HuskerT Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Wow, I didn't think he'd be rated that high, but the Eagles will definitely move the ball and he'll get plenty of opportunities. Quote Link to comment
Scarlet Overkill Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 Definitely surprised at how high that rating is, considering he's never actually played an NFL game yet. He's off to an awesome start in the preseason game tonight, though. Quote Link to comment
bball_backer Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Didn't want to create another thread so I thought I'd put it here. Pierre Allen just forced a fumble that set up Seattle's go-ahead TD late in the 4th quarter. 1 Quote Link to comment
frazier9495 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Not to take away from what Alex did, but with moving the kickoff up pretty much all the kickoffs were going deep in the endzone or in Oakland's case out the back...but still Quote Link to comment

I admit not paying attention to exactly where the ball was placed, but for some reason I always thought the NFL placement was further back than the NCAA. Quote Link to comment

I admit not paying attention to exactly where the ball was placed, but for some reason I always thought the NFL placement was further back than the NCAA. It was moved to the 35 this year. It was 30 before. "...NFL hopes to reduce injuries during kickoff returns by reducing the raw number of kickoff returns." Quote Link to comment
HuskerT Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Yeah, they just had a segment about that on sportcenter. Kickers love the rule change, but guys trying to make the league as kick returners and special teams players hate it. Quote Link to comment

irafreak Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Just put the ball on the twenty then. Quote Link to comment
