O I'm sorry

..

The drop off from your starting RB to your mid second-round pick who is 5-foot-9 is slight?

The running game was going to be bottom-third in the league when healthy, can't imagine what it could develop into if these training-camp injuries become a season-long/lingering issue. **** is Kevin Jones doin, beg him out of retirement like the Bills did with Orton.
 
Mike McCarthy adjusting to not having play-calling duties


By Darrin Gantt, PFT

Packers coach Mike McCarthy may need to find a whistle to twirl, or learn card tricks.

Because even though he joked that he was “bored stiff” in his first game not calling offensive plays, the result was good enough in their preseason opener that he was encouraged by the progress of the new process.

“It looked like I didn’t know what to do with my hands?” McCarthy said, via Jason Wilde of ESPNWisconsin.com. “That’s funny. I’ll work on it. I’ll go look at the tape.”

Jared Allen: Starting defense got “slice of humility” against Dolphins


Posted by Josh Alper on August 14, 2015, 11:05 AM EDT

The Bears defense was a wreck last season and the team hired Vic Fangio as their new defensive coordinator in hopes of improving their results this season, but the first outing of the preseason looked like more of the same.

Ryan Tannehill completed 6-of-7 passes while driving the Dolphins 85 yards on 14 plays to open the day before ending his night with a short touchdown pass to Jarvis Landry. The defense looked different with Fangio using a variety of looks that haven’t been seen in Chicago in the recent past, but the execution didn’t look much better for a unit that linebacker Jared Allen thought was looking pretty good in recent practices.

“It’s a good little slice of humility,” Allen said, via the Chicago Sun-Times. “And lets you know where you’re at, and things you can work on.”

Coach John Fox agreed that the team was not a “well-oiled machine” on Thursday, but didn’t go too far beyond that in criticism of the team’s first preseason outing. Given recent history, it will be harder to shrug off similar performances in the next couple of games.

So for clarity's sake.

You believe that Joique Bell is a better running back than Ameer Abdullah?
 
Since this is the 2015 trash talk thread for this specific year: for sure

I watched a lot of Big Ten football the past few years. Tevin Coleman's a better rusher IMO, wasn't ever all that impressed by Abdullah other than those times he had those huge outlier performances.

Outside of the 45-yard run, Abdullah toted a 3.6 yard per carry average last night.

Bruh he carried the rock 7 times
 
Yeah, six carries for 22 yards is 3.6 yards per carry.

Remove runs of 40 yards or more from any running backs yardage and you are going to see a decline

It's hilarious you are trying to make this point while saying Tevin Coleman was a better back.

His big run, singular, and SneakerPro of course we're going to see a decline. But I see 3.6.

That's not good, it means aside from the one play where everybody broke down and he got loose, he wasn't successful. And who even cares, it's only one game in the preseason but that's what I have to evaluate right now. Fluid opinions as the games roll in, should be that way for everybody.

I get this is the trash talk thread and what not but your criticisms of the Lions are lightweight absurd.

If you said Matt Stafford isn't good or the offensive line is unproven and wasn't good last year you would have a solid case.

But using Nick Fairley who only played 7.5 games last year and statistically the defense didn't fall off one bit in his absence and Ameer Abdullah yards per carry just doesn't make sense.

You better than this man.

JPZ is really concerned about YPC. It's the only way to measure a back apparently :lol: :smh:


Carry on, love reading this thread

Bettis is one of the weakest HOF'ers in recent memory and that has more to it than only career avg YPC - but that is definitely where a person would start when making their case.

Abdullah won't be on the field on third downs and the Lions will be playing from behind a lot from an overall standpoint, so it's fair to think he will not be getting the workload you'd hope for in most 1st/2nd Down situations in which he'd be on the field.

Bears general manager Ryan Pace announced on Saturday that White will undergo surgery on his shin. He'll miss at least the first six games of the season, and Pace said it's possible White might miss the entire year. White suffered a stress fracture to his shin in OTAs. Pace said he had a setback last week. If White misses exactly six regular-season games, he would return after the Bears' Week 7 bye for a game against the Minnesota Vikings on Nov. 1.

Pace mentioning that when he wouldn't need to at all huh

Yeah, he's out for the year.
