It just seems with all the restriction on prcatice times and what you can do in practice like that any form of practice is such a premium. And if so, this seems very unfair to me.
I heard the Giants have a large screen in their practice area and are lining up their D based on what the Cowboys do working on their calls. It's even.
injured. For a team like the Giants that aren't making a ton of changes the reward is smaller than the risk. For a team like Dallas which is making a lot of changes it isn't the worst thing in the world to get one more game
It helps because I swear, in my 50 years of following football it always seems like the deck is in some way or another stacked to give the Cowboys an advantage. Maybe it's from being a lifetime Giants fan. LOL! But I also hate that the Cowboys get a bye week before they play the Giants the 2nd time this year.
Miller's not really a sleeper considering his level of talent, but I do think he'll be a breakout player this season. There had been nothing but glowingly positive buzz about him coming from Dolphins beat writers over the past several months, including Omar Kelly saying that they felt Miller was a younger, faster, better version of Bush, which is why they let him walk without even trying to bring him back.
The fumble on the opening carry obviously wasn't a good look, but it won't matter at all in the grand scheme of things.
That's fair. I stashed him on my bench in my auction keeper league last year despite having a shallow bench just so that I could keep him this season. I've been a big believer in Miller ever since he was a freshman at Miami, so I'm expecting big things.
Wallace ended up signing for more money than most people expected him to get on the open market, but the Dolphins were desperate for a difference maker on the outside who can threaten a defense vertically. Hartline is much more suited for the No. 2 receiver role, so they should be fine as the starters. They'll still need some complimentary weapons to step up in multiple receiver sets, but the addition of Wallace should provide immediate dividends.
I felt there were four first-round talents at RB in that draft, including all three players you mentioned. Miller plummeted because of his shoulder injury, but he hasn't experienced any reported setbacks after receiving very little playing time a year ago.
But their receiving corp was laughably bad. He should be able to take the top off the defense and open things up for Hartline. I forgot that Bess left though.
Yes it was. I'm curious to see how Keller will fit into their offense as well, but they'll definitely need to find a No. 3 receiver to replace Bess' production.
Yeah, I remember you and I both liked Miller a lot last year going into the draft. I am in agreement with you on him going into this season as well. I think he's a legitimate breakout candidate with Bush having moved on and Thomas not really having impressed a ton in either of his first 2 seasons.
His time was limited last time but Miller did average just a shade under 5 ypc. I think the growth of Tannehill and the addition of Wallace to stretch the field should really help open up the run a little more.
Second-round TE Gavin Escobar reportedly hasn't made any standout plays in training camp and is struggling with his blocking.
ESPN Dallas lists him in the "stock down" category after two weeks of camp. Escobar couldn't block a lick at San Diego State, so reading that he's struggling there comes as no surprise. But he has strong hands and was a dynamic slot receiver in college. With James Hanna nursing a hamstring injury for the past week, Escobar had a chance to emerge as the No. 2 tight end. He's done nothing to help his stock. Escobar may turn out to be this year's Michael Egnew.
Who do you think you are?
This is a crock!
I am ready for some football!!!
Lance Dunbar looking decent
I really hate the cowboys and I live in Dallas.
