NFL - NEWS & NOTES

You sure it’s not Timothy?

 

Foles goes down with a throwing shoulder injury. Didn't look good.

 

Mmmm that is interesting.

 

No it didn't. It showed Landry bitching about guys not practicing because according to him unless your hamstring is falling off your bone or your leg is broke you need to be practicing, not sitting out. He wasn't talking about effort. He was talking about how you can't get better sitting on the sideline and it just makes it harder on the guys who are actually practicing, placing them at risk for injury.

And the week before that Landry told a story about how Coleman was banged up and chose not to sit out but instead to fight through it and he ended up having a great practice. So he praised the guy for doing exactly what he was bitching about in the WR room and considering Coleman never missed a TC practice he couldn't have been talking to Corey. And while hard knocks made a point to show Coleman's lowlights (I mean cmon, you didn't see that coming after they traded him?) Coleman actually had a couple of really good practices that they didn't show.

I can't believe you watched the 1st episode 3x and got this wrong.

You quoted all my posts but apparently you didn't read them. I said as soon as they picked up the phone they set the ceiling at a 7th round pick. That was the mistake. They telegraphed their intentions and set themselves up for failure because the guy had a temper tantrum in the coaches office.

Horseshit. That's what coaches are for, to control these situations. Every team in the NFL has a problem guy or two and they do a helluva lot worse than what Coleman did. You don't just kick guys to the curb two weeks into camp because he had a blowup about a demotion. You COACH THEM. Give me a break. This is a team that has stuck by Josh Gordon through hell and back. And Coleman is effecting the room? Wait til Dez gets in there.

Dorsey and Hue shit the bed on this deal. Patience was the hand to play here. Coleman never approached anything that Martavis Bryant did over his 3 seasons in Pittsburgh and the Steelers brass told anyone that would listen they weren't trading him. That's how you get top dollar. Dorsey needs to spend a couple of months learning the game of poker.

 

Guess it comes down to if Coleman was a cancer to the team. Sounds like he was and getting another team to pay his first round salary was a plus. I consider this a win for the Browns.

 

1.5M 2018
2.0M 2019

For a team that paid 16M for a 2nd round pick.

 

Get to know James Washington. Two years in a row the rest of the NFL let the best WR in the draft fall to Pittsburgh in the 2nd round.

 

Who was that second round pick?

 

Chubb (and he takes in another 7.3M over 4).

 

Washington is stuck behind two good WRs in Brown and JuJu. You need to think long term with Washington , very long term in fact.

 

He’ll be worth ever penny.

 

The Steelers played with 3 WRs about 70% of the time last year. He's basically a starter.

 

That's really not the point. Anyone should be excited about the 35th pick in the draft. The point was that the 3.5M in salary Corey Coleman is due the next two seasons isn't a factor for a team that pays 16M just to buy a draft pick.

 

He’s basically a after thought on offensive. He’s already hit his ceiling.

 

Eagles announce strained shoulder for Nick Foles...

 

Per Adam Schefter...

Raiders DE Khalil Mack will not report to team before its second preseason game Saturday, per source, meaning he will be fined another $814,000, bringing his two missed preseason game total to $1.628 million. More important for both sides: there is no end in sight, per source.

 

I'm not going to quote everything above....

1) It's true the specific words stated in the meeting room blow up, what it eludes to is effort, which was my point. Are you really stating that a lazy "hurt" Corey Coleman is better than one that sits out practice because of stated "injury"? How many practice sessions have you watched? We gets reports EVERY DAY of each and every practice and nearly every one spoke of Coleman not giving maximum effort, which equals lazy. Your feed in Baltimore might be better than ours in Cleveland.

2) The coaching staff reserves their battles for those that actually seem like they might HELP the team at some point, which Coleman has never shown. You speak as if this is his first training camp and they discarded him after a few practices. We have been witness to this for 2 years prior. His heart is NOT into football.

3) I know you are butt hurt over the fact you keep being reminded how wrong you were about this kid, but you might want to get over it instead of continuing to stick up for a bust. He's already being called out in Buffalo and he's only been there for two weeks. They expected someone to come in a be hungry to prove everyone wrong and he hasn't even put in the expected time to learn the playbook. I know a NFL playbook isn't learned over night, but if a coach publicly calls you out, then that means you haven't expended any energy into working to learn it in the first place.


What is your obsession with Corey Coleman?

 

Nick Foles: Shoulder “feels pretty good”...

Eagles quarterback Nick Foles exited his team’s Week Two preseason game after taking a hit from Patriots defensive end Adrian Clayborn, one that prompted Foles to grab his arm faster than Rodney Dangerfield. So now the question becomes whether and to what extent Foles has an injury that could keep him from playing in two weeks and six days against the Falcons, if starter Carson Wentz isn’t ready to return from his torn ACL.

“I was getting ready to throw a deep ball and it got grabbed as I was following on through, so it sort of got a little strained,” Foles told reporters after the game. “So, you know, I was with the trainers, I’ll go in tomorrow and get treatment on it and sort of go from there. But it feels all right, feels pretty good. Hopefully there’s no issues.”

Foles said the injury is only in the shoulder.

“[J]ust sort of got jarred in a funny way as I was following through but you know it feels good and we’ll check it out tomorrow more thoroughly,” Foles said, adding that it’s “fair to say” he was in “some pain” after taking the hit.

“[W]hen you’re following on through on a deep ball and somebody grabs your arm when you’re going, it’s not the best feeling,” Foles said. “But I feel optimistic about it and I’m excited to get into treatment tomorrow and just get this thing moving forward.”

Foles tiptoed around whether he’ll have an MRI, and wouldn’t address whether he’ll be ready for Week One.

“I’m not even going to go there,” Foles said. “We’re just going to live in the moment and just sort of go day-to-day so I’m going to do everything I can to get back on the field and hopefully practice the first day we get back practicing, be ready to roll.”

His goal, indeed, is to play in the next preseason game.

“I mean, I’d be back on the playing field with the guys so that’s my goal, that’s what I feel like’s going to happen,” Foles said. “But once again, you sort of have to go through the proper channels and proper protocols with all this so I’ll find out more information tomorrow and then go from there.”

Much of what goes from there depends on how Foles feels when he rolls out of bed on Friday morning. He’ll know at that point whether there’s a problem that can or can’t be managed between now and September 6, when there’s a chance that the Eagles may have to trot out Nate Sudfeld on the night they celebrate the city’s first Lombardi Trophy.
