CD Newsletter Week 3

Speaking about a flat spot . The Vikings getting a 2.5 / 3 @ home against a good Texans team that have had two tough physical games to start the season is something to watch . I know its Darnold but DJ Brow may be all over this 

Quick tidbit about the Bears o line. I didn't know this till recently, but apparently the Bears kept one position coach after firing OC Luke Getsy.

Guess who, offensive line coach Chris Morgan. It's his 3rd year with the Bears. Why they didn't let Shane Waldron bring in a guy for his system is beyond me. Also, the Bears gm is an ex nfl offensive lineman. So it's the main talk in town right now how gm Ryan Poles did so well in addressing every position except the oline during this rebuild. 

To put into perspective, Lucas Patrick was on the Bears last year. Played guard and center. He was abysmal, scoring in the 50's per pff. This year he's the starting LG for the Saints, and the highest graded guard in the league at 92.6.

Also Bears ex guard James Daniels was cut by the Bears in 2022 when Ryan Poles came in. He is now starting for the Steelers and scoring an 89.8 per pff.

Coaching is damn important in the nfl. And one of the hardest aspects to handicap.

Coaching very undervalued in capping, but coaches play roles even though they are not throwing, catching, running or tackling

 

Very astute

Well ...I played these . Will get the Ytd up shortly 

 

Bucs  -6.5  -107

Cards +3  -113

Saints  -1.5  -109

Vikes  +3  -125

Bengals / Bills  -110

 

See what happens I guess 

 

 

 

Ytd  7-10  -$60

All bets 1 unit flat ($100)

 

Bucs  -6.5  -107

Cards +3  -113

Saints  -1.5  -109

Vikes  +3  -125

Bengals / Bills  -110

 

See what happens I guess 

 

That Saints line seems very baity...I mean they seem leaps and bounds better than the iggles, but why hang that number out there with them at home...do we see regression from Carr this week? Does the green machine finally play up...that was an embarrassing loss to the Falcons at home...

 

Looks like Saints could be without Hill and Lattimore

 

very intriguing game...

 

 

@ABooksNightmare

 

Hill and Latimore were out last week as well 

@ABooksNightmare

 Like the under in the phi/no game if anything...49.5 seems pretty wild...winner in the 21-27 range makes sense

I thought Hill started last week and was injured in the game....I really like Hill...

If the Saints win this game they will have a lot of eyes on them....I guess I'm always fearful of Carr given that I watched him play in college and with my Raiders and so many times he made bad choices at critical times, but he never really had a running game and O line like he has with the Saints...this could just be the scenario that suits him...no question he gets the ball downfield and he has playmakers so a lot of my disdain is not so much with the Saints, but rather Carr himself and his history with me, and by me, I mean my raider gear and commitment to excellence...

It is possible the regression comes this week for the Saints as I mentioned above...I don't like playing that angle, but the iggs do not look good and it is showing...on the other hand the Saints looked really good beating up on stellar Dallas D...I think it was more of the dallas D playing poorly, but either way you have to hand it to the Saints...they went on teh road to Jerry world and performed like nobody's business....now, back home and most would expect the same...I just find this game a bit tricky...on paper it is Saints all the way, but something smells rotten for me...the saints magic number here is roughly 25.5 and I'm not sure they are scoring that against the iggs D this week...moreso due to regression of the offence, IMO...I also don't anticipate a high scoring game as if the iggs have any chance it is in a low scoring affair...if both get to 20 it would surpass my expectation and I would go out on a limb and say that the iggs have no chance of winning...I would side with the under here and expect a close game throughout....I like the under call

@ABooksNightmare

 Weeks 1-4 are always a mess . Teams that dominate look like shit when least expected ...you may be right about Hill...Got hurt early 

@trainwreck66

 Oh yea no doubt the first weeks are tough as nuts....and I'm not knocking the play but this game has my taint tingling and I showered already so it has to be because Carr is involved...the guy tingled my nether region for years with the Raiders so it's hard to move past...we need a QB so bad and if he does well with the saints then it's because the raiders failed him not the other way around...

If Dalton does well for the Panthers this week or even shows some fight....Bryce Young may be a bigger bust than Ryan Leaf 

And ironically Ryan Leaf was talking shit about the Panthers benching Bryce in lieu of dalton...leaf is a putz but it is true, what message are they sending to Bryce by doing this...what, to win a few games this year...

@ABooksNightmare

 

 

Rumor Willis has it ...Young may be all but finished in Carolina...unfortunately....but he is terrible...it happens 

@atomicsub

 Leaf did rails off my cock ....he is ok with me also 

Had to look up your county this morning but that is great news. Good Luck going forward.  Where I live we have a legit homeless issue that is totally out of control. A tent city that has taken over a beautiful park. By the time they figured out what their rights were, It had grown to 300 people. No end in site or answer for that matter. 

Quote of the Day 
“Yeah, I’m interested in coaching. My dad was a college coach, I was a college coach at Pitt, my wife was a cheerleader at Tennessee when I met her. Hell yeah, I’m interested in coaching. I know I can help a team, I know I can help young players get better, and I know I can hire a good staff, and that’s the only thing I can guarantee. But yeah, I’m very interested in coaching at any level, period.”
Former NFL coach Jon Gruden. Compliments of Armadillo Sports. Tigers, WOAH!!

The Jets did Geno a solid by getting him as far away from the east coast as possible.Then he put all his energies into football saving his self from the dustbin of has been's. I commend him. As for letting high priced qb's ride the bench and learn for a spell $$$$$ closed that door. 

@Biscuiteater1

 I agree with you. I've been promoting my opinion with friends and this forum about this very problem. Maybe don't draft these rookie qb's so high. Teams are wasting draft capital and money on guys who rarely are ready to "win now". Just look how bad of a place the Panthers are in.

If I'm a gm, I'm building my team with core positional players if I have high draft picks. Do it like fantasy football players do. 

Hitters  .... Westburg Mateo Urias Mountcastle....

Pitchers .....Webb Columbe Means Bradish Wells GRod....Bautista

Norby /Stowers traded for Rodgers ..so bad sent to AAA....depth depleted...

finally ran outta gas.....

 

These arent the Orioles....Sparrows maybe.....

Patriots / Jets Over 38.5. (5u) 

You are definitely on to something...so many focus on teh QB position and go after teh next best QB every time...you do need a general at QB, but someone might try focusing on other core players and protecting your QB first before running a non tested NFL talent out there,,,,I mean, just the speed of teh game alone is worlds apart from college to the pros and that clock in their head is not set right...they be on daylight savings time and that shit more often than not does not work with these NFL defenses...

 

I'm on board with this observation

Where is the offense going to come from
