Just now, DLev said:
We’ve gone from advanced analytics on defensive placement to a fucking ESPN announcer saying were lined up wrong before play. Not that where he was standing excuses that garbage from Reddick.
these assholes are an absolute beating. I may have to just listen to the radio because I can't take much more of it.

and even with Reddick's fuck up, Correa still almost got eeeem.
Carlos fired that ball home like he'd punch Joe Kelley's face.

None of this tax stuff matters to his base. I have literally in the last 10 minutes received two texts from different Trumper associates of mine and all they care about apparently is that Joe Biden asked for a break every 30 minutes during the debate tonight. I am guessing this was a talking point on Right Wing media or something this morning. Like Biden is unfit to be President because he wanted a break during the debate or something.
They're so fucking stupid, idiot rubes. Biden should bring a portable ramp with him tonight and challenge Dotard to walk off.

Thomas played in the box on 264 defensive snaps in 2019, as the Ravens opted to use his instincts closer to the line of scrimmage on over a quarter of his defensive snaps. That was more snaps than he had played in the box from 2015-18 combined.
This relatively drastic change had virtually no effect on his coverage grade. Thomas’ 86.1 coverage grade marked the seventh straight season at 80.0 or higher, and he allowed just 87 receiving yards into his primary coverage all season long.
The changing role did show up in several other areas, though. Thomas’ 15 quarterback pressures were 11 more than he picked up from 2013-18 combined, but his 53.2 run-defense grade was the first time in his career that he came in below the 65.0 threshold. All in all, it was a strong start for one of the best safeties in the NFL on what became one of the best defenses in the NFL toward the tail end of the 2019 season.

Not that it means much but Ed Reed was 35 when he signed with the Texans. Earl is 31. When Reed was in 31 yo season he made the Pro Bowl and the following season had one of the best years of his career with 8 INTs and first team All Pro.

I hope he turns out better than the last veteran, All-Pro, former Ravens safety they signed.
I had the same thought but the way I remember it, consensus held that Ed Reed was about done when he signed with the Texans. I think most NFL observers believe ET is still a damn good in pass coverage.

it's the greatest political con of the 20th century. how Republicans have convinced the poor South vote to for the GOP en masse even though the Republicans systematically want to provide fewer benefits to the poor and line the pockets of the rich. all because blacks and Mexicans and Mooslims are the real enemy. it's incredible. and Trump is the greatest political con-man of the 20th century. so this all makes unfortunate sense. he's convinced the SEC that a coastal elite from NYC is their savior and they will defend him at any cost, even if it hits their pocketbooks.
All true, but Republicans do not get to excise the tumor and declare themselves free of the disease. Trump is the apex of a morally bankrupt political movement that sprung from the Reagan revolution. This needs to be hammered into history. Republicanism is a fraud perpetuated on middle and lower class Americans in the service of enriching the wealthy and widening the divide between them. The only thing the GOP gives a shit about is rich folks taxes, guns, and controlling women's reproductive rights.

My team went off yesterday, broke our league all-time high score. It helps to have Russell Wilson and Tyler Lockett stacking all those points. Also have Robinson, Henry, Jones, and the Colts D.....

I think Allen Robinson is about to go off. He was frustrated about getting an extension, but I feel like he’s about to have a “squeaky wheel gets the grease” type of game where he just gets hyper targeted and goes off. He’s by far their best we, and they’re gonna have to score a ton tomorrow to keep up with a desperate Atlanta team IMO.
Yeah I can see how the circumstances this week are ripe for a breakout game from Robinson. My concern is his connection with Trubisky and their failure to convert all those targets into receptions. He's playing something like 80% of the Bears offensive snaps, leads the team in targets (18), but only has eight receptions to show for it and has been outscored on the fasntsy sheet by Darnell Mooney and his 6 total targets. Great matchup vs Atlanta, game script that sets up for the Bears to have to throw a lot to keep up in the second half, but it's hard to trust those goddamn Chicago Bears offensive players.
Otoh, Corey Davis gets to face Minnesota without its top two corners. The Vikings have given up big chunks of yardage to receivers, with most of that damage coming from the Packers offense in week 1. They've allowed five TDs to the WR position. Davis should be the #1/#1a receiving option in the Titans offense alongside Jonnu Smith this week BUT this could be the game where Tennessee pounds them with Henry OR the winless Vikings could be that cornered animal at home staving off 0-3.
Implied totals: Tennessee 27 pts vs Chicago 23 pts.
This one's a summbtich WDIS.

Anyone else own Allen Robinson? I foolishly drafted him out of positional need near the end of the third round after our run on WRs had started and I had my eye on Mike Evans. The guy picking right before snagged Evans and I had to immediately adjust and I went against my own philosophy and took a player I wasn't in love with based on projected value for the pick when I should have taken someone like Ridley or Juju for similar pick value, not to mention all the other guys who were drafted much later who have outperformed Robinson.
So is this the week (@ ATL) that Robinson shows signs of not sucking? Or would you start Corey Davis (@Minn) and send Robinson to the bench?

I would roll with Mike Williams vs Carolina, I don't know how the Lions will handle an iffy Golladay. I'd give it a week.
John Brown or Mike Williams.

In that case I'd roll with Swift.

D'Andre Swift @Arizona or Dion Lewis vs SF at flex in a PPR league?
Swift, still too uncertain how the Giants will approach their RB usage with Barkley done. Surely these aren't your best/only options at flex though?

Would y’all trust Golladay if he goes this weekend?
“
Kenny Golladay hopeful for Week 3
Posted: 1 hr ago. via fftoday.com
Admits he's not 100 percent
Kenny Golladay: “Definitely feeling a lot better. Wouldn’t say it’s 100 percent, I really wouldn’t even put a percentage on it. I just know I’m not 100 percent. I’m going to do everything I can and hopefully I showed enough (in practice this week) that I can be out there.” (Tim Twentyman on Twitter)”
That depends on the depth of your roster and the other starters on your team. If I felt like I had a few studs with great matchups, I'd be tempted to roll the dice with Golladay but otherwise I think it's too iffy against the Arizona pass defense. Who would you start otherwise?

CeeDee Lamb @ Seattle
or
Marquise Brown v KC
Im not just being a cowboys homer for leaning Lamb, am I? I think Lamb has a huge game.
Game script is in favor of Lamb whereas opportunity share is in favor of Brown. I would start Lamb; Seattle's offense scores like crazy, which should favor a shoot out with Dak and the Cowboy's offense and their defense has allowed four 100yd receivers in two games. Baltimore D will slow the Chiefs considerably andHarbaugh will look to grind the Chiefs defense down on the ground between Ingram, Dobbins, and Edwards. Lamb alllll dayyyyyy.

Still a good move. Brees is falling off the cliff wrt air yards per pass attempt and I think the main beneficiary in that offense is Kamara. (duh) Game scripts are going to keep Minshew owners pleased throughout the season.Yea I dropped him and got Jonnu. I also have Brees who has been stinking it up. So I dropped a sorry RB and picked up the hot Minshew and started him yesterday... That didn’t go so well.

Is it time to just drop Gronk or does he flip the switch at some point? What do y’all think?
Yes, this is one of the best TE fantasy years in recent memory. You can do much better than a washed up fantasy Gronk whose primary role is blocking in 2 TE sets.
ETA: late to the thread but yeah you should absolutely grab Jonnu Smith.

Absolutely incorrect. The law has not determined that. The people in charge of law enforcement determined it, and in doing so consciously abandoned their obligations to enforce the law. A prosecutor who fails to get a grand jury indictment in this situation is intentionally trying not to get one. It is that simple.
Exactly, and the first part of the answer to the question of "what would justice look like?" is transparency. The sham jury process in this instance only protects those that the justice system already overwhelmingly protects in the first place. That's not justice, that's a rigged game in favor of law enforcement at the expense of the law abiding public.
