Urban Meyer forcing Etienne into a Percy Harvin role when he already has Viska on the roster and potentially ruining the upside of two great prospects was more or less exactly what I expected when Urban Meyer got an NFL head coaching job
#Jaguars
coach Urban Meyer told reporters that first-round RB Travis Etienne will take all of his minicamp reps at WR. “Worst case scenario you have a running back that's elite with receiver skills,” Meyer said. Similar, it seems, to Le’Veon Bell in his prime.

This article's a rough read. Johnson's playoff run ended with the late Sunday game in SF. He wouldn't even be back to Detroit until late Sunday night/early Monday morning. Meeting was scheduled for Tuesday. He presumably sent this text Monday.
Article matter-of-factly calls him…
Ben Johnson's agent shared his plans to stay in Detroit by texting Washington officials while the Commanders’ group was on a flight to Michigan.
League sources shared one unified sentiment: The Commanders got screwed, write

MIA hit 49 in late 3Q. From there, their three TDs were:
- after an INT where they took over at the 8
- a 68-yard TD pass between backups on 3rd and 10
- a 67-yard TD run
Kneeling the whole 4Q would have been disrespectful. The rest was on Denver.
Speaking with multiple NFL owners, I’m told there is a common feeling that

HC Mike McDaniel running up the score on the Broncos was “disrespectful” to the game of Football.

Have argued against the hip drop for some time. One of the things I learned from our Aussie brothers is they've legislated it out of rugby, to great success.
Don't listen to the fear-mongering. It's a no-brainer fix.

Can we go back to George Pickens’ catch? Think there’s a case it was top five in NFL history. Lot of great catches, but I’m not even sure how a catch could be meaningfully better. Bending backward nearly parallel to the ground, adjusting to wind. Clean one-hander. It was art.
