In so many ways Jean is eerily reminiscent of AJ in his first few years. I'm not saying that he is in any way AJ's equal but so often when I see Jean on the field it takes me a moment to realize that it's not AJ.

LJ is making some exceptional catches every game so far. Gotta like his development for sure.

We are making manning look terrible. We are just camping on routes with no respect for his ability to stretch the field.

Having a real fullback might be helpful.

WMH · #15 09-23-2012, 06:14 PM

Right side, Caldwell and Newton this time, got blowed up.
Tate now in doghouse.

BTW- Wexler tweeted earlier that Harris was getting snaps at RT. I must've missed that.

chuck · #16 09-23-2012, 06:04 PM

I absolutely do not understand the modern aversion to punting the ball out of bounds at the 10 or so. Why do you have to try for the improbable downing on the one when you could reliably put the ball out of bounds within the 20? Special teams coaches must be very bad at math.

That's a good observation, Chuck. The "coffin corner" seems to have gone the way of the drop kick. I know I always found it frustrating to watch the side official walk up the sideline with that stupid arm outraised an extra 10 yards than where I felt the ball went out of bounds so maybe enough coaches felt like me and switched to the current strategy.
