packfanfb Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Last night it sure looked like Fangio needs the Bears' personnel on D more than the Bears personnel needs Fangio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think by mid-season we'll see they both need each other. Fangio doesn't have nearly as many horses on that defense than he did in Chicago. Jury is still out on how Pagano runs the Chicago defense. Our offense was quite offensive honestly. It will improve though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leader Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share Posted September 10, 2019 The Official 2019 Saints Penalty Watch has begun. I'm figuring every week coverage will include reference to some officiating slight (or mistake) that cost (or almost cost) the Saints - of course with reference to the crime against humanity committed in their game against the LAR.

Coaching one third of a team is considerably different from coaching all three phases of a team and monitoring a game. How many times have we seen defensive-minded head coaches lose touch with that side of the ball? Also, the Raiders added a ton of talent on both sides of the ball this offseason. This is not the Raiders of 2018. That is almost a different roster entirely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First rookie RB to have 100 yards from scrimmage and 2 touchdowns since 2001 tells me differently. Last player to do that was Ladanian Tomlinson. Tyrell Williams isn't terrible, either. Bottom 5 I would say is pushing it. Definitely not top half, but I wouldn't say bottom 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needed 24 touches to do that. Less than 4 YPC, he just got volume, nothing impressive about Jacobs other than he's their horse and they're going to ride him as a rare true feature back. Great if you own him in fantasy, but he doesn't move the needle. Williams is their best skills guy, and he's a slightly better MVS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did it against the Broncos, who happen to have talent on defense. It was 24 points. Let's not act like the Raiders pulled a Patriots on the Broncos. It was at home for the Raiders. And it was week 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share Posted September 10, 2019 Mike Garafolo: Eagles DT Malik Jackson is expected to miss the season with a Lisfranc injury suffered Sunday vs. the Redskins. Jackson will have surgery next week. Tough one for Philly despite their DL depth. Ian Rapoport: A brutal blow for one of the #Eagles biggest acquisitions of the offseason. A top D-lineman goes down in Week 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
