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

[freddie black]

Sherman is not faster than Bay Bay.

Football Outsiders just did a piece on Thomas where they said he's struggled against physical cornerbacks all season.

I'm more worried about the small, fast guys. Beating guys like Thomas is a strength of our defense. For what it's worth, Welker played well against us in preseason.

You tards still talk like Seahawk corners shadow certain receivers. Sherman will stay on one side of the field and shut down whoever lines up across him

There will be a lot of Welker targers by Manning, no doubt. J. Thomas should make a decent impact in between the hashes, but Earl will be lurking.

 

[100027]

Vernon soft he scares easy

 

[awwsome]

Kam might kill Welker

Wes helmet going to be astronaut size in preparation, he going to look like Clooney in Gravity

 

[651akathepaul]

I wonder when the deadline is for announcing if the official gametime/day remains as is or if they change it.

Anyone heard anything about that?

 

[elpablo21]

Wes knows whats up

 

[statis22]

Have y'all seen Kam Chancellor this postseason? I say expect little if anything from Julius Thomas.

 

[renegade34474]

damn that hit is filthy :x

 

[100027]

Legal too.

Browner

Sherman's a physical corner?

Yes, put your biases aside

D. Thomas isn't all that great against physical corners, the game @ New England Talib had dude on lock for the most part, especially when the game settled down and Denver's D wasn't playing out of their mind getting all those sack-fumbles.

Julian Thomas X Welker are going to have to be the difference, we all know Seattle's only weakness which has yet to even be proven as a sure-fire weakness, is their defense against smaller receivers... insert Welker. As for Julian, he's not frail like Vernon Davis and he actually has a QB who's a real threat to throw on every single down even in the slightest of windows.

This is the article:  http://www.footballoutsiders.com/film-room/2014/film-room-demaryius-thomas

"A huge amount of Thomas' production during the regular season came on screen passes and underneath routes against soft coverage. Rarely did Thomas produce anything when defensive backs jammed him at the line of scrimmage and played aggressive man coverage through his route."

It's an interesting read.

that hit :x :x

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Yall ain't heard? little Wes Welker is a goon now according to Belichick.

 

[awwsome]

Welker takes out Sherm like he did Talib

Still can't see Denver winning this even though my bias wants Peyton to win another.

[you go boy]

for all you NFL fans what is the big deal about the superbowl being in a cold weather city? i mean football is the only sport where they play in any weather so i really dont get why the superbowl should be any different... i mean the players/teams should already be used to be playing in any weather condition... but then again i am hyped that the superbowl is in my state this yr
