^^ haha priceless, thats the guy that was talkin about how much he was lookin forward to covering Julio... then Julio proceeded to catch 3 passes including a TD on his only drive of the game with Smith covering him all 3 times lmao

 

[bamaraider]

Oh no, we should show his highlights at all time... lol The man... the myth... the Julio...

Can't imagine how Browns' fans feel. They had him right there and traded him. Amazing.

 

[JoshB]

If the Browns had both Julio and Richardson I would have to stab the nearest Browns fan...

 

[JoshB]

Tampa is gonna use Barron in more the way Alabama used him, all over the field, this year.

Lacy looked good in his NFL debut and broke out the spin move a few times.

The spins were much more compact, very well done.

This highlights the difference between Lacy and Trent's professional destinations. Imagine if Trent was getting that much momentum before he had to start taking and delivering shots? That makes me detest the Browns that much more.

^^Yea Trent doesn't have much help. Watched a little bit of their game the other night...didn't look like he was getting much help from his OL.

In his second pre-season game with the Titans, Warmack continued to look like he's making an easy transition to the pro's.

 

[Lance]

seems like i had read where he said he was not going to do the spin move anymore

In kind of a side note - I was watching the first episode of HardKnocks on HBO last night. It shows Tyler Eifert walking up to Andre Smith to introduce himself. I think Andre's response went something like "yea, I know who you are...Roll Tide".

 

[JoshB]

^^ lol yeah that was awesome. that havent really featured Dre Kirkpatrick at all on that show tho. According to Marvin Lewis hes having a great camp.

I certainly wouldn't take shit talking from Andre, considering his career to date, he would have gotten a man-boob comment from me pretty quickly.

Not a fair comment about Smitty, now at least. He's earned his keep, he's been by far the best on their line last cpl years. Even earned himself a fat contract extension.

 

[planomateo]

Maybe, last year was an extension year.

 

[bamaraider]

Well Ingram had an okay game versus the Raiders. Went untouched and bounced to the outside for a TD. Saints blocking is a joke. Roman Harper was 1 of 3 men that rushed after the QB and got a sack.

I really didn't focus too much on them, but I can this though---With the first overall pick, the Oakland Raiders select *insert player*

He was really good the year before too, he's turned that corner imo.

I hate the Saints so bad but im pulling for Ingram this year. It was so frustrated watching him last year tho, there were MULTIPLE times I saw him break off 15, 20 yard runs and then they'd yank him and put in another back. Or he'd run it down to the goal line and they'd either do a bootleg or put in another back, just insane.

He's been having a good camp, but sadly, I don't see it ending either. I think after this year, he may be traded or IDK if his contract will be up, if so, he may get cut. I hate that he landed at a place that barely uses him. I know they're a passing team, but his physical ability is a perfect compliment to Drew Brees, yet it seems like all they do is a simple gut play with him and take him out.

Troy Aikman has spoken about this countless of times that the Saints need to use him more because he is so talented. What I hate most though is their fans literally hate him because he's from UA. I think it would be better if he went elsewhere to a place that needed a RB next year or a back up running back that could split carries.

Atlanta would be a perfect fit for him, they like the bruising backs, and Steven Jackson is getting too old. Ingram still has lots of life in him because they barely use him, so even though he's been in the league for a while, he isn't as beat up as most backs with his number of years

Atlanta would be good, but they have Rogers under him and is really impressive to me. I'd like to see him in maybe Indianapolis or Houston where they really commit to the run. Plus Houston runs the ZBS, a much more familiar offense to Mark.

 

[JoshB]

I would be too crazy if ATL was able to get Ingram. Ingram + Julio, oh lawd but NO would never allow that as far as a trade goes. Could you imagine Ingram in that Steelers offense? Yikes.
