Michael Sam sacked Johnny Football twice tonight. I hope those nuts tasted like social progress, Johnny Football

*money gesture*

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #181 on:** August 23, 2014, 11:49:55 PM »

Did Sam get any snaps against the Brown's second team? Regardless he has looked good in the preseason, seems to do well on special teams...I think he'll make the team.

Gonna have to miss a good majority of the draft it seems; have a meetup with a lady friend. Does anyone know if the Yahoo FF iOS app will send me pushes when its my turn to draft? I should be able to sneak a few draft picks during this datel

My daughter is really sick. Won't be live drafting. :-(

I hope she gets better soon Gundam

I feel a lot better about my draft this year than last year. Partially because I got Megatron

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #190 on:** August 24, 2014, 04:07:17 PM »

damn, did anyone take Bradford? he's out for the season

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #191 on:** August 24, 2014, 04:16:57 PM »

holy shit @ Bradford. Before getting distracted by the draft, I was actually about to respond to Etiolet's post by saying apparently the knee was fine (as of an hour ago), and I compared him to how Matt Stafford had injury plagued years early before turning out fine.

He's owed 20+mil next year, I can't help but think the Rams will cut him and draft another QB. In the meantime they have Shaun Hill, one of the best backup QBs in the league.

etiolate · « **Reply #192 on:** August 24, 2014, 04:17:54 PM »

I really don't like the new Niners stadium. It looks sort of amateurish. It doesn't take advantage of the Bay scenery and it looks like it was designed to give every fan a terrible sun burn.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #193 on:** August 24, 2014, 05:29:56 PM »

Gee, it's not like I said three or four times in this thread that the draft was today at 3 eastern or anything

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #194 on:** August 24, 2014, 08:20:22 PM »

I was at the draft last year. Two years ago I was at a cabin without internet and told you guys I could only auto draft. That was awesome.

Groogrux · « **Reply #197 on:** August 24, 2014, 11:32:48 PM »

Yeah, I forgot to mention that I wouldn't be able to make the draft this year. Pretty much spend the entire day working at my church.

However, the results I've got aren't bad.

CatsCatsCats · « **Reply #198 on:** August 25, 2014, 02:36:30 AM »

Bye weeks were tough to keep track of on the app so I'll have to con someone into a trade or two eventually, but not bad for drafting between throwing up

M-Sam hasn't been picked up by any teams due to "media distraction" (aka veiled homophobia). Bullshit.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #204 on:** September 01, 2014, 03:03:26 PM »

ESPN did him no favors by running that pathetic shower story.

At the end of the day he's too slow and small. I think he'll get a shot somewhere, maybe Dallas given how weak their defense is. But I really don't think he'll be in the NFL in 3 years. Really reminds me of Tebow: successful college football career, poor measurables or unorthodox play, and onslaught of media coverage

ZephyrFate · « **Reply #205 on:** September 01, 2014, 03:25:26 PM »

He was putting up good stats in the preseason. I think teams could make him work at the very least on special teams.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #206 on:** September 01, 2014, 03:43:50 PM »

But come on Zeph, you watch football. Sam was putting up good numbers against second and third stringers. I always felt the Rams were a horrible place for Sam due to how deep their defensive line is; he would have had to be Clowney to get a spot.

Dallas is currently depleted defensively, and the same will be true of San Fransisco if their d-linemen keep beating their wives. There are places where he could go imo. But like Tebow, he's going to have a hard time sticking around.

ZephyrFate · « **Reply #207 on:** September 01, 2014, 05:53:35 PM »

Him going to SF would be pretty great.

etiolate · « **Reply #208 on:** September 01, 2014, 06:24:30 PM »

Eh, SF's dline techniques require a lot of athleticism. Not sure he'd work out there.

ZephyrFate · « **Reply #214 on:** September 02, 2014, 09:00:32 PM »

Hope he gets put on the roster -- apparently the Cowboys have terrible defense and really need some DEs.

Apparently welker was on Molly that was cut with amphetamines at the Kentucky derby

what a no good thug, should be kicked out of the league and sent back to the ghetto where he belongs!

Pete Carroll breaks down tackling techniques and drills, uses game footage in his breakdown. Very interesting.

CatsCatsCats · « **Reply #220 on:** September 03, 2014, 06:54:46 PM »

So my other league has a flex spot, I'm trying to decide Michael Crabtree vs Toby Gerhart

http://www.fantasypros.com/nfl/start/michael-crabtree-toby-gerhart.php according to this, it's Crabtree, but yahoo has Gerhart for more projected points.

HALP

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #221 on:** September 03, 2014, 07:04:09 PM »

I'd play Crabtree over Gerhart. Doesn't Dallas' defense suck? Then again, Philly will probably score a lot so maybe Gerhart is a good choice? I would still choose Crabtree, though.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #222 on:** September 03, 2014, 07:16:54 PM »

Crabtree should have a pretty good year (when he isn't facing Richard Sherman trollolol), I'd pick him by a mile.

CatsCatsCats · « **Reply #223 on:** September 03, 2014, 07:20:23 PM »

Thanks guys, I needed that push to ignore the projection

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #224 on:** September 03, 2014, 07:31:28 PM »

Also, Gerhart is a white running back

On NFLN last night, they said 6% of fantasy teams have drafted Tebow and only 4% have Hoyer.

I have Percy Harvin in the Bore league and Russell Wilson in the GAF league. Managed to get Wilson in the 10th or 11th round iirc. I read Seattle will pass more this season and definitely think he could really have a "break out" year - or as much of a break out year a Super Bowl winning QB can have. He's more than a game manager. He reads defenses well, great arm, he's accurate...he just needs more (healthy) weapons IMO.

CatsCatsCats · « **Reply #235 on:** September 04, 2014, 05:24:57 PM »

Good luck!

I guess I could put Doug Baldwin in... But not gonna over Shorts, Fitz, or Brown.
