J-ALL-DAY Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 As for McGlinchey, he's help up well in pass protection in the first two games. His run blocking at times has been suspect, but it seems that way for most offensive lineman at this time of the year. Did get owned twice last game that led to a TFL and the other time McNichols made something out of nothing to pick up a few yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I agree, I don't doubt that the players are going to mentally struggle with how to adjust to the new rule. Sherman tweeted about it yesterday, I believe. @mw2noobbuster Here is the vid. Very similar to the Mostert call. Pretty terrible. When the players are leaning down, they are calling that leading with the helmet, and that's just a terrible precedent to be setting. Will definitely change the course of a couple of games this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justone2 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 That call falls more under the Rodgers rule of not driving a QB to he ground than the leading with the helmet rule. Still BS but not the same rule. For that play where Baldinger gives his analysis i still don't understand wat Juice is doing. He is going outside to a guy already being blocked.

Great skill when you can run every route the same way to keep the CB on his toes. Like you wouldn't know if he is running a post/comeback/double move/go route. Sells every route well and is able to break it out without using extra steps. He just needs to get a bit more physical and he has all the makings of a future #1 WR in this league. I wonder if he'll get kick return duties. Didn't he do that in college? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still BS but not the same rule. Good call. I did realize after you said that and I watched it again, that they actually called roughing the passer and not the leading with the helmet. Awful penalty still, but you're right in that they did not call the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pettis returned some punts on Saturday and looked good doing it. I think he will be the PR and Reed will be the KR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I'd probably have Mostert and someone else returning kicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Will the officials be calling it like this during the regular season or is this just a preseason experiment? God I hope it is latter and not the former. These rules are going to make the defenders so hesitant. Hate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need two back there, and I would like for Mostert to be one if only because he has a nice burst, good speed, and he's got the long speed to take them to the house. Not sure he has the most ideal vision for it, but it is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my biased opinion, he locked up the starting KR role after that big return he had on Saturday . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely think it will be Pettis will be the primary PR until he becomes a fixture on the outside. He's just a natural at making something out of nothing. You could see it Saturday. He did more with a handful of punts than I saw Taylor do all of last year. He's just too good there to let someone else do it IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't break any, but I thought he was very good at creating positive yardage when there really shouldn't have been any. He's not a break one type though like Pettis is. I think he's the type who specializes in making returns that should be 0-2 yards into 10-15 yards. I'm not sure what the share load will be between the two, but I definitely think they will both get some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
