This may be the single most important post in the history of the CD newsletter. A major step in resolving 2 posters indifference. A mending, a new start, it could be a beautiful relationship. I see great things coming. Even ClubDirt returns as he feels the stability of the CD Newsletter crew re established. Let's make this place great again.

I accept bigreds offer to visit him reallyhappy

I sense great things popping up when bigred, his wife, and myself convene on the fabled, well traveled couch peace_5

Pump the brakes, my premature friend.

I believe he very well might be a top 5 QB very soon, but he does not have the numbers to say he is there already peace_5

@Hugh_Jorgan

I guess I'm not used to seeing a guy go through his reads so fast. His "hitch" when changing reads is flawless, and quick.

He did have one bad read today, didn't see the safety in a cover 3.

The Texans OC is primo.

Is he getting a head coaching gig next year?

Great observation. Viva la difference between Stroud and Fields.

Stroud sees the entire field so well.

Very very impressive peace_5

Wouldn't his best move to be stay atleast one more year and really hone in on CJ to Tank all year long? His stock should continue to rise...this Houston Offense has endless potential

@Hugh_Jorgan

Fields needs a qb coach to fix his footwork. The feet while reading the defense have to be married. Especially when you hitch to the next read.

Watching the game at Tom’s Watch Bar at NYNY. Browns score and the crowd goes wild. Texans score and I go wild. I feel outnumbered

The 1st quarter has shown my biggest concern for my bet on the Texans ...

They are last in the NFL at covering the TE

Good point. I think the Panthers want him, but no one wants to work for Tepper

I agree, Fields mechanics are terrible, and somewhat correctable.

However even with perfect mechanics he still has no ability to anticipate, nor see the field.

Great post Getty. I have been in Vegas wearing the same shoes as you. It's a great feeling.

I remember one March madness in particular. My buddies and I were the only ones yelling and high fiving. Everyone around us looked ready to kill us.

Looks like Stefanski and Slowik are making this game of "who can score more?"

I'm feeling that a drive or 2 by one of these offenses will have to be of the clock killing variety to establish some traction.

Great game so far

31 points and still 12 mins left in the 1st half.

I'm guessing that Cyrax has a boner right now peace_5

Did the Browns defense stayed behind in Cleveland?

Speaking of TE's, I think Dallas Goedert becomes an integral part of the Philly offense with AJ Brown out. Of course, Hurts might not even target him which wouldn't surprise me since they sometimes don't do what they should.
