Double Header with Texans @ Patriots and Vikings @ Seahawks.

Mac Jones hasn't been good enough to be sitting the first preseason game.

 

[boozeman]

Uh oh, C.J. Stroud gets picked.

 

[boozeman]

I dunno, Bailey Zappe has moxie sometimes.

 

[boozeman]

Nick Folk with the FG.

Our next kicker, y'all.

He's coming home.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Second throw of Stoud's pro career is right to the DB.

Why is Zappe starting, did they say?

 

[1bigfan13]

I'm always interested in the seeing how rookie QBs like Stroud react to being on the other side of the talent scale for a change.

He lived the privileged life at Ohio State where pretty much 95% of the time he took the field he was playing with the more talented team. Now that he's in the NFL, he's on the Northwestern of the league.

I either time stamped you like a motherfucker or you have a very slow stream.

Your internet stream.

The OL's doing him no favors but he's still being too careless with the ball.

There were a couple of other panic throws that were close to being turnovers.

Yeah that INT happened 10 minutes ago.

I am behind, but I was mostly saying that the INT wasn't even a good play by the DB. Stroud didn't see the guy at all even though he was right there. Even for the rawest rookie, that isn't good.

It is weird that the Texans are running a lot of two back sets here.

They pretty much have Andrew Beck there and that dude can't play. I guess they are trying to decide that.

My thing is I don't waste valuable reps with Stround in some weird two back sets that won't exist soon.

 

[1bigfan13]

Okay that was a helluva catch. Nice placement by Zappe too.

The Texans' depth at the OL is pretty damn poor.

I would have had him run a series with the starters and boom.

But Ryans is a defensive minded guy.

 

[boozeman]

Schultz sighting.

 

[boozeman]

Keion White is looking awesome.

That may be their base offense. During the pre-kickoff stuff they were talking about how Demeco Ryans brought the 49ers offensive scheme to Houston with him.

I believe the Niners use a lot of 2 back stuff with McCaffery and Juszczyk.

 

[boozeman]

I am eager to see what this Demario Douglas cat is all about.

I have an annoying associate at work who has been talking mad shit about him in the break room recently.

Then they are doing it wrong with the personnel that is on this roster.

If a guy like Beck is the only FB and they are wasting these reps.

Bobby Slowik is the OC.

Thus far, he is getting schooled by Belichick. Or if you believe it, his kid.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Stroud, he's no Davis Mills. @Sheik
