Sleeper teams in NFL this year?
Was talking about this at work today. I think my sleeper teams this year will be the chargers and Rams. I think that both teams had horrible years past year but will progress substantially. Goff may very well still be a bum. But that front 7 is just too nasty to not be disruptive. And if Gurley can return to form from 2 years ago that will buy Goff more time in the pocket to hopefully make better decisions. I'm not saying at all that they will be a playoff team, but don't sleep on that D.
Chargers also have Rivers pissed that he was so shitty last year and the competition in the AFC West of now JUST the Raiders. I don't see the chiefs or the broncos going better than 8-8 which means that the chargers might get a boost they didn't have last year if they can win at least 2-3 games against both KC and Denver. Not really saying either of them are going to be playoff teams, just better than last year. Thoughts? Also, before anyone says Bucs, I left them off because everyone is saying they'll be better this year. |

RAVENS
everyone thinks they will be middling at best they have no evidence of a run game, no evidence of an offensive line, and a mid tier at best receiving corps. ON PAPER meanwhile they are gonna go 16-0 enroute to the super bowl best D in the league, the run game will be improved and they will actually stick to it allegedly this year so flacco doesn't have to pass literally 50 times a game they got this fuck everyone else

Any way you can listen to Jim Rome is always good. They cancelled his ESPN show, but he should be back on radio. He's the best I know.

agreed, and living in ohio thats the big media spin for sure here, since its browns tv/radio area, they're downplaying it like good riddance
meanwhile when he's healthy he can cover anyone as good as anyone the steelers are better with him, and i don't like that lol.

Bucs.
I'm gonna say them even though you said not to. I'm working out some final travel plans to fly out to Green Bay for the Packers/Buccaneers game December 3rd. I also just bought tickets to the Packers/Cowboys game week 5 in Dallas. Should be dope. Lambeau and Jerry World. Fucking stoked. That being said, I also think the Panthers bounce back this year, and I think the Titans will have a good year, too. Also, for whoever asked about podcasts, I regularly listen to Bill Simmons podcast. Hasn't been much football talk lately though.

the ravens finish the preseason 4-0
lol i wish they didn't have to cut to 53 or whatever it is. let em keep the 90 guys, and just pay the extra 37 players practice squad money. whoever is on the official 53 gets real money, so if you move someone up in a week they get a real check the ravens got a ton of depth that is on the cusp, specifically at wideout, no way they will be able to keep them around and develop them. someones gonna get some developmental beasts in the future it was good to see humphery finally get some solid time too. big tackle on a RB forcing a fumble, beautiful to see after our run of pussy corners of late. i wanna see jaylen hill make the team, undrafted corner who's been solid brent urban better have a starting spot as well. been on the team for awhile, never seen much of him due to injuries he's been a special teams guy blocking FG's and shit, but he was an ANIMAL this preseason, sacks, run stopping, kids everywhere, will definitely make up the pass rush when old man suggs is in there judon looking like i hoped he would as a rookie last year so suggs and judon on the edges, being swapped out for BOWSER, williams and z. smith. the big bullies brandon williams and michael pierce eating blockers letting mosley and correa run free, with brent urban in the mix with kaufusi and carl davis etc. whatever front 7 we put out is gonna wreak havoc. meanwhile on the backend got two of the best safeties in weddle and jefferson, just that front 7 and them two on the backend providing help could allow us to play any corners sufficiently lol, but we got jimmy smith da goon, arguably a top 10 corner, brandon carr da mediocre lol, still good enough to start for most teams, the young bull humphery, webby in the slot looking solid again, and hopefully that rookie jaylen hill this defense could be legit special bro's

Lol I've been keeping up on the cowboys rooks on D as well. I'm mad a couple picks aren't going to make the roster as well. Joey Ivey had rod marinelli jumping up and down when he snagged him in the 7th but hasn't done anything in camp. Rico Gathers is a TE and was beasting in preseason. Dude was a PF for Baylor in college but decided he wanted to play football again for the first time since 8th grade and we grabbed him in the 6th last year. Dude got a concussion and will start the season on IR. That means he won't sniff the field till week 8. With the cowboys drafting 7 of 9 players on defense this year, I'm upset we saw almost none of them play. Xavier Woods is a name people are going to know this season. He's looked solid, but most importantly he's healthy. Our 2nd and 3rd round CBs haven't really played, the receiver we took in the 2nd hasn't played either but looks to just be a special teams Ace. Beasley has a lock on the slot receiver but the cowboys wanna run a few sets with 4 wide and no TE with 2 shifty, short receivers crossing the middle. Stoked for week 1. |
