IMO: Sign Teddy to a 1-2 yr "prove it" deal on the cheap (sub-10m). Make Sloter the backup. Sign a vet (preferably) or draft a late rounder for depth.

I don't believe in Bradford's ability to hold up as a starter, and I believe we saw Keenum's ceiling this year (the floaters and 50/50 balls gave me ...

Sucks to get crushed like that, but I'm fairly optimistic about the future, and not really worried about Zimmer. My notes on the game and future...

1) Oline play. Our offensively line was not able to handle Philly's elite d-line, and the pressure directly resulted in turnovers and points. Our oline ...

...

One, I have to see them be able to throw the ball down the field. They didn't do that against the Rams, which was absolutely the right thing to do against a team with an amazing front 7. The went with short passes and screens and lots of runs to neutralize the pass rush, and it was smart, and ...

Wouldn't surprise me if they had been shopping him already in the offseason, even prior to this. But really...no sane front office would give us anything other than a bowl of soup and maybe a practice squad player for him. No one wants the contract , and everyone knows we're probably going to have ...

On the issue of "when should Teddy start?" , my answer is "as soon as starting would be beneficial to his development". You don't want to throw him to the wolves and play him when he's not grasping things and it may set his development and confidence back.

Cassel is a placeholder until that time ...

Who'd trade for him? What would they offer? Unfortunately, I think the answers right now are "no one" and "nothing".

If there were trading partners out there, I think the question would be "what's the least we'd take in trade for him?"

Probably sooner than expected, in light of recent news about Peterson's parenting practices.

So, in 09, the wife and I made an order at the nfl shop for two jerseys. For her, a born & raised Baltimoron, a Ray Rice jersey. For me, Adrian Peterson. At the time, it seemed like a safe bet...

This year, we got Torrey Smith and Teddy Bridgewater. This doesn't bode well.

Curious to see what Pats try to do defensively. I'm assuming they try to put 8 in the box and bring A gap pressure.

I typo'd. Then, I became the butt of jokes. Then, my state of residence became the butt of jokes.

Legit.

26-16 vikes.

I'll go 20-16 Vikings. I have a little voice in my head saying "you're crazy, you're drinking the koolaid", but that's what I'm going with.

I think AP gets off against a Pats D that had trouble stopping the run, and Cassel makes enough throws to put together some scoring drives (2 TDs, 4 FGs). I ...

What Mothman said :)

While you're right, they never worked together, Turner is still generally viewed as having come from the Coryell coaching tree and running offenses that are variations of Coryell's system. You're also right that his flavor of it is more balanced and way less "bombs-away", and ...

I went with "on the way" at this point. There's 2 things I need to see...

One, I have to see them be able to throw the ball down the field. They didn't do that against the Rams, which was absolutely the right thing to do against a team with an amazing front 7. The went with short passes and screens ...

Can't stay off the radar very long if the wins continue. A win next week probably is enough. If we should happen to also win in New Orleans? Forget it, media will be camped out on Zim's lawn.

We certainly have a chance, but Brady isn't a journeyman backup or a snow-white rookie 3rd stringer. He won't be as confused or flustered by blitz packages. We'll need to be able to run effectively, but my guess will be that Belichik will try to take that away and make Cassel beat him thru the air ...
