They go for it on 4th down so often he wouldn’t get enough repetitions. I was going to post during the game the eagles punter is overpaid per kick but I’d be kicking him when he was down to post that now.
Dunno why he’d wanna go there. That team isn’t very good. Then again it’s Vegas baby !!!
What a town.
For sure......but hang on, I'm reading Goofo might be considered as he's also on Tampon Bay's radar. What!!??
Watch the video, at 3.34 they show the front on. When I watched it live I thought he was trying to kick a drop punt but that front on vision shows he just *smile* up the ball drop. he is holding it like he is kicking a traditional punt/torp but when he drops it the ball turns so he actually hits the wriong side of the ball. And its accentuated by the swing of his leg trying to direct the ball slightly to his left. So the ball goes to the wrong side pof the field and short because he hits it so poorly.
I wonder if he had second thoughts about the style of kick, he was in between a drop punt and torp in his head?
Its a good anlysis by McAfee. It's a costly mistake by Sippos.
It was a costly mistake, but the first tackle attempts (if you can call them that) were woeful
I enjoyed the analysis because all we ever usually focus on is the offence and defence. Very rarely special teams.
One big play from the ST unit can change the course of a match, and this was a big moment at a crucial stage.
I think he was just caretaker, but not surprised they didn't keep him.
They're not allowed to do full-on tackling during training camp, so when they rock up to the season the smaller guys - cornerbacks, safeties, full backs, guys on special teams - get exposed for the charlatans they are and get bounced around by players running full tilt at them.
That's why the numbers of WR's and TE's have increased so much in today's game.
Randy Moss and JERRY RICE (U know it's true now!!
) would have 2,000+ yards catching and 17-25 TD's a year in this era "As 32 N.F.L. teams opened their camps, the new practice model virtually prohibits tackling and tolerates only nominal full-scale contact between the players, often no more than five minutes a week.
At N.F.L. training camps across the nation this week, it’s as if a bunch of touch football games have broken out.
At parts of every training camp practice — sessions now conducted only once a day, as mandated by a new labor agreement — there is contact between players. Linemen knock shoulders, although not often at full speed. Wide receivers and defensive backs jostle during pass routes, and running backs sprint through narrow gaps between linemen. But almost every time a ball carrier is encountered by a defensive player, that defender will feint a tackle, then merely tap or tag the offensive player.
Infrequently, there is a shoulder lowered to deliver a glancing blow, but in the new N.F.L., except in sporadic cases, defenders in training camp do not use their arms to wrap up a ball carrier and drag or thrust him to the ground.
“There is just too much threat of injury to bring a guy down during practice,” said Chase Blackburn, Carolina’s middle linebacker.
Looking at this guys experience, Chargers mostly 7-8 years two stints, one year at Cleveland, just the 12 months at Philly.
AND he gets a head Coaching Job!!
So like U I'm shocked, shocked that I can't see one hot offence he's coached or good team he's been with until the last 12 months!!
SMH man, SMH, just crap!!!!!
Found the pic man. It was called after the snap but before the throw, but lots think the holding/blocking/impeding was down the field.
That would have been pass interference if they called that, that's why I didn't understand that loser Greg Olsen's call on it,
I thought he's a TE, surely he knows the diff between a pass interference and a holding call? I guess not!!
A Holding call is from the snap until the quarterback throws the ball, then anything illegal on a WR that happens after the QB throws is pass interference,
the ball goes to the spot where the offence occurred and a first down. That didn't happen in this instance.
They called this as holding, a 5 yard penalty, first down.

Ahhhh ok then, first time I have seen this.
Clearly a hold, they will call it every time they see a jumper stretched like that.
Am yet to go back and watch the replay, did they highlight this on the coverage ? I don't remember seeing it at all.
