NFL 2019

Pre-season kicked off yesterday with the Falcons vs Broncos. Was a snoozer.
Other news: Aaron Donald came in at #1 in the Top 100 Players in the NFL.
It's incredible that a guy that small is so dominant on the inside. First DT to have 20 sacks in a season.Did he even get a sack in the post season? I think most teams nullified him.. but no surprises for him to be #1.. you have to double team him, like the good teams did in the playoffs..
Really surprised to see Brees in at #2..
I really thought Mahomes had a shot as #1..
But yes, let's let have 6 time superbowl winner have more ammunition to drive him this season.. have 2 QBs ahead of him in the rankings lol -
@mimic They vote on the rankings at the end of the regular season, so I think it's fair that Mahomes and Brees were ahead of Brady. Both had awesome seasons.
The list is always weird every year though, guys like DeForest Buckner, Chandler Jones, Kevin Byard and Quenton Nelson didn't even make the list this year.
This is the real #1 though.:smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes:

Another big play from Christian Wade in a preseason game, showing the skills you'd expect of someone who played international Rugby. Talk that he could become the Buffalo Bills starting Running Back. I expect a lot more interest now in disgruntled but fast Rugby players from NFL scouts.

@sparky I'll be surprised if he got close to being the starting running back. If you're playing in the 4th quarter in a pre-season game, the truth is, you're well down the pecking order on the team. Good to see him making some plays though.
Word is that it’s Perry and Yeldon fighting for the last RB spot.
Good on Wade for making the most of his preseason opportunities though. Got people talking.
-
The other factor is that the teams get an extra practice squad place for the international programme (or whatever its called) players. So unless they look capableof starting right away, expect them to be stashed. That bonus practice squad spot means they can't be activated.

Talk about dropping the bombshell a week or two before the start of the season. Indy were rating themselves a chance this season too.

He's sick of being crocked. Fair enough

@KiwiMurph said in NFL 2019:
Josh McDaniels decision to not take Colts job looks pretty smart now.
I wonder who is left for them to get in? I bet Kaepernick won't get a call
They have one of the best back ups in Jacoby Brissett. Just ride the season out with him and get your new franchise QB in the draft.
-
@Sneakdefreak Agreed. Even young Chad Kelly is a talented QB on their roster though a bit of a headcase (suspended first few weeks + got into off field trouble in college).

Preseason is over and teams are now trimming their rosters to 53 players.
Cuts tracker: NFL teams finalize 53-player rosters
The NFL preseason has ended. The regular season is less than a week away from kicking off and that means it's time for teams to cut their rosters down to 53 players before Saturday's deadline.
No major names cut but the NY Jets cut RB Elijah McGuire who is a decent player. Could see a RB-needy team like Houston picking him up. Former QB turned WR Tyrelle Pryor is cut by the Jags.
-
Houston Texans were busy today. DE Clowney was traded from the Texans to the Seahawks, O-line man Tunsil and WR Stills were traded from the Dolphins to the Texans in a blockbuster trade that included two first round picks and a second round pick going to the Fins. RB Carlos Hyde was traded again this time from the Chiefs to the Texans.
In non-Texan news Shady McCoy was released by Buffalo and has immediately signed with the KC Chiefs.
