In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
His initial contact on the rusher is wrong. He goes with arms to the side which will almost always result in a hold or the rusher just raising his arms forcing Barron's arms up and away. A lineman is supposed to make initial contact with arms straight forward into the rusher's chest to either delay the rusher's burst or to pancake the player.
muller, Keyser,
any thoughts on Maroney being shipped off to Denver?

Do you guys visit the league? I have requested trades so many times and don't get any response, they just expire.
Obviously you don't want any of my players.
I edited my team today.
lol
What team are you? Let me check you out. I want to trade Benson.
I've been on, where do i find the pending trades
I don't want Benson. I'm Bloody Tears though.
Up yours Team Vivs for declining my offer of Benson. Benson is solid player that can help your ball club. He has worked hard all through training camp and you don't want him? To hell with you and the horse that you rode on.
I am pissed off, give me what I need or else...I will aim for the knee of your QB.
Oh and if you have not figured it out, yes this is a treat.
And you even have about 10 running backs in your team. WTH? (Hell) lol

vivs is banned until December. I'll relay your message though.
I don’t like it to be honest and think it could be a short term mistake. He had a team friendly contract and they already have a load of picks for next years draft so he could have just played it out and left. I get that the team are trying to adopt a physical running style but Morris and Taylor are almost guaranteed to miss a few games each season, the latter being on the injury report for his toe already. Faulk is my favourite player on the team but you don’t really want to use him too much in that capacity.
Bill commented that he thought it was just time to move on and I suppose The Law Firm simply did more to warrant being activated on game day. He is very active on special teams and has obviously worked hard on his game in the off season. Troy Brown and Fred Taylor seem really high on him as a runner too so we will have to see how it goes. Hopefully, we see more of a burst from him rather than three yards and a cloud of dust.
As I've proved already in this thread, i'm a complete novice when it comes to the NFL, but does it mean that the Pats are gonna try draft a running back in the first round, possibly with their pick from Oakland as most of the committees contracts expire at the end of the season? Possibly Mark Ingram if they can? Or will they have to focus on replacing Moss as a deep threat if he does leave?
Apologies for being a complete tool, but I'm really starting to get into watching it, i just have a very poor knowledge base.
That's not a bad assessment at all. They will have to focus on both. You get seven picks in the draft so they will have to decide which one of those problems to address first. The Patriots are also traditionally very good at trading some of their earliest picks to get extra later picks so I don't think they'll have too many problems filling in their holes.
I would assume Mark Ingram is out of the question since he will probably go early if he has another season like he did last year and the Pats will pick late if they make the playoffs unless they somehow manage to trade up.
I thought the Pats had Oaklands first round pick due to the Richard Seymour trade? I thought they may have used that to get Ingram, as from what I've read in this thread Oakland have a bad schedule meaning that they won't do too well. May be totally wrong though as you'll know more than me
feckin Pats. I keep forgetting they're always grabbing these early picks. You're right.There is a very good chance Ingram could be drafted by the Pats. I've been saying it for a while, but now that LoMo is gone, it looks even stronger. If you look at the teams that would potentially be picking before the Raiders pick, they either dont need a RB or they have bigger concerns.
Bills - Need a QB, drafted Spiller
Chiefs - Have Charles, also need a QB or some O-line men
Rams - Have Jackson, need WR and O-line men
Browns - Need a QB, drafted Hardesty
Lions - Drafted Best, need some picks for the secondary
The only thing that would stop the Pats drafting Ingram are that they either get a top 4 pick due to the Raiders finish, and would probably go with Robert Quinn or Marcell Dareus. Of course none of this matters, as it's probably 99% likely Belichick will trade down for a wealth of lower round picks including Mark Herzlich and Daniel Thomas.

Don't worry Gormless, you will pick it up. None of us in this thread really know what we are talking about anyway, its full of armchair Quarterbacks! I'm not a big believer in drafting running backs high to be honest mate and think you can get greater value lower down the draft. Maybe its a possibility with the Pats 32nd slot in the draft or a second rounder but I would not like to see it with the Raiders pick. If they don't trade down I think a quality five technique is a likely scenario if available, or maybe they get a shot at a pass rusher in the D Ware mould to add to the recent defensive investments. Its difficult to take a guess at the possible names at this point as so much can change by draft time and after months of scrutiny, poking and prodding.
Browns did draft McCoy and it appears most in the organization see a long term answer to QB.
Thanks for the answers everyone. They're really helpful. Hopefully soon enough i'll be making posts worth reading rather than simply posting questions. thanks again
@ DukeWhat a mismatch. 10 minutes gone in the first quarter and its 28-0 Alabama. Ingram has 5 attempts, 119 yards and 2 TDs
The questions help everyone. I've been watching this game since Brett Favre won his first MVP and I still don't understand all of it.

Wrong thread!
Pats have claimed Danny Whitehead - jets mini fan favourite RB and WR, who slots into our Maroney slot.
Briefly, I think that we may be light on the ground, but LoMo was just too inconsistent for Bill B, too many fumbles, and not enough moments of brilliance. Hopefully Tsylor can hold out for most of the games.
I'm excited for the season though, not sure how far we will get, but with a quality running back and a maturing but young D- as well as a promising WR and TE core, and that Thomas Brady chap and Wes Welker, I can see a promising future..

oH come on, until last year, he only had one fumble. Maroney was just a bad fit for Pats. The Pats need a bruising back, in the mold of Dillion. Maroney is more like Reggie Bush type. I bet Denver will get the best out of him.
Regardless, he fumbled the ball too many times, and, as you said, he didn't fit us, as Bill B demands consistency, and probably hates turnovers over anything else.
Good luck to him though, he normally gave his all, and Broncos seem to get the best out of out of favour players.
Day of rivalries today. Utd-Liverpool about to start and then I'll end the day watching the Pats-Jets tear each other apart (I'm hoping for a close game with lots of points, but I can't see it happening).
What can you see happening?
Utd win 3-1.
The Jets-Pats game I think will either be a low scoring game (16-12) or one team will dominate the other and the game will be over by the 3rd quarter.
Based on my limited NFL knowledge, I think the Jets will pose a bigger threat to the young Pats defense than the Bengals did, but I don't think Sanchez is consistent enough (yet) to take advantage of the Pats inexperience and I think Holmes is still suspended for them (?).
On the other side, Brady seems to be back to his high standards, Welker's return and what he did was incredible considering the injury he had (Owen Hargreaves should take note) but the Jets are strong defensively and have very good CBs.
For those reasons, I can't see it being the high-scoring, close game I want. Either one team will dominate, or it'll be a game dominated by defense. Although, if what I've written is complete nonsense, and the game finishes 38-34 I'll be delighted
Just noticed the Manning brothers face off against each other tonight. I hope Eli kicks Peyton's ass...
Somehow I thought to start Jahvid Best in one league but not in the Caf league.
Vikings 0-2 to start the season.
I'm a bit excited for the Monday Night game although I'm afraid the Niners are going to get colon cleaned if they're not careful.

Brady - Welker - TD.
Hernandez, the young TE looks a good prospect. Brady looks far more comfortable throwing this year than he did last year.

Jets are just thugs.
Good drive that by Sanchez.
That taunting rule is stupid, it's like getting a yellow card for celebrating with fans in football. Stupid rules take away the enjoyment of the game.

Randy Moss with a beauty. Brilliant catch.
Hernandez with a big gain, Brady's got a lot of passing options this year: Welker, Moss, Edelman, Hernandez, the other rookie TE and Faulk as well.
Pats up 14-7.

Beautiful by Moss.
I was just thinking Moss has dropped a couple today, then he does that. An incredible catch, could watch it all day
I like the way Revis went straight to the injury table after being Moss'd.
What do you make of Hernandez KeyserSoze?
This is the 1st time I've seen him play and he seems to be more of a WR the way he catches the ball and can get big yards after the catch as well. Do you think he could be a genuine WR if Moss was to leave next season, or will they keep him as a TE option (the way Witten or Dallas Clark are receiving TEs for their teams)?

Vick was amazing...not another QB around that can even dream of making some of the plays he does.
Having said that, it was just the Lions and you can't read too much from a win against them.
at the Cowboys
