OT: Washington Redskins 2018 Season V0l. 2: 1-1 = Half empty... :(

[Jacoby4HOF66]

I think Su'a was/is an immature kid who doesn't handle not being in control well and who wasn't ready emotionally for the NFL, and I think the Redskins didn't handle it properly. It has nothing to do with believing his side of the story or not. As always, the truth is somewhere in the middle of the two narratives.

The Skins got a 5th round pick for a player with a history of quitting. Seems they handled it pretty well considering the circumstances.

Agree, but it also seems like they should have known about said player's history of quitting prior to selecting him in the 2nd round of the draft.

Anywho, he's Denver's problem now.

So much for collusion. Easier to cry martyr I guess.

The contract offer was before the anthem protests started:



So yeah, this doesn't disprove that collusion occurred and is occurring after the protests started. Just that Kaepernick was going to refuse a (lowball) contract restructuring if he were traded from the 49ers to the Broncos in 2016, which nixed any potential trade. John Elway is being disingenuous with his comments.

Ahh ok I see the timeline now. Collusion is difficult to prove. I expect the NFL legal machine to grind him up eventually and he’ll just fade away.

Don’t disagree that legally he has challenges, but he’s not going to fade away in the public eye and his contributions to society are already having an impact.

I said it before but I think (and hope) history is going to look back very favorably at Colin Kaepernick.

I feel like he’s already fading away. Unless he suddenly starts doing more meaningful things, he’ll simply be remembered as the protest guy with the pigs in cop uniform socks.

Kaepernick blew his shot to do anything meaningful with his celebrity status because he was stupid. His star is fading and fading fast. He accomplished little to nothing.

Barry said he was pissed his old buddies at USC didn’t tell him Cravens quit while at USC. Guess Barry could have dug a little as well. But yeah, DEN problem now.

We get the new MNF crew tonight. A new crew with a guy named Booger on it. Fantastic.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

1st play of the Alex Smith era and he gets planted. Take him out!

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Vernon Davis motions into blocking back position and they run play action? Of course they do, no chance Davis will lead block on a running play.

And, Slim Rob underwhelming running inside. Shocker.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Slim Rob catching a pass out of the backfield is a surprise.

What isn’t a surprise? Lavaman pushed into Smiths lap on back to back passing plays.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Nice drive. Smith looked good. Hope that’s it for him tonight.

 

[g00n]

Did we ever see empty backfield 3rd and goal with Kirk? Good 3rd and long conversion on that drive, too. Smith better stay healthy. Looking at you, o-line.

 

[hockeykicker]

that should have been a td, but smith looking good

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Payne sighting.

Perine breaks a 30 yard run then comes off the field limping. Sweet!

Preseason clownball in full effect

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Nice play Troy...

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Cam Sims looks like a keeper.
