C. West is a beast, even with the 2's.
He might have a huge year... |

I think Foles gets a TD with the 1's in that situation, once his timing is right

Re-confirming what I saw when I first watched: all of the Seahawk QB snaps from the first team were 3 step drops with quick passes. Same as the Pats game 7 months ago.
Can't get any gauge on the pass rush when the ball goes out quickly. That's something that the backups didn't have to deal with. But my god did Dee Ford look awful in run support today. It's like he's learned nothing.

Foles looks like a starter when he's observing from the sideline - Just towers over Murray once Bray is in. Looks very athletic, loving that pick up.

Nicolas would likely have been a 2nd to 3rd round prospect before the Hokies stupidly asked him to play inside their hybrid front. Nicolas has impressive pass rush skills and improved other aspects of his game while at Vtech. Many great reviews about his intangibles/work ethic and willingness to get better have circulated for some time. I loved the Nicolas pick because Dorsey got huge athletic potential and a solid character kid arguably 2-3 rounds later than where he should have been scooped up. Ford on the other hand was over-drafted IMO and it appears that he is struggling with the pro game. What may have come easy in college is devoid in his pro performances to date. Is it work ethic? Slow processing? It may be all these things, but he is definitely trending down. |

Dee Ford shouldn't be playing SOLB. Plain and simple. He'd be just fine if Houston were there and he was at WOLB.

That said, his progress has been disappointing. He still has time to turn it around but that likelihood seems to be shrinking. |

Nicolas is small...I happened to be in KC and checked out a practice. He was standing next to Peters and they were roughly the same size...he's like 230.

Jerry Hughes, Whitney Mercilus, and Melvin Ingram all looked liked busts too going into year 3. They each didn't break out till year 4, even with more experience than Ford early on. It sucks to see him continuing to struggle, but I'm not going to overreact yet either. I'm also not going to wait till after year 4 till I say we need to start looking for his replacement though.

Oh I know, but I also remember some red flags around him and scouting reports suggesting that although he was a tremendous athlete that he was not very football savvy and one dimensional. The draft is a crapshoot but I remember opinions ranging on Ford being as high as a top 12-15 pick to the bottom of the second round.

The offense looked crisp out of the gate...and the O-line looked good. Seattle has a great defense. Smith will be a different QB without defenders in his face...as will Charles. I've never seen JC run behind a good O-line...so kinda excited about it. Last edited by BlackOp; 08-14-2016 at 12:16 AM.. |
