I hope this doesn't sound arrogant, but I almost never see a word I haven't ever seen before. I'm really excited now, thank you!Purple Reign wrote: Sorry to get technical here but a typo is the misspelling of a word. In this case using redzone instead of endzone would be considered more of a malapropism.
I guess you learned something new today then.DKSweets wrote:I hope this doesn't sound arrogant, but I almost never see a word I haven't ever seen before. I'm really excited now, thank you!
I stand corrected, sir!Purple Reign wrote: Sorry to get technical here but a typo is the misspelling of a word. In this case using endzone instead of redzone would be considered more of a malapropism.
As optimistic as i am about him my gut says Teddy might have been in big trouble yesterday, all other things being equal. It could have been a very rude welcome to the regular season and a starting NFL defense. Cassel did a good job with what he was allowed to do, so I don't know why you would even bring it up.28BreaksAnkles wrote:I just feel like Teddy could have EASILY matched Cassel's performance today, and say what you will..
But my gut says with him in, it would have been 45-6.
Pretty sure I saw one of those in Zoo once.Purple Reign wrote: Sorry to get technical here but a typo is the misspelling of a word. In this case using endzone instead of redzone would be considered more of a malapropism.
End zone should be two words.Purple Reign wrote: Sorry to get technical here but a typo is the misspelling of a word. In this case using endzone instead of redzone would be considered more of a malapropism.
In all fairness Teddy is a lot better versus the rush then Cassel.Mridens wrote: As optimistic as i am about him my gut says Teddy might have been in big trouble yesterday, all other things being equal.

Except I do know that. He was like it in college, continued into the preseason. Why would it change during the regular season? You can have your doubts, but I have none. You don't get the nickname GUMP for no reason..J. Kapp 11 wrote:But you don't know that.
He may be more mobile, but half the job in avoiding the rush is recognizing pre-snap where pressure is coming from and adjusting protection. Could Teddy do that as well as Cassel right now? Doubtful.
Everyone wants Teddy in. But to say he can handly the rush of the likes of Quinn better then Cassel is stretching it. Cassel did fine with the pressure, and when the Oline gave him time, he did great. Pre-season does not equal the regular season. And Im sure both Norv and Zimmer know what Teddy can bring.28BreaksAnkles wrote:Doubtful based upon What exactly? All we have to go by is pre-season tape and its CLEAR who handled blitzes and pressures better.
I agree. Actually, I thought the Rams provided strong pressure on Cassel and he kept his cool pretty well. That comes from experience, knowing what to do and when to do it.PurpleKoolaid wrote:Everyone wants Teddy in.
