I'm witcha, but let's also note that it was AJ Green out there and Sanu ain't no punk either. Hayden was bad, but he had some plays with pretty good coverage. It was probably 65/35 - bad/good for him yesterday and that ain't what we need, but dude just needs to stay healthy and keep pushing. Trust me when I tell you that Kareem Jackson for the Texans was as bad or worse his 1st couple years, but eventually he snapped out of it and now is pretty good. One thing is certain, Hayden will never come out of it if he keeps missing big portions of these seasons.

Carrie was excellent tho..dude fits KNJ's scheme like a glove. We need somethin from La Mirada boy McGill because Thorpe looks like Tarzan/plays like Jane..send his ass back to KC. But yeah, I'm already thinkin about the next draft...there are 2 FSU DBs and 2 Ole Miss DBs that look like locks to go in the 1st round. We should scoop one of them because the corner position in this next free agency class is ugly, bro.

Need to find Woodson's replacement as well because this has got to be his last year. Seems like CWood is always in the right place, but it also looks like he almost dies everytime he has to make a tackle. One play yesterday it literally looked like a car had ran him over. Lol He wrapped up and got the tackle, but man it was painful to see. 18 years is a long time to be flyin around defensively. Still waitin to see how long Allen is out, left early yesterday with a knee injury.

 

well, I did.

 

So Nate Allen probably has a torn ACL. FML.

Carr looks to be fine and might play Sunday.

 

How much would you give up for Kam Chancellor? Looks like roughly half the league can fit him under the cap. I'm thinking a 2nd rounder probably gets you to the negotiating table. Would be hard for me to give up more than that and I think maybe it'd take 2 picks.

 

He's not that good.

 

Lakers Sign Robert Upshaw

EL SEGUNDO – The Los Angeles Lakers have signed center Robert Upshaw to a multi-year deal.

 

Adam "Pacman" Jones will likely be fined for slamming Amari Cooper's head into his helmet Sunday but not suspended, sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The incident will be reviewed by the NFL as part of its normal review process.

The Cincinnati Bengals' cornerback told ESPN that he wasn't expecting a punishment to come following his involvement in the controversial play featuring offsetting penalties.

Asked if he anticipated a fine or suspension, he simply replied: "No."

Although officials clearly missed it, cameras caught Jones on top of Cooper, the Oakland Raiders' top draft pick, slapping at the wide receiver's helmet hard enough that it came off. As soon as it did, Jones grabbed Cooper's head and slammed it once into the helmet while Cooper was on his back underneath the veteran corner.

"Whatever you saw happen, that's what happened," Jones said. "I'm just here to play football. I don't back down from anybody and I'm not out here trying to start anything. I'm just out here playing football."

Cooper said he thought if officials had seen the play occur, they would have enacted a harsher penalty, such as ejecting Jones. Overall, though, he said he wasn't bothered by the play.

"I mean, it's football," Cooper said. "It's a physical game, so you kind of expect it."



Cooper has the right attitude...

...still Pacman's taunting was over the top. sitting on his chest, ripping off his helmet and grabbing Coopers head and smashing it into the helmet is uncalled for.

like it might give football a bad name or something... LOL

 

In this secondary? He's a god.

 

I don't think they're gonna trade him at all but I'd give up a 2nd rounder for sure.

 

Philly phans were trashing him for how bad he was last season.

 

Woooooooooooooo

 

so Charles Woodson dislocated his shoulder.

 

Now new reports saying Nate Allen tore his MCL, not ACL, and is not out for the season, but out several weeks. So not as bad

 

FUCK

 

Raiders are fucked. No secondary.

3-12 just like that.

 

• Former Seahawks fullback Michael Robinson, who currently works as an NFL Media analyst, says Chancellor wants to be paid for more than just his work as a strong safety. Per Robinson, “[Chancellor] does a lot of (head coach) Pete Carroll‘s dirty work. He talks to players who need talking to because again, Pete doesn’t accentuate the negative.”Robinson also says that Chancellor lines up fellow safety Earl Thomas on every play, which Thomas himself confirmed (via Connor Orr of NFL.com).

 

I say pay the man. Seahawks are largely built on intimidation and Chancellor is a pretty big part of that.

 

If they're gonna play Ray Ray at all, he should probably go back to safety. Move TMays to OLB and start Heeney or Ball
