He kind of is. His legend is based on one game basically.

Jaleel McLaughlin (DEN) is potentially someone to put on the deep cut watch list at RB.
In the mold of Darren Sproles at 5'7" 190lbs. 4.4 speed, shifty, good receiver, etc.
UDFA out of Youngstown State. NCAA all-time leading rusher at 8.2K yards (small school, 5 yrs).
Turning heads all throughout Broncos' TC to date. First showing last night was impressive (sans fumble out-of-bounds).
Increasing his odds daily of making the 53-man roster and may even make it as high as RB3 behind Perine and JW by start of season.
J. McLaughlin 8/11 preseason G1 highlights (nice screen pass at 0:20)

Richardson completed 2 short passes, Colts picked up a first down then an over throw by AR was intercepted.

James Cook scampers untouched for a 9 yard TD.

Second Colts drive AR gets 5 yards on a designed run then nice completion to Pittman Jr.
Chased out of the pocket and tackled for loss but def. penalty gives Colts 1st down.
3rd and 1 and 4th and 1 runs up the middle both fail.

Khalil Herbert taking a short pass to the house. First team offense out there for a quarter for the Bears.

Who had the Bears as the leagues most high flying offense?

Third drive for Colts starts inside their 10.
Jackson and Hull sharing carries and a screen pass to Hull gives Indy 2 first downs.
Nice 19 yard connection over the middle to Granson. Shot to Pierce from the 35 to the end zone just misses. 11 yard quick out completion to McKenzie. RB Jackson picks up 1st down. Then nice run on AR keeper comes back due to holding.
AR connects on screen to Hull but short of first down. FG attempt fails.

That’s probably it for Richardson today. Overall I’m very pleased with what I saw from his first outing.

Did Pierce drop a bomb from ar?
boilerdave
Footballguy
I’m not sure I would call it a drop. I think it was a nice throw from Richardson but still would have probably been a tough catch for most WRs to make.

Fair, unfortunately I wasn't able to watch just saw someone mention it

Absolutely a drop. That was a beautiful throw and placement.

Nice seeing Darius Rush with a long pick 6. I thought he flashed a lot of upside in college, but not enough consistency to be picked high.

It was a catchable ball. I don't know that I would call that a "drop", but you do want to see Alec Pierce secure that.
Weebs210
Footballguy
Hmm not sure I really understand. How can it be a catchable ball but not a drop
dnurk
Footballguy
Absolutely a drop. Tough catch for sure but had both hands on it. You could tell by his body language after he play (Pierce) that he knew he should have had it.
Great ball by AR but he also sailed at least 6 balls high, including the pick in the first series.
socrates
Footballguy
It would have been a pretty spectacular catch.

Panthers O Line not doing a good job keeping Bryce upright on that drive. Supposed to be a strength as they brought everyone back.

New news that's fit to priint: Zach Wilson isn't very good and hasn't gotten a whole lot better from last year.

The Jets defensive line has a bunch of sacks today. They kinda come in waves with all the bodies they have to rush the passer.
eta* Looks like one sack, a bunch of QB hits. All I know is that Young has been under a lot of pressure every time he drops back. They were talking about it at halftime.
eta2* I see Desert Power sort of covered it upthread. Whoops. And here I thought I was imparting observational wisdom.

When I see drop I assume easy catch, that was a catchable ball but wasn't a drop.

Yeah idk a good receiver pulls that in. Skill issue I guess. I can't watch a pass drop right into someone's hands and not call it a drop.

We are all guilty, but so much dissecting individual preseason plays, football is back but we all need real games sooner than later

Absolutely. Like bart Scott said, can't wait.We are all guilty, but so much dissecting individual preseason plays, football is back but we all need real games sooner than later

Was that mostly the 1s out there for the Jets defense?
Young looked fine. Poised in the pocket but not taking any risks with all the pressure.

Bumping him from QB86 to QB87.

In this Jaguars/Cowboys game Trevor Lawrence, Calvin Ridley, Christian Kirk, Evan Engram, Travis Etienne, and Tank Bigsby got practically the whole 1st quarter... I LOVE THAT.
You have a young QB and a new coach/kinda new offense with a new player in Ridley? Get them as many reps as you can. Don't sit them out, now they have work you can build on in practice the next week.

Neither the HC or OC are new, but just the fact you've got a WR1 who hasn't played in 657 days and needs reps with the franchise QB, totally makes sense.
I don't think the Jags had joint practices this week, right? Whereas Detroit and the NYG got In a lot of good work, it kind of made sense for both teams to rest starters. When you've got multiple fields going simultaneously everyone is getting twice the reps. Next week Detroit and Jax have joint practices followed by a game on Saturday afternoon. Will be interesting to see how the coaches handle it, Game 2 is sort of the new dress rehearsal game but a lot of teams are comfortable keeping veteran stars on the bench all PS. Obviously Jameson Williams will play a ton of snaps but I'm interested to see how MCDC handles the rest of the starters.

While I did not like the Panthers pick, any rookie will take some growing pains before a declaration of that finality is branded on his profile.
His bad game was not 100% his. The whole Offense looked bad.

Corbett still out with his knee surgery from last year. RG is a turnstile right now. Three different guys on their first three drives.

Sorry for the late response. No, it wasn't. I didn't see John Franklin-Myers, Carl Lawson, or Quinnen Williams out there (DL). Sauce Gardner didn't play, nor did D,J. Reed (CB). The starting safeties were inactive. So were the starting linebackers, C.J. Mosley and Quincy Williams.
Carolina got spanked by the B squad. That does not portend great things for Carolina. That was supposed to be their first-team offense. As a Jets fan, I'm realizing our roster might be really deep, which we're going to need given that we play a murderous schedule this year. We'll be extraordinarily fortunate to be 10-7, and the team's talent is very solid.

Justin Tucker is twice the man I'll ever be, and I'm okay admitting that. From opera to language to dunking 60-yarders with ease, that guy is something from out of this world. HoF.
