Something looks different? Oh ya Ben Johnson

Its all about perspective, they state Josh only had one interception, he had 3.

BJ is demanding excelence so our first assumption is everyone has been terrible. Truth may be somewhere inbetween. I think he is pushing Wright, not necessarilly trying to replace him. I think Ozzy looks more comfortable at the RT spot. I think he is seeing him as being the swing T for backup to both spots. Jones clearly is not playing well but Theo has been consistent so he gave him some reps at LT. Let the best T win.

There's a difference between bad and mediocre. BJ is setting a high bar and that's a good thing but until I see the finish product, I'm going to wait until I paint it a problem. Braxton last year was by an NFL standard, an average LT. Lots of teams are unsettled at this time with their OL.

Even if we dont solve the LT issue, there is one way to overcome it. Quick throws, running the ball. In the Miami game, Jones blew a block and the guy had a clear path to the QB, we threw a TD pass on that play.

When we get ready to pick a draft date, I have a live draft on Sept 3rd, also Chad does on that day too.

If Booker has 8 sacks this year, Im sure eveyone think that's a win. I think more important for anyone playing on that side is constant pressure, that will be a key on Sweat and the DTs creating chaos. In the two team practices we have 8 ints. Cosidering Gordon and JJ arent playing, that's great news as far as depth for the DB room. I dont think our questions on the DE spot and LT competition is going to be all out failures. I think BJ has raised the bar on the expected play at those positions. We have enough talent at other positions to absorb average play at those spots.

BJ expects better than he is getting from anyone. Is he wanting perfection? When you hear stories of other players playing well, you have no idea of the context of those statements. Does that look great compared to their competition? Like AZ said, lets see how they play week to week. It appears to be the problem for everyone not getting set quick enough to make their blocks. Can someone change that in two weeks? Average play is the floor (Braxton), so at least BJ expects better. We have 4 shots at the golden ring.

If they are considering playing Ozzy over Wright, that means they dont like what Wright is doing. No way they flip him. The new coaches dont look at where someone is drafted, just how they are playing at their spot. No one has grabbed their attention playing LT, so its choosing the least amount of mistakes. It appears they are giving Theo every chance to win the LT job. I would say Jones inconsistant play has him on his way out. They appear to not like the tape on Ozzy , he took no LT reps in practice yesterday. Could Theo be the LT and Ozzy the RT to start the season? That guess is as good as any.

If they dont like his play at RT, why would they flip him?

If no one has been singled out that means no one has been good enough. I think next week, he will pick someone and roll with it ,good or bad. How are you watching practice? Or just videos after the practice?

I have already bet 100 on draftkings website that was 8.5 line for wins. I am actually more confident now that I have seen what kind of coach BJ is. Will it have a rough start, yes, will it be rolling the second half of the season. I believe so. 10 oe 11 could be the ceiling. Gambling is always a risk, each game bets will be determined by how we progress thru the season. Now is not the time to bet games. Injuries always come into play through out a full season. Our team or our opponent. We will have a few disappointments and a few surprises over our schedule but you have to take in consideration, we are only going to get better as we go forward. IMO

Adam send a league invite to Scott Seacrist/ ScottSeacrist@yahoo.com The My Team Sucks team is my friends (mike) and I will change to his email on that team. I talked to Chad Capes, and he is getting back in it, if he hasnt responded to the league reset

We were a 5 win team last year with terrible coaching, a rookie QB, and dysfunctional OL. At some point the players quit on Flus. There was a few more wins we could have had .( Hail Mary) This year we have a 100% upgrade in coaching, 3 new starters on the OL, a QB with talent and added talent upgrade. To think we will win the same number of games as we did last year doesnt seem very logical. I think our floor is 9 and celing of 12?

Some good coaches play their players a lot in the preseason and some do not. I would prefer lots of reps but Im just a fan. This is BJs first year and we have to wait and see how it all turns out. I think it will be rough in the begining but by our bye week we should start to show progress. Week 5 is the bye week.

I to hope they play at least a half for starters. We need to start seeing what training camp has accomplished on both D and O. BJ is taking a lot of crap for not players starters, and I to wish they would have played but I trust him as he executes what his plans are. Its all about playing better in Sept now winning some preseason games.

Poles was on the SCORE today and didnt define the LT position but said Theo earned the chance to compete at LT. I think with this move and Ozzy taking snaps at RT, is just trying to motivate Braxton and Ozzy. Whoever wins out needs to get with the first team and get some continuity with the starters. Thuney will help with the LT position and they come scheme chip help if the LT spot is a problem. We have one of the starting LTs in the SB last year(Thuney) and the other starter was a 7th round pick by Philly in 2018. A former Rugby player that the Eagles developed into a LT. So as much as LT is important, the best in the league did not get their team to the SB. I think we now have a good OL coach and that we will see improvement at the LT spot. Poles has assembled a lot of talent on this team but unfortunately he waited until this year to take it seriously. I think they will settle on a LT (dont care who) and it will work out. I think depth was a big problem last year and it looks a lot better going forward. PFF has us rated as the 4th best OL, I hope they are right for a change.

If you can get past his ego and (Im the smartest guy in the room attitude), Phil does make some good points. BJ was always planning to play the starters in the second game. I had to turn it off when they say BJ corrected his mistakes by playing the starters this week.
