***NY Giants at Seattle -11 (47.5)***

Knee to the back of the head I didn’t see it doesn’t sound great though -
I’d love to see the Ravens go after Golladay in free agency this year. That’s the kind of wr we need. Big, make contested catches, reliable 3rd and long target. Brown’s ceiling is probably Brandin Cooks, I respect both players but you can’t catch balls you can’t reach (do wish Brown would learn to draw PI like Cooks though, definitely not there yet)

The plan was also for Hollywood to be a legit nfl WR. We passed up Metcalf for Brown if you can believe that. They hadnt gone multiple TE sets nearly as much as last two years with Lamar, I think the coaching staff was looking at last year Lamar as the baseline and changing the offense to suit. Hasn’t worked out that way of course.

Joseph Tyler Mixon - Bengals RB
jtp1982 replied to Interseptopus's topic in The Shark Pool (NFL Talk)
On the bright side the Bengals trainers and coaching staff realized there’s a 10-11 week recovery timetable 7 weeks into the injury and that sure beats the AJ Green scenario last year. Way to suck at your jobs slightly less this year guys. -
The Metcalf hype is certainly legit. It’s all we Ravens fans talk about this year with the Ravens passing game what it is and how we passed up Metcalf for Hollywood. Like you said he’s getting there. Can’t imagine he’s drafted outside of the top 12 WRs next year in most leagues. And you can see that being spot on you can also see it taking one more year I feel like, it will be fun to watch.

Dynasty & Redraft: RB D’Andre Swift, Lions
jtp1982 replied to Faust's topic in The Shark Pool (NFL Talk)
It’s gotta be something like that. Rare but when guys fall at home or something and are injured you usually hear that as the explanation, but Lions aren’t saying anything. Detroit Free Press: “It's unclear when Swift suffered his injury. He was a full participant in practice Wednesday and held a post-practice video conference with reporters.” Full contact Wednesday practice with your just named starting RB would be peak Patricia too. Link to DFP story quoted above. -
The slow motion disaster of the Patrica years makes me hope teams will learn to stop giving 3 years to coaching situations that are obviously not working out. I wanted it to work out. Lions D was heavily underrated Patricia’s first year. But something that resembles improvement from year 1 to year 2 is more than a reasonable expectation in literally any high level managerial job outside of NFL teams. I feel like this third year with wonder boy is just an unnecessary waste of a year in the relatively short life of an NFL starter.
-
Not a Detroit guy but just watching from the outside the D is already trending in the right direction but the offense just doesn’t seem to have an identity and the coaching/ team management really has been awful at times. 2 big question marks for me going into next year will be: 1) Can they make the right OC hire? Absolutely crucial. Stafford’s not going to make it happen by himself like Rodgers or Roethlesberger have at times but within a well coached offense he can be a great QB. Watching him as a Ravens fan he’s similar to Flacco in this way though obviously more talented.
-
Where it showed that not having Tate hurt them IMO is when Stafford mentioned needing to find a outlet when he’s under pressure as something he needs to improve on after that game. They need to give him a consistent outlet guy so it’s easier for him to find his outlet instead of using 7 different players for that role throughout the game. Make that a slot guy like Tate was for him, or a satellite back type RB guy like James White is for Brady, doesn’t matter, they just gotta make it easier for him to consistently find his outlet under pressure.
