    Re-watched the game

    Like Brock Huard says, it's never as bad as you think on gameday and never as good as you think. I came away with a pretty different impression in some aspects after watching a second time, and overall I feel a lot more optimistic about the state of the franchise than I did yesterday. Scheme...

    My first "No upset" fantasy draft

    I've been doing fantasy football since 2007, and regularly since 2012, usually in two leagues. So today's draft was the 9th fantasy draft I've done all time. In the previous drafts, I've averaged about 2-4 "upsets" per draft: times when the player I was targeting and really hoping for just...

    Sealver Siliga released from IR, receives injury settlement

    https://twitter.com/davidcanter/status/771856378814205952 Saw this posted randomly off-topic in a different thread, figured it could use it's own topic so people would see it. Not all a surprising move and absolutely the right one, this allows Seattle to potentially bring back Siliga in a...

    CJ Procise thoughts

    Seemed like his instincts were totally lacking in game four. He missed some reads and hesitated a lot. The lack of between the tackles instincts that jumped out like a sore thumb at Notre Dame were evident once again in the preseason finale. He seems like the kind of back that is going to...

    Exotic Smashmouth, is it for real?

    It's preseason, but consider: DeMarco Murray: 19 rushes, 159 yards, 2 TD. 8.37 yards per carry. Derrick Henry: 27 rushes, 154 yards, 2 TD. 5.70 yards per carry. Even if you took Murray's 71 yard run away, he'd still be averaging 4.89 yards per carry. Henry's longest carry has been for...

    Thoughts after rewatching Dallas preseason game - 2nd half

    Seattle opened the second half with the ball. They had most of their starting offense in the game, except with Webb replacing Sowell at LT. Webb wasn't tested much, but looked good when he played. The Dallas defense kicked off the 2nd half with only 2 starters remaining in the game, DE Jack...

    Thoughts after rewatching Dallas preseason game - 1st half

    Jordan Hill started the opening defensive series at 1 tech, and in the process looked like a guy that probably should never play 1 tech ever again. There was one play where he got his ass kicked so badly that he was 15 yards downfield on a 5 yard run by Elliot to the opposite side… and it...

    Initial thoughts on game 3

    Wow what a game. Normally I don't talk about the opponent much, but Dallas is an intriguing team and they had an intriguing game tonight to say the least. Starting with Tony Romo getting things started off with his "old Matt Hasselbeck" impression. It must have been weird being a Dallas...

    Drafting tip - know who your handcuffs are ahead of time

    I would recommend everybody do at least a few simulated drafts every year before the real thing. Not just because it helps you get a feel for where players are going, but because it helps you discover and prepare for scenarios where you need information quickly. Say for example you reach the...

    Recievers are flying off the board

    So, I've done two simulated mock drafts with 11 other participants on yahoo. The one theme that was constant in both drafts was that people were OBSESSED with drafting WRs, and not just early either. Even receivers with 8th round ADP were getting snatched up in round 6. It's like everyone is...

    Dion Lewis to miss two months

    Apparently he had his knee scoped out today, it will sideline him for two months. He was already on the preseason PUP which means he's now officially on the regular season PUP to start the year. He'll miss at least the first six weeks of the season. So yeah, you can pretty much forget about...

    More preseason thoughts - Jacksonville's offense looks great

    After watching Jacksonville's week 1 preseason game against the Jets, I came away very impressed with Blake Bortles development. Yeah it's preseason but he no longer looks like a greenhorn running his offense. Allen Robinson continues to be a stud. Allen Hurns continues to be better than...

    Preseason week 3, gonna be a battle...

    This upcoming preseason game is the most important preseason game because it serves as the season tune-up for the starters. What makes this matchup extra interesting is that Seattle's opponent just happens to be Dallas, the team that is running away with the preseason lead in scoring (65...

    Best bargain at each position

    Which player at each position do you consider to be the biggest ADP bargain at each spot? For the sake of clarity, I'm not talking about breakouts (e.g. Kenneth Dixon) or extreme bounceback guys (Josh Gordon), but players who have a bit of a history behind them and are a lock to see significant...

    OL observations and other thoughts

    I gave my initial thoughts in SCSis's thread. I rewatched the game just now focusing particularly on the OL and DL. Here are some of the things my eyes saw, maybe your eyes saw differently, but here goes my 2 cents: OL Bradley Sowell was once ranked as the worst tackle in the NFL by PFF...

    Troymaine Pope

    soFilymBrlo Apparently he is a 2016 UDFA out of Jacksonville State, a division I FCS school. He's listed at 5'8" 205. Thomas Rawls was a 2015 UDFA out of Central Michigan, a lower tier division I FBS school. He's listed at 5'9" 215. Interestingly enough, Pope was not one of Seattle's...

    Oakland's RB group

    I watched the Cardinals blowout preseason loss, and was a bit disappointed to see that Arizona actually looked like the better team in the 1st half on a per down basis. The final score of 31-10 Oakland is a classic example of why you should never take the team results of preseason seriously...

    Fun with draft simulations

    http://draftwizard.fantasypros.com/home.jsp (You will be asked to register after 5 mock drafts. Registration is quick, free, and painless. They don't even ask to confirm email.) This simulator has been pretty fun. It's not 100% realistic, but it is interesting in that I find myself drafting...

    49ers vs. Texans preseason week 1

    I've been recording as many preseason games as I can and have been trying to watch the first half of all of them. I wasn't going to report everything I noticed but I figured this was worth a topic. I was really impressed with the new look 49ers. They utterly dominated the first half against...

    Some random preseason thoughts, week 1

    Football is back! Yesterday I watched all of the Saints-Pats, all of the Broncos-Bears, and the first half of the Falcons-Redskins. Here are some random thoughts and observations. Broncos-Bears 1. The Broncos still have an amazing defense. Even their backup unit was abusing the Bears...
