When I saw the replay, the safety had an angle and was closing. So Ben may have put the ball where it could be completed (and not get DJ killed), but it would be pretty amazing if he saw that safety, made the calculation and adjusted his target.LakecrestSteeler wrote: ↑Sun Aug 22, 2021 1:00 amIf Ben leads DJ on the big gainer in the 1st half would it have been picked or knocked away?
Almost looked like he put it in the only spot to be caught.
But it also had a little of that feel that he could have lead DJ a bit more?

How many here think we have seen the last of Benny Snell?

Woooo
Howard Griffith had to resort to chop-blocking him during the 1997 AFC Championship Game. An incredulous Kirkland asked Griffith, “Why do you have to use cheap tactics like chop-blocking?” Griffith replied “Why do you have to be a 300-pound linebacker?”
Remember the days of being on the edge of your seat on every punt return when Brown was doing it? Would be nice to have someone that was an actual threat again.

Snell is a guy that would probably be safe on PS.

Mason has been efficient.
Just GOTTA put one in the end zone.

I seriously doubt Sexton is taking that job from McCloud, even if he should.

Ebron is good and will have a place in this offense. He’s dropped balls his whole career but the dude can get open.
Looks like we finally have some damn good TEs

Ok. I'm good with ballage.
Arguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are, the pigeon is going to shit on the board and strut around like it won anyway.
Should JuJu still be in this game?

Probably not. But he wants snaps.

McFarland tries hard, but he simply isn't as fast as he should be or needs to be.

I was wrong about Ballage. Dude looks legit.

Well at least he's getting some FGs. That's an improvement anyway.

LOL. I really would get rid of him. I realize receivers drop passes, but not your TE.
Generally your TE has such great hands that you are ok with the loss of speed and quickness…and you get the blocking too.
A TE with dropsies is just unacceptable and it is contagious! It is like Shaq missing dunks.
Not much depth…we probably keep him.

Despite the effluent Pompeani insistently repeating this as fact, not a drop. The defender had his arm between Ebron’s arms/hands and broke it up. Ebron could have/should have attacked that ball a bit more aggressively though.
