Tonight's Games (1 Viewer)

[DoubleG]

Its just a matter of time until GB realizes he's not as good a fit as all the people on FBG think he is.

Kinda humorous given numerous GB players & scouts have said he looks like tremendous fit.You can do the Google.

Coachspeak. They say lots of things this year. Especially for a player they just signed.

The bolded part kinda means they went out and CHOSE to pay him...so they probably actually do see him fitting in with their offensive plan...or else WTH would they have signed him? This aint coachspeak for some 3rd year player he's stuck with.

Anywhere for watching the Seahawks game tonight?

Google search for first row sports and click on the American football tab. They always have the games if you're willing to cope with some pop-ups and spam ads.

Yeah just tried there but it won't load. :(

"Eventually, you'd like to see Cedric be in position to stay in there for all three downs," running backs coach Alex Van Pelt said. "But I don't think he's done a lot of third down."

Yea, it's clearly a terrible sign when the running backs coach says he hopes Benson can eventually play on all three downs.

Id hope the running backs coach would say something that. His job depends on making their #1 successful. Theres plenty of tape on what Benson is. Best case scenerio he's The packer version of BJGE, worse case Alex Green starts by the bye week.

 

[drummer]

Checking out 49ers v Bolts. Rivers looks like he will play tonight.

Greg The Leg Zuerlien short from 62 (by 1 yard according to Rams message board), makes 59 yarder.

this guy might be the steal of the the nfl draft

Using Firefox. It pops up a window very briefly which closes immediately. I had set it to allow popups from it. Tried IE too but it wouldn't work either.

 

[EBF]

It works. I watch all kinds of soccer games on there.

Sometimes you have to try the other links or refresh.

The site is riddled with ads, but if you can tolerate that then you can usually get a pretty smooth broadcast.

I've got in on Firefox - maybe check you have the latest Flash?

Quizz finishes with 5-24-1TD. Anyone see the TD - between the tackles, around the end, a gimme?

Jags turned it over around their own five. Quizz scored on a counter off-tackle. Defensive back had him one on one and dove at his ankles but didn't wrap up.

Looked more like a draw play to me.

I'm not going to argue that Benson is anything special. He isn't. He's probably in the bottom 10 starting RBs in the league. However, in order to lose his job there would have to be a better option on the roster, and none of the horses in Green Bay's stables have better credentials. I totally get why fans call for players like Benson and Shonn Greene to be benched, but at the end of the day they are the best backs on their teams and that's why they play. Doesn't mean that a guy like Alex Green can't leapfrog him, but I don't see much in Green's profile to make me think that's likely. Benson was serviceable on the Bengals and he'll be playing with a much better supporting cast in Green Bay. I think there's good short term potential there.

Got it. Had to disable Flashblock entirely, it wasn't letting me launch the flash content normally.

I was referring to the coachspeak. You can read into that whatever you like. Seems to me a 29 year old back can't pass protect.I will concede he is the starter (for now). What I predict is that the offense will click better with someone else and he will be relegated to backup/goalline duty.

Who was expecting him to play 3rd down? It's going to be Saine or Alex Green.Was going to post why Benson would be their 2 down bruiser, but you did a terrific job for me

 

[cr8f]

Beautiful pass by Wilson that was broken up.

 

[drummer]

2 turnovers by the Bolts, one a Gates fumble, now a Rivers pick in the RZ. Kaep came halfway thru the first 49er drive, and led both TD drives, one after the Gates TO.

 

[Vector]

Rivers turning the ball over... its deja vu all over again

Whitehurst in now for the Bolts.

I have visions of Jake Delhomme right now.

 

[drummer]

Kaep with another TD throw. Throws a lot better on the run than from the pocket. Nice arm and effortless motion.

 

[sho nuff]

What's everyone's opinion on Alex Green VS Benson?

Green needs to run the ball better if he wants many carries.Looks great receiving out of the backfield...scored on a nice screen pass.But his running has been sub-par.

 

[Vector]

Seahawks running all over Oakland right now with Lumpkin and Taua.

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

Seahawks running all over Oakland right now with Lumpkin and Toua.

Lumpkin is looking pretty quick and impressive.Not sure how much stock you put in the final game of the preseason, or (sadly) in the Raiders defensive depth, but if I'm Carroll, I'd certainly throw Lumpkin some more change-up touches during the season.

 

[Gr00vus]

Dixon looked good on his short yardage carries for the 49ers so far tonight. Looks like he runs a bit too upright, but the results have been good so far. Something to stash away for people in TD heavy leagues if Gore misses time - seems like Dixon would be the short yardage guy, even if Hunter gets the majority of the carries overall.

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

Taua is looking hardnosed out there too. Not sure he wil lmake the suqad, but he is definitely making his case. They should try to keep him as a fullback.

 

[12punch]

lumpkin delivering the mail

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

Beanie looks real solid running.

Ryan Lindley with a badly underthrown INT intended for Floyd. (It was overturned by questionable roughing the passer penalty)

Dixon is on the bubble I think, but he has had a pretty good pre-season. Good enough for Harbaugh to keep, I dunno.

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

Michael Floyd with a nice jugging catch for TD between 2 defenders. Good concentration.

Looks like he's good for max/min 3 yards a carry. James looks like an oompa loompa out there. Reuland (spell check needed) showing some nice hands.

 

[drummer]

Josh Johnson in at QB. Dunno how the QB depth chart will shake out, but I hope they keep Tolzien.

 

[Gr00vus]

His time in Seattle seems to have had a negative impact on Jesushurst's development.

 

[bonesman]

saw a couple good, tough runs from Knowshon tonight.

Palmer must hate Tolzien.

SF Gate posted in their blog that TZ was a lock to make the roster. Maybe Harbaugh is just getting a better look at JJ to see if change his mind on that.

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

saw a couple good, tough runs from Knowshon tonight.

He's looked pretty good. His 17 yard run was tremendous run blocking.JMO He should be the 3rd down back for the Broncos. (Give Hillman a redshirt year / if he progresses late in season, bring him in for the fresh legs)Maybe if that happens, deal Moreno around the Week 9 deadline if a team needs a back.Hard to tell if they're showcasing him or not. IMO He's the 2nd best back on the team ...right now. With his ability in blitz pickup, I don't know why they'd deal him (unless another team blows their socks off with offer)

 

[Vector]

Wow...

NFC West taking it to the AFC West in these final games.

 

[CapnJB]

When Bruce Irvin learns how to play NFL ball... he is going to be really exciting to watch. He's on fire.

 

[Deamon]

I still can't wait for the oakland seattle game.......

I'll take "phrases never said in the 2000's for $500 Alex"

It sure seemed like a showcase.

 

[Donnybrook]

Per KFFL:

New Orleans Saints CB Johnny Patrick (knee), WR Joseph Morgan (arm), RB Travaris Cadet (undisclosed) and SS Jose Gumbs (undisclosed) each suffered injuries in the preseason game Thursday, Aug. 30.

Anyone know the severity of the injuries to Morgan and Cadet?

 

[Loan Sharks]

Beanie looks real solid running.

Just came here to post this, Beanie Wells is 100% and looking good.

Don't forget Alex Green is recovering from an ACL tear in week 7 last year. He's 9 months into an 18 month recovery.

Yep and he's been on a play count.In PPR leagues Green could be worth starting. His blocking is getting better and he has good speed and can take screens to the house. He's been a late round pick in a lot of drafts lately.

Greg The Leg Zuerlien short from 62 (by 1 yard according to Rams message board), makes 59 yarder.

this guy might be the steal of the the nfl draft

If the Rams only get close enough for 60 yd FGs in preseason, this guy will really need to work on his distance for the regular season.

If the defense keeps giving up 6's, it will be tough to send him out for the 3's.
