3rd and 15 giveup handoff.... FIRST DOWN!

 

[boozeman]

There's not much to work with right now to be fair.

I don't see a structure.

I prefer my OL to be a regimented unit, with very simple clear concepts to execute.

We are going zone, man, it just does not look smooth.

Yeah, I thought we looked pretty good when our backups were against their starters. Not too worried when a bunch of third teamers don't look like world beaters.

 

[Genghis Khan]

I mean we haven't played an offensive line starter all preseason. We can't really judge until real games what he is doing on the Oline.

One of many reasons I'd prefer the starters play a bit. It's really hard to evaluate when everyone is mismatched.

 

[boozeman]

Mazi Smith is still out there this late in the game.

I take that as an indicator that the coaches haven't been overly impressed with his preseason play as well.

I would play his ass every fucking down the rest of this game.

If he doesn't do shit, I know I have a turd.

I really, really, REALLY fucking hate the decision not to play starters.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

It's what announcers do. The Phillies announcer also does NFL radio broadcasts.

Kate Scott just started with the Seattle preseason games this year. I guess they needed somebody, she applied and got it.

Just goes to show how phony this stuff is though. You'd think she's a lifelong Seahawk lover the way she sounds.

Heck she's only been doing the sixers for a couple years, she's from California or something.

I could see different sports in the same town or state, but Philly to Seattle just seems weird.

But I can see Seattle going out of their way to look for a woman to do football.

Yeah, I also don't like all the cross training on the Oline. You're a center ok today you'll play guard. You're a guard, today you'll play center.

Give some of your young guys a chance to just get good at one thing.

 

[NoDak]

Why would they challenge this? He had the first down easily. So if they win the challenge, they save 5 yards but still give up the 3rd and long anyway? Dumb.

 

[Simpleton]

Damn.

You bailed quick.

He's still going to play a role but he needs to mature in terms of how he's reading the game first. He's just attacking the guy in front of him without being mindful of what's going on around him.

For that reason Bohanna might be more ready to play week 1, although as soon as the light goes on that'll change immediately.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

I really, really, REALLY fucking hate the decision not to play starters.

I do too. Our first game could be a shit show of rust. Hell our starting Oline has barely even practiced as a unit.

 

[boozeman]

I really, really, REALLY fucking hate the decision not to play starters.

It is a little arrogant by Fat Mike.

Almost like skipping a QB meeting because you had a massage lined up.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Mazi Smith is still out there this late in the game.

I see him playing next to a NT like he did last week. I almost wonder if they know he doesn't look that good at 1T so they're trying him at 3T.

He honestly looks about as bad as Charlton did at a similar stage.

Move him around, I don't think it will matter.

It is early, I am being my usual judgmental dick self, but it is not looking good at all.

 

[NoDak]

Calling it now. Leupke with the go ahead TD.



Not calling it the winning TD because unless he scores with under a minute left, I fully expect this collection of WTF's we have out there now to give up at least a FG.

 

[Genghis Khan]

I thought it was weird when the Sixers hired her from California. Their longtime radio guy went up for the job and is excellent but they gave it to the carpetbagger chick instead.

 

[boozeman]

Calling it now. Leupke with the go ahead TD.

Man, that would make this shit show worth watching.

 

[boozeman]

I don't think this is a Mike decision.

I would hope that it was out of his control.
