Anyone who thinks Murray is better than Tua should have their voting rights removed.

On all these cute plays Nick is running with Tua at WR, why not knock the kid on the line? I know it’s a little dirty but within 5 yards, it’s legal right? I mean nothing too cheap, but he’s got a bum ankle so I’d flex so muscle on him

I’m serious. I don’t understand why teams don’t do this? I grew up playing pop-warner football where Corners and Receivers were nothing more than outside lineman. You don’t press hard on receivers in today’s game cause if you do, it’s 6. But against a QB @ WR, I like my chances. Corners can still jam at the line right? It’s like we forgot the basics of football.

Put your general in the line of Fire, and I’m going to take a shot. I see the Saints do this every week with Hill and Brees. And I’m always like, what am I missing? Would I have my corner press heavy on the line against Michael Thomas, hell no. He’d own me for 6. But not worried about Brees making it off the line. Same goes for Tua. Please someone tell me why I’m wrong here. Everytime a QB lines up at receiver, I’m making sure he’s going to have some contact

I do see they put them outside the numbers so if they feel under distress, they can run out of bounds. But hell, I’m still making them run.

This replay stuff is out of hand. They should have to review the footage at full speed...

Seems the game has settled into a more toned down affair, did Bama peak too soon in the first half?

I’m not talking cheap shot. Just talking making the guy earn his keep. If I put my QB at LT do I expect a DE to not knock him down? Seriously?

Then if so, why don’t we put A-Mart at LT

What a crap argument. LT and WR, so similar of positions.
