2015 NFL Off Season Thread

[Meacon Keaton]

Yeah, save that little tidbit for the CFL Season thread.

FYI UK people, Hard Knocks is on Sky Sports and not C4 this year, first episode is on tomorrow night.

I've not seen anything substantial but apparently the defense didn't look like it has embraced the switch to the 3-4.

Never. Houston for life baby!

Philip Rivers will retire a Charger, re-signed through 2019.  So much for all that "I am never moving to LA" talk.

[gunnar hendershow]

Get excited DMN!

Eagles playing some nice stuff against the Colts.  Well until Barkley got picked.

Sound the alarm for the Philly fans to start predicting Super Bowl.

Agholor looked great climbing the ladder for that ball, and he's got some crazy acceleration after the catch.  Excited about him.

[Maxx]

On the one hand, Chip Kelly's offense is fun and it would be cool if it succeeded and we saw more teams trying it.

On the other hand, fuck the Eagles forever, hope they go 0-16.  Is Bradford hurt yet?

Tebow time...

[Maxx]

I like you Lint, could you root for a better team?  Thaaaaaaanks.

[Lint]

Sorry, I wsa born and raised 45 minutes north of Philly. 

 

Tebow looks to be a bit better so far.  Seems like his throwing motion has improved a bit from his last time in the league and his passes look much less wobbly.  That being said, I'd still feel better if we had Barkley as our 3rd string then Tebow

[gunnar hendershow]

Keeping Tebow around does mean opposing teams have to at least do some preparation for the potential gadget play.

[Meacon Keaton]

His passes are less wobbly, but he's still only attempting very simple slant patterns. It's preseason. I'd like to see him air it out a bit and show if he somehow learned to hit the harder to place passes. I doubt he has, but pretty much any quarterback can hit slant patterns.

[Lint]

I am liking this Colts QB though

and thanks announcers for telling me why the 50 yard line was gold!

[DFF]

Tebow with a TD!

The starters didn't look great but it was only a couple of drives of the first pre-season game, plenty of time to work on things still.

Pernell McPhee was the biggest worry to me, he looked a little overweight and slow. Jared Allen was none-too-good in coverage either. McClellin and Jones looked good in the middle of the LB core though and Sam Acho looks like he's going to make a strong case for starting opposite McPhee.

Hey @Maxx, Jermey Parnell looked awesome the other day, should I expect him to continue to be a beast?
