Brown was studly for one half against Miami when they called a ton of plays for AB. IIRC, he had 8 targets in a half. The Dolphins defense was a disaster early in the season. They allowed 102 points IN TWO GAMES. Let’s not go crazy on how awesome Brown looked in his only game in NE.
IIRC, I read weeks ago that Tampa planned on keeping the Arians offense and was planning on adding some things that Brady wanted / suggested. Who knows if that is just subterfuge, but I don’t think they will be running a system similar to NE. I have felt all along that Brady getting in tune with his receivers will be more difficult than some are making it out to be and it will take some time. We will have to see if Brady can fit In with longer developing routes much farther downfield than he has been running in recent years.Just Win Baby said:
Zeke tested positive and got sick. He's indicated he couldn't workout or practice and has been struggling to breath normally. COVID has been said to potentially cause long-term lung damage. If Elliott is not the same after this and his career goes sideways, is that not enough to get players concerned that they really could be messing with their livelihood and long-term health?
That Covid is serious stuff is accepted fact but some for whatever reason want to try and make it even worse than it actually is. My niece (40) had covid, my daughter, son in law (both Drs) and likely my grandson all had it. None of them required hospitalization and none had serious symptoms. That doesn't mean it isn't a deadly disease because it certainly is, particularly for those over 60 and those with under lying conditions. But for the vast majority of healthy people under 50 it is not a serious issue.
Just a random number, 12 healthy athletes playing outside. Highly unlikely they get it there and even more unlikely it would be any worse than a cold. If you or anyone wants to crunch the numbers be my guest.
Ezekiel Elliott said he’s “feeling normal” after testing positive for COVID-19 on June 15.
I mean, sure it's unlikely they'd get it at their workout. However if one of them does have covid (fairly likely), then they all would likely get it during this workout. If they all got tested that morning, and went and played outside, then I see no actual risk of getting covid. But it's still not great for them to be doing this and setting this standard, as the next 12 guys might not be so lucky or have been tested. Or 12 kids think its cool to go and do this and then it spreads. You're right that their symptoms would be minor, but the best thing to do is play it safe so that it doesn't spread to people it actually could affect.
His exact quote was:
I hope he took RoJo & Mike Evans down to the crossroads,called up Scratch & showed them where to sign.It almost seems as if Brady has made a Faustian bargain to retain his youth.
I drafted him about a round past his ADP. I was waiting on QB, and he was still just sitting there.
Seems like Arians is always bad about doing this kind of stuff. Granted, I don't always pay attention to him, but whenever I hear about post game comments, it seems like it's always about what the player did wrong, not what the coaches could have done better. Erin Andrews even said today that he called some of their penalties in the first half "dumb." Even if true, there are better ways to say it.yabahos said:
I’m pretty pessimistic, but come on. The level of competition here is kind of important. The Saints’ pass rush and secondary are both really good.
We like to call it experience, which means he would never let a CB jump his intended target's route to give up an easy pick 6.....oh wait.At least he's older
Wasn't it expected that it would take time for Brady and all of his receivers to get on the same page? Yeah, they gave COVID the middle finger and practiced as much as they could, but game action is the best way to get up to speed. That said, Brady is old and just isn't going to be as consistent from play to play as he used to be, but I think he'll still have a very good season stats-wise overall once it's all said and done.
First part is true, but not sure how you think Brady and then entire offense won't get better. I mean no pre-season, new team and system, his #1A or #1B WR was clearly not healthy...I'm guessing next week they will look a lot better.
He looks bad for the same reasons he looked bad at the end of last season. His arm is weakening. He doesn't want to get hit. He's going to get hit.
The 2 point conversion was an academic exercise.
