2017-2018 NFL Season Thread [Archived] Football • Page 75

Would love paying $45,000 a seat for 8 regular season games when you get THAT game 19 of the entire schedule.

 

does anyone watch Ballers on HBO?

in tonight's episode, the one guy who plays for the Cowboys in the show mentioned to a kid "oh, you wanna know where Zak and Deke are I bet" (paraphrased) instead of Dak and Zeke

I didnt know if that was intentional lol or what

 

Hope not, at least once the new stadium excitement wears off. I guess we'll see

 

so the Cowboys cut Lucky Whitehead because he was arrested for shoplifting a few weeks ago

his agent claims he wasnt in the state on the night of the alleged incident

 

The Cowboys draw the line at shoplifting but somehow assault doesn't make the cut.

 

The Cowboys franchise has always been complete garbage

 

F the Cowboys

 

can Verner play the slot?

 

"star"

 

Nice

 

Verner's specialty is the slot. Especially on a team that doesn't run as much zone as Tampa

 

Verner is bad.

 

because Tampa tried to make him an outside corner.

He was effective from the slot in Tennessee.

 

No, he played as a top corner with the Titans. He's not good. He had one really good year and got way overpaid. They brought over all his former coaches to try to figure it out and he still wasn't good. He played nickel for them a good amount and didn't even win the job outright, he couldn't beat out undrafted guys. I want him to be good again but I don't think it's gonna happen.

He's an awesome guy though, great locker room dude

Maybe he'll play better on a better defense where they have a pass rush consistently and he doesn't have to do work, maybe the Dolphins are that team.

 

my perspective on it is literally "Cover 2 defense is a very specific skillset and not everybody can do it"

I think he'll be fine in Miami

 

He didn't play cover 2 last year and hardly was on the field while being paid 7m lol

 

Verner is only 28? Man, I thought he was in his 30s haha.

 

if Verner is signed and can be an average slot corner, I love our secondary this year

 

NFL needs to figure out a solution, now

 

"Why should college players get paid?"

 

Lol so Lucky Whitehead is completely innocent and the DAs office screwed up and the Cowboys said "ah. We've moved on".

Lmao. Fuck that wretched franchise.

 

LOL wow
