I'll take Matt Ryan too. Flacco has been successful, however he has that monster defense and a great running game.

We're starting a drive in the red zone? For actual?

Kolb was brilliant on the Eagles opening drive, but a lot of that is probably the Jaguars defense.

Jags OTs playing at a high level. Rest of their team, not so much.

Impossible, they drafted Tyson Aloua.

@DCStarJEllis Hey Josh hows Doug Free doing in practice?He had a bad game tonight.

Wow, Doug Free is abused by Matt Shaughnessy, almost gives up a safety.

1. Doug Free lost the leverage battle on an early run. Stay low coming out of your stance and dig the defender out. At least that’s what my high school coach told me, though I was pretty mediocre in high school. Must have been the mediocre coaching and not my lack of talent, speed and size.

Hopefully Trent Williams doesn't look like that next week against Baltimore.

re: 2010 NFL Preseason
 

Matt Hasselbeck has really declined severely since 2007. He doesn't let any routes develop and doesn't seem to have any sort of residual accuracy. He's just winging it out there (although velocity doesn't seem to be an issue).

The NFC West seems to be the division where any team that gets good quarterback play can win it.

And now to Dirtbag for a Charlie Whitehurst plug.

It looks like our Mike Williams isn't the only Mike Williams trying a comeback. The Seahawks' receiver just got a touchdown.

I have a feeling this overpaid kid is gonna end up on IR this season.

Sam Bradford completes six passes, takes four sacks

Posted by Mike Florio on August 14, 2010 10:35 PM ET
Rams quarterback Sam Bradford made his NFL debut on Saturday night, in the team's preseason opener.

The best news is that no joints on his body exploded like a kernel of popcorn in a blast furnace. Beyond that, Bradford didn't do anything to elicit "oohs" or "boos" from the hometown fans.

Entering the game on the Rams' first drive of the second quarter, Bradford completed six of 13 passes for 57 yards. His second attempt was a short ball that resulted in an 18-yard gain by receiver Laurent Robinson.

Bradford's opening effort ultimately fizzled on a failed fourth-down try at the Minnesota 36. The St. Louis offense then went three and out on his second drive, via three straight incomplete passes.

On the next drive, Bradford threw another incompletion on first down; he then was sacked on consecutive plays.

Though Bradford was expected to exit the game at halftime, he returned for a fourth drive to start the third quarter. After two more completions and two more sacks (one caused him to fumble the ball out of bounds), the Rams punted and Bradford called it a night.

Meanwhile, Vikings backup Sage Rosenfels completed 23 of 34 passes for 310 yards and three touchdowns, and the Vikings lead in the fourth quarter, 21-7.

The Minnesota defense is nasty and the Rams are awful.

It's not a good combination for a rookie QB.

Most rookie QB's don't get near the field in the first half of the first pre-season game.

I think Bradford is going to be an amazing QB, but he could so easily bust out it's not even funny.

The transition is so brutal.

re: 2010 NFL Preseason
 

Titans look pretty good as Vince Young has apparently improved his game many-fold, and the Detroit local announcers are better than what we have here.

Ben Tate possibly done for the year for Houston...Willie Parker, come on down!

Bradford is a goner. He won't survive the season, definitely not the length of his contract. He should have pulled an Eli Manning and simply refused to play for the Rams. It is a damn shame that the best talent coming out of college is stuck playing on crappy teams.

re: 2010 NFL Preseason
 

Bradford has absolutely no help, and not much talent to work with. 4 sacks in a preseason game doesn't bode well when the games will mean something. He did OK for a rook in preseason, but he won't excel til he plays out his contract and goes elsewhere to play. That is if he survives the Rams. THey really need to get rid of the salary cap permanently.

As a Sooner fan, I hate that he got drafted by the Rams they are so bad. I concur he might destroy that rebuilt shoulder again by mid-season.
