[Genghis Khan]

It'll be interesting to see if Trent Cole adapts to the 3-4 at all. If not he might shake loose.

 

[boozeman]

Vinny Curry has made a few plays.

 

[Texas Ace]

Floyd isn't getting much push in this game vs the Texans.

 

[boozeman]

Curry again.

 

[boozeman]

To compare Chip Kelly, I think the Old Ball Coach was up 31-0 in his first preseason game.

 

[Cotton]

Nice lumbering by Blount.

It's the 2 cent brain that you gotta worry about.

 

[Cotton]

The Eagles run defense is booty.

[Texas Ace]

Damn, is Felix Jones even gonna play tonight?

[Lotuseater]

Lordy playing the Eagles is gonna be fun. That defense is awful.

 

[Cotton]

Damn, is Felix Jones even gonna play tonight?

6 yards on one carry. Should have never released him.

 

[Texas Ace]

Felix enters the game.

 

[Texas Ace]

Lordy playing the Eagles is gonna be fun. That defense is awful.

Sanchez throws pick-six to Ansah on Jets’ first drive

Posted by Michael David Smith on August 9, 2013, 7:53 PM EDT


Lions first-round draft pick Ziggy Ansah got the preseason off to a fine start.

Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez? Not so much.

On the Jets’ first offensive drive of the preseason on Friday night in Detroit, Sanchez dropped back to pass and tried to dump off a screen, failing to see that Ansah was directly in the path of where Sanchez wanted to throw. The athletic Ansah picked off the ball and ran straight to the end zone for an easy 14-yard touchdown return.

If Sanchez wants to remain the Jets’ starter, he has to avoid mistakes like that. Geno Smith was already breathing down Sanchez’s neck, and these are the kinds of plays Sanchez can’t afford to make.

These are also the kinds of plays that the Lions were hoping Ansah would make when they chose him with the fifth overall pick in the NFL draft.

 

[GShock]

Enter Football Jesus.

 

[boozeman]

Shit. I forgot Tebow comes in after Mallett.

They will keep this shit on until the bitter end.
