NFL Discussion Thread - Hall of Fame Game: August 3rd

[S4L]

LOL. Rex Ryan is a clown...

"I'll say it to you sideways..."

 

[blackboyfly]

Rex Ryan is MAD

 

[651akathepaul]

Top 5 Receivers

1. Megatron
2. AJ Green
3. Dez
4. Fitz
5. Andre Johnson

Come at me bros

Agreed except at #5. Put Brandon Marshall there.

 

[champcruthik]

Brandon Marshall is top-5, undisputed. He's an even better version of Q. Strong, physical. A man's receiver.

His value to Chicago and Cutler is immeasurable. Trestman has the keys to a Ferrari.

 

[mr marcus]

I can't help Chicago offense is that plain....I just don't think he's top 5 right now heading into the 2013 season....

But ay getting targeted that much means you're the best aight...he's talented though

 

[Peep Game]

Ya'll give Andre too much credit. Julio > Dre.

Well...he did have right under 1600 yards last year, and 4 or the last 5 years in a run heavy offense. But for the future, yea, I'd take Julio being that he's almost 10 years younger than Andre

Rex Heeeeeee mad

 

[awwsome]

Very interested in what Trestman can bring to the Bears offensively and if he can be the QB whisperer for Cutler

 

[blackboyfly]

What were the Cardinals doing

 

[champcruthik]

Seeing a huge year for Michael Floyd with Palmer at Q.

 

[mrbkkt1]

I'm trying to figure out why the field looks like crap. Don't they roll it outside after their done?

 

[yvespo3]

That was one of the biggest scumbag move I've seen in a while . Rex said **** it with that move.

 

[ny mavurs]

Dez Bryant is not better than Julio Jones

 

[awwsome]

I need to see more from Dez this year but towards the end of last season he was in rare form broken finger and all

 

[Peep Game]

The Cardinals right now :x

 

[blackboyfly]

Dez Bryant is not better than Julio Jones

I'm a Cowboys fan so admittedly I'm biased, but why not? Dez put up 200 more yards and two more tds than Julio after taking the first half of the season off and playing four games with a broken finger. Romo to Dez was the second best QB to WR combo in the league last year (by QB rating).

Out of Julio, Dez and AJ, Julio is arguably in the best situation. But the other two bested him last year.

I'd rank them AJ-Dez-Julio-Thomas

 

[jpzx]

I think Dez is better than Julio Jones. But that's not even an insult. Both are two of the best young receivers in the game, and will be for a long time.

As for Andre Johnson, in 2012 4 touchdowns on 16 games, and in 2010 he had 8 touchdowns in 13 games (not factoring in his injury-plaged 2011 season). And on top of that, Arian Foster was stealing a ton of touchdowns in his far-and-away best season, 2010. Yet, Andre was STILL able to get 8 TDs even while missing three games.

It's a decline. He still could get his like you said, but he's not necessarily Top 3 anymore.

 

[mustbetheshoe58]

******** defense

But again it's only the preseason

 

[SneakerProSr.]

Calvin Johnson only had 5 touchdowns last year he's declining too.

 

[jpzx]

Who is this god damn announcer in the Cardinals/Chargers game?

"That is football"

"That is Philip Rivers"

"That is pass interference"

 

[jpzx]

Calvin Johnson only had 5 touchdowns last year he's declining too.

Your'e looking at things way too black and white, which is a nice change of pace from your normal blue and white.

The point was that two years ago in 3 less games he scored 4 more touchdowns.

I'm not simply referring to "hey look at his touchdown #s" as much as how he was more effective in less games, a big sign he's on the decline.

Touchdown production is flukey for skill position players in the NFL.

Andre Johnson could be declining but his TD production isn't the best evidence to show this.

Jonathan Cooper suffered a broken leg for the cards :x

Man I hate injuries, was really looking forward to watching him this year

 

[trueprada]

wrong cooper

That line is about to crumble.

Jonathan Cooper breaks leg, could be out for season
By Gregg Rosenthal

The Arizona Cardinals lost two key starters to injuries Saturday night, including the No. 7 overall pick in the draft.

Guard Jonathan Cooper was carted off the field against the San Diego Chargers with a left ankle injury. A player was blocked into Cooper's leg while he was running down the field trying to make a block. Cooper was unable to put any weight on the leg after the injury, and he had to be helped off the field.

Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said after the game that Cooper broke his leg on the play, per Kent Somers of the Arizona Republic, putting the rookie's season in jeopardy.

The highly athletic guard was enjoying a nice training camp and was expected to spearhead an improved Cardinals offensive line.

Earlier in the night, nose tackle Dan Williams left with an ankle injury. His return was listed as doubtful. Starting tight end Rob Housler also was knocked out with an ankle injury, and starting running back Rashard Mendenhall left with a knee injury, although his injury didn't look too serious.
