individual, asked their name, and signed copies of the famous SI Cover of “the catch”. I have it my copy at my desk at work. I was little tongue tied but managed to ask him about the Niners QB situation (this was in the middle of the “Mike Nolan is coach and Alex Smith is no good” debacle). He thought about it and then whispered “the coach is destroying the QB”, gave a wink, slapped my shoulder and moved on.
Hall of Fame game is on Friday. Then next weekend Pre Season games begin. Takes about 15 mins of preseason to realise pre season games suck! bring on September
This is a very insightful article by Earl Thomas (Seahawks safety currently on a contract disagreement holdout). Supporters (specially in the US) often rely on “shut up, you get paid millions!” argument. This is eye opening to the players’ point of view:
