Both Brooks and Freeman had real burst whether it showed up on a timer or not. Jennings didn't seem to have that. He was a good route runner, but not a game breaker like the others. Jennings reminds me of Cobb in terms of lack of burst but not the route running; Jordy reminds me of the other two with his burst and with a good dose of route running ability too. The jury is still out on Adams.

Hell yeah, SB! Crippled as it has been, our D is probably better than that 8th ranking.Originally Posted by JustinHarrell
The Bengal offense may have bad stats, but their talent level is way up there - I'm assuming they were one of the bad offenses you mentioned.

Romo's tactical stream-of-consciousness is fun but what really hit me last night was his sense of humor. The guy has a knack for entertainment.
2 prime examples: 1.) McCarthy caught dropping multiple F-bombs on camera. Romo immediately modulates slightly to this aww-shucks voice, "oh shoot. Gosh darn it!"
2.) Guessing a 4th-and-short playcall correctly as a bootleg saying "McCarthy seems like a bootleg guy, don't you think?" Nantz noted every goddamn bootleg for the rest of the game after that because not only was Romo right, he was slightly hilarious in doing so.

Along the same line - Stud: Mike McCarthy. He lost all his tackles, had to use four guards and a center. First series was brilliant, run, run, run. After all, what do guards do best? Run block. It worked like a charm.

the "oh shoot, gosh darn it" line when fat mike was saying something along the lines of "thats fucking shit" was classic

Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Jones and Nelson could torture defenses outside, Jennings and Driver would burn them inside. Could have big play attempts then just pass for first downs.
Finley just made it lopsided. Defenses hadn't adjusted yet.

i think Jennings had more burst then Freeman
Go PACK
I got a laugh out of when Tony lamented about yet another flag thrown saying - I'm paraphrasing here - Oh good, we can't have the game run smoothly.
You're dreaming as usual. Jennings not a game breaker? C'mon, man! And whatever the hell burst is, Jennings had it in spades.
One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

Went to urgent care today and I have pneomnia.
Wtf, old people are supposed to get that. Not mid-life distance runners.
But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

Yes, and it's not even close.

It's no joke either. I had it 7 years ago and it freakin leveled me for a few days.
Thunder Dan has more burst than Freeman right now. Freeman was the guy that knew instinctively how to find the hole in the zone, so teams had a hard time protecting themselves from Brooks. He could get deep, but like James Jones, it wasn't so much speed as technique and guile. His speed wasn't bad when he was young, but not top end for WR then. He got heavier later in his career and that speed disappeared. He never forgot how to get open underneath though.
Be careful Dan, pneumonia is tricky to treat. It doesn't kill the olds outright (though it can) so much as it leads to lots of complications and repeats. Its kind of like a Tramontana tackle, it just hangs on.
Don't be in a hurry to get back to a normal schedule.

Jennings with a broken leg had more of a burst than Freeman did.

Yup, already to schedule my check up X-rays in a month to make sure it is taken care of.
Massive antibiotics, rest, and fluids. I guess my half marathon at the end of the month is shot.

They are about like the hawk years. They make a play every game or two, and don't screw up a lot. So you don't really know they're there, which is both good and bad

Freeman was slow as hell. Jennings was a special player for a few years, like top 3 we. In the OBJ class
People don't like to remember that because of the way he left, and then fizzled with shit qb's, but he was the best Wr we had since sharpe, with brooks not for behind him IMO
