Pre-season 8/25/2013, Game 3 vs Saints + Top 5 things you are interested in seeing?

[playa465]

You want to talk about a direct helmet to helmet with the RB putting his head down........Karim just did it and luckily wasn't called for it.

No penalty, I think the rules applies when the RB lowers his head to meet the defender when outside the tackle box or more than three yards down field

 

[Goodwrench3]

Too many missed tackles....

Has any player been flagged for leading with crown of the helmet when running? I thought kareems run would be a flag

It wasn't even subtle.

 

[EVOLVIST]

Now we have Opie Friggin' Taylor in at QB for the Saints.

He'll throw it to any Gomer her wants to and shred us up.

 

[Rey]

Cierre runs like Arian.

 

[Rey]

Man give me lemon over Martin.

 

[Pantherstang84]

Sign that Lemon guy.

 

[Uncle Rico]

Lemon looks like a player to me.

 

[ChrisG]

I think u have to be outside the tackle box.

 

[EllisUnit]

And it was the same for Yates and would be for any other qb. Your best receiver by far is going to be who you trust the most, get the most targets and likely catches too.

Yes i know that AJ will and should always be his first option. My point is he "should" reads. A progression he goes through. BUT often times it appears he dont even see what is going on with everyone else, or to even see if the other WRs are wide open.

Sorry but that is a problem he needs to work on.

 

[mariowillshine15]

If Johnson keeps the dancing to a minimum i really like his burst.

 

[SCOTTexans]

Right... forgot about that detail

 

[Uncle Rico]

Clutts needs to set the edge much faster than that, he gets to his guy that play is in celebratory stage.

 

[dc_txtech]

I thought you were allowed to lower your head in between the tackles or something along those lines.

 

[OzzO]

Ok, I've heard "thrown just a little behind" too many times today...

Intererstingly, haven't heard this since a certain QB stepped out of the game.

 

[kiwitexansfan]

Johnson shows the most potential of our RBs. I think I like him more than Tate even.

How many targets did OD get in the first half? And AJ?

 

[EllisUnit]

How many targets did OD get in the first half? And AJ?

So we only have 2 guys running routes ?

I think your missing my point.

 

[gafftop]

Agree. So far he has left dancing shoes at home.

 

[mariowillshine15]

Martin i mean Lemon drops a TD

 

[Pantherstang84]

Sign that Lemon guy.

Nevermind

 

[Rey]

Welp. Who else we got.

 

[playa465]

WOW, that drop!!

 

[Uncle Rico]

Aaaaaand I take back everything I've said about Lemon.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

No penalty, I think the rules applies when the RB lowers his head to meet the defender when outside the tackle box or more than three yards down field

I think you are correct, but can't understand for sure the bolded.

A 15-yard penalty, and the offending player will also be subject to a possible fine. If an offensive player and a defensive player both lower their heads, the resulting penalties will offset. The rule will only be in effect when both players clearly are outside the tackle box (an area extending from tackle-to-tackle and from 3 yards beyond the line of scrimmage to the offensive team's end line).

 

[Rey]

Good make up

 

[OzzO]

Good for Lemon, and for Yates to go back to him.

 

[Pantherstang84]

Aaaaaand I take back everything I've said about Lemon.

me too

 

[Texn4life]

You guys crack me up! "I love him........ No I hate him....... Wait, I love him again!"

 

[Rey]

Wow...so you can still score a TD after a dropped pass in the EZ.

Amazing stuff.

 

[SCOTTexans]

Aaaaaand I take back everything I've said about Lemon.

Lol you should stop calling Lemon out... Seems like he will do the opposite

 

[Pantherstang84]

You guys crack me up! "I love him........ No I hate him....... Wait, I love him again!"

Make sure you check back with us every 30 seconds for the latest. lol

 

[Uncle Rico]

Snap! that commentator just "cool story bro'd" Brian Billick!

 

[2012Champs]

I'm not missing your point. I think you and some others are overblowing the AJ targets and acting as though Matt wouldn't throw it to anyone else.


If OD caught his targets he could have posted 100+ yards too or rather AJ would have had less of a chance to post the same.

I also note you failed to answer the question which would have shown not only did Matt target others but AJ wasnt his most popular choice.

 

[htownfan32]

I think Yates looks good today, more focused and more on-point. It looks night and day from the first pre-season game and right now.

 

[Uncle Rico]

Lol you should stop calling Lemon out... Seems like he will do the opposite

Im just here to help! (He should have caught the 1st one)

 

[SAMURAITEXAN]

Like I've been saying. I want to see reliable #3 WR candidate to shows up. There were so many drops by WRs except for AJ of course.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

I'm looking for the nose-picker.

 

[Rey]

Has sharpton played today?

 

[Showtime100]

The Pro Bowl? He was the MVP of that one year lol.

Lol!!!!!! Yeah right. We're in preseason and I'm thinking about a game even more meaningless than the game I'm watching.

I'm talking about Houston's goal of the Super Bowl and thought simply "Bowl" was clear enough. Geezus.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Has sharpton played today?

NO!

Dude O.D is a reliable target also, i was simply stating A LOT of times Schaub had wide open guys that he failed to see. Take the play where he threw the ball into double coverage that almost got picked on the check down. Its the only place he looked. There were 2 wide open guys on that play.

It was a joke lol. I knew what you were talking about.

She has a schnoz

I'm not sure you are aware of the but watching things on tv is certainly a little different than playing. I'm sure you always see all the open receivers that QBs don't. Just because you see something on tv doesn't mean it's a valid option

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

She has a schnoz

It has been "done."

 

[Pantherstang84]

She has a schnoz

It needs to be next to go along with the rest of the work she had done.

 

[Pantherstang84]

It has been "done."

needs improvement.

 

[htownfan32]

Man, JJ is an angel in disguise

Same goes for the person on the other side saying it aint so.
