Although I remember wanting Doctson. 

I was desperate for a QB. Any QB. At least Lee has been better than Lynch.

 

[ConnSKINS26]

Perine has one decent run and then possibly sprained his ankle. Sounds about right.

I made a joking post on a Skins board the other day about the parallels between the Skins RB situation now and the Falcons situation a couple years ago--Perine in the Freeman role with the disappointing rookie season as a 4th round pick who had good tape but meh measurables, Guice in the Coleman role as the explosive 2nd round pick expected to be the man, who gets injured and allows the former 4th rounder to break out...with the "what if" angle of Perine having the game slow down and running with the power and decisiveness he showed at times in college. 

Will never happen but the situations are similar on a shallow first glance. 

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Sammy!

 

[rockaction]

Did anybody tune in to watch them run Powell tonight?

Powell's mother did...

 

[NYRAGE]

McBride has had a good summer. So much for our drafted guys from last year.

 

[rockaction]

I think I've figured out why his Y/A was so low last week. 

There's no line. 

 

[rockaction]

[rockaction]

Creative play calling on second and one.

Hansen will stick around. Stewart is gone, baby, gone.

I didn't tune in for it, but I like watching him play. I never understood why he hasn't been utilized more, especially last year with Forte running in quicksand.

I still think Coleman is the better back.

Same here. He always looks better as the season goes on. I have no idea what they were doing with Forte last year.  

See, I wanted to tank.

Better than who?

We all did, well except for one person that continuously chided us for it.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Rawls is alive.

 

[NYRAGE]

Brent Qvale needs to be shot into the sun.

 

[ConnSKINS26]

Better than who?

Freeman I think, given the comparison I was making

 

[Dr. Octopus]

ok - solid series for Sam. Nothing spectacular but showed some poised, moved around and once again showed great accuracy.

 

[rockaction]

Freeman I think, given the comparison I was making

Yeah, Freeman.  

 

[rockaction]

We all did, well except for one person that continuously chided us for it.

Yeah, I'm totally kidding. Holy crikey those were fun discussions to read.  

"No, you don't understand. Nobody wants us to tank." 

"See, the problem with you guys wanting them to tank is..."

 

[SameSongNDance]

Yeah, Freeman.

Coleman is a better athlete than he is RB. He's pretty stiff and has so-so vision, he's just crazy fast in a straight line. I'm not sure Coleman is even half as talented as Freeman to be honest but I respect your opinion because you're a fan of Aesop Rock. 

 

[Dr. Octopus]

That’s cool. We get more Sammy.

Wow. Okay. I'll defer to your knowledge.  

And yes. Huge fan. Just took him in a music draft in the FFA. 

 

[ConnSKINS26]

Would like to see Marshall on offense (bad timing for this comment after the fumble on his KR). Gruden seems to like him and has repeatedly said he wants a backup RB on the roster who can fill Chris Thompson's role. That's either Marshall or Bibbs based on the current roster. And one of those guys will play, knowing CT's injury history 

 

[rockaction]

Looks like we'll get to see Sam inside the twenty again.

eta* Guess not. 

 

[NYRAGE]

Thomas is fighting for his roster spot. It's going to be tough. Flowers offers a lot of versatility.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Dammit

I thought that was a great UDFA pickup. Flowers offers some playmaking ability as a FB.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

I hated the Sheapherd pick during the draft but he looks like he can be a beast.

 

[yellowdog]

Soooo, are we gonna have to listen to Jeff Triplette for replay expertise?

And why are my letters so tiny?

 

[Ilov80s]

Kelley is just awful.  

He is the worst RB prospect to get meaningful playing time in the NFL in my lifetime. 

 

[rockaction]

Oh Sims. So open. Such a drop.

#### happens. No. You accidentally clicked the x subscript 2 button, probably.

Lucky INT.   Man, it's painful to watch Lee look so lost out there on almost every play.

I remember how happy Bowles was to have drafted him. 

 

[Ilov80s]

I personally think he's been a huge bust. Thanks for the info. 

Lee has been a disaster. Shades of Vernon Gholston.

 

[yellowdog]

Yep. We need a test forum for stuff like that.

 

[ConnSKINS26]

He's like a 2nd percentile athlete at the position. Its kind of amazing he even got a camp invite out of college. He's so bad, his meh performance in the NFL so far really shows how replaceable the position is with a decent OL. The Skins barely have a decent OL and he has far exceeded anything he had any right to do. 

 

[NYRAGE]

That is all you need to know.

 

[ConnSKINS26]

Bibbs was one of Cecil's mancrushes in DEN, right? 

 

[Dr. Octopus]

God I hate how Mac has ignored the o-line.

 

[rockaction]

Bibbs was one of Cecil's mancrushes in DEN, right? 

I don't remember. I remember when I listened to the Audible and would hear about a new running back every week. 

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Nice tough run by Powell.

The Skins barely have a decent OL and he has far exceeded anything he had any right to do. 

and he did absolutely nothing in college. As a 23 year old senior at Tulane, he had 265 total yards and averaged 3.6 ypc in 12 games. There were 2 players with more rushing yards than him and 6 players with a better ypc. 

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Go for it here - it’s preseason.

Doesn't he love evert young Bronco player?

 

[rockaction]

I think they have to.

Like Atlanta last week with that FG attempt with time running out.
