So I should pick up Terrance West in my league?

 

Dixon

 

yes and/or Kenneth Dixon

 

Yeah. Hate to diss my boy Matt's best WR his college team has ever had but I really don't like Beckham's whiney attitude. Jalen Ramsey is an asshole too but I'd love to see Ramsey getting in Beckham's face, Beckham could certainly burn him but I think Ramsey would just hurt OBJ's feelings and fuck with his psyche on the field and make him play worse. He would just be so physical and OBJ would spend all game complaining about it and shy away from routes when Ramsey got close like he did to Xavier Rhodes

But Victor Cruz would have 160 yards and 3 TDs against Davon House and the Giants would torch us anyway. And then Ramsey would still talk smack to OBJ after the game.

 

Yup.

 

It's definitely gotten to the point where I'm tired of making excuses for OBJ

 

Will Fuller is cackling and rubbing his stone hands together menacingly

 

This at least says they are comparable, which they absolutely aren't.

So...Cleveland and Chicago haha.

 

Haha. Well only if you use him in the slot. He's either getting Amukamara or Ramsey if lines up out wide.

In terms of coverage the SD game was a fluke - Amukamara was out and House gave up 3 TDS and some penalties. All the other 3 games Ramsey and Amuk look excellent. That 64 yard Dorsett TD is the ONLY mistake Ramsey has made this year, I'm talking he hasn't even given up a 9 yard pass aside from that. Hes allowed one 7 yarder to Steve Smith in man-to-man and a few various 5 yarders happened underneath him in zone but he still made a quick tackle. If he keeps playing like this he's DROY without question.

 

I'm not worried about Fuller vs Amukamara.

Honestly if I'm Jacksonville...I put Amukamara on Hopkins and Ramsey on Fuller. Call me crazy but I see Amukamara being able to cut the routes to make big plays on a receiver Osweiler doesn't have the best chemistry with, and if the safeties are left in a position to stop Hopkins, he can be contained. Meanwhile Ramsey can completely shut out our deep threat and then we're forced to rely on our less effective targets.

 

Amukamara is surprisingly good. He came EXACTLY as advertised - complete with the ability to predict and run routes for the WR, the elite quickness to bite on double moves and still catch up to the ball downfield, and the unavoidable hamstring injury that already happened in week 2

 

The Eagles are not better than the Vikings but the game being in Philly makes it a toss up

Vikings have an edge in the front 7 and a MUCH better secondary. Wentz is playing better than Bradford so far. Running games are about even. O-Lines are about even without Johnson and Kalil in the picture. I'd take Diggs over any Philly WR/TE but the Eagles have better depth especially at TE. Eagles also have an edge on special teams.

That said, this game is a few weeks away lol

 

Agree with all this except I still think the Vikings will perform well on the road and that's why they will win

 

I chock this up to the culture of the sport and roll my eyes. Also, Beckham may have only been the best receiver in LSU history because he played with the second best receiver in LSU history.

 

Well, the game is only a few weeks away, injuries and such could change everything over the course of that time. My main focus are the Lions right now.

 

Go Big Red.

 

Makes me think of another top WR in his college's history

 

Their D will come to play but Bradford and McKinnon are prone to stinkers, and the crowd will be rowdy, especially for Sammy Sleeves. Who knows.

 

Oh yeah, I don't disagree with that point.

 

LaFell and Bowe? Reed and Clayton? Not sure I'm following you haha.

Edit: Oh "his." Thought that said "this" haha. Who?

 

Made several third down tackles and had 2 PDs against the Colts too. He was a big reason why we blanked their offense until the 4th quarter.

 

Hopkins and Watkins

Hahaha

 

I think Sam will crumble in Philly. That stadium will be pretty relentless not to mention if the Eagles win this Sunday, I bet that game gets flexed into a Sunday Night game.

 

SOMETHING SOMETHING BATTERIES

 

Hopkins, Watkins, Martavis*
