I feel good for Jacob Hester, one of the biggest victims of the extreme NFL AA Caste system in recent memory, after getting that TD. The icing on the cake will be seeing Norv Turner and GM A.J. Smith get their well-deserved walking papers.

Hester was in for pass protection on that play much like how the Pats use Woodhead because he is superb at pass protection. It is a double edged sword for sure.

With the league going more to passing the ball will the new role of white RBs become pass protection much like they have been battering rams for black RBs the past 25-30 years.

Yes but we should at least see a minimal increase in touches for White backs, even if they are mostly used for pass protection. It will get too predictable when the White guy is in at tailback, its an obvious passing play for the most part, in the case of Woodhead and Leonard. The occasional draw with Woodhead and a few token carries for Leonard.

It was like that for tight ends. Many of our tight ends who are usually reserved for mostly blocking have seen an increase in the passing game as receivers.


Was Hester's first carry at fullback or tailback?

The black RB for Denver just got run over there - have to wonder if Hester would of done a better job.

Dingledorff just insulted Tebow by saying John Fox needed to cobble together an offense last year and with Manning it's a complete 180. Like others have said on this site why wasn't Tebow allowed to play in a system like Newton or Griffin?

Cousins is playing very well after the initial INT. I want him to play well but also want the Redskins to lose and fall out of the playoff race.

Decker completely burnt that afflete CB Williams for a long TD pass

Williams has been talking trash to Decker all day

Play action to Hester and a bomb to Decker for a TD!

suddenly Broncos are the funnest offense to watch! two white TEs, two white WRs and now, a white runningback and all that run by one of the all-time greatest.

Eric Decker is my favorite receiver in the NFL. complete package.

Regarding Hester - hopefully Manning will use his pull regarding offensive personnel and make them keep Hester. I could see Hester becoming a trustworthy all purpose back under Manning.

Both Hartline and Decker should both surpass 1000 yds easy :mod:

At 3:14 PM EST Hartline needs 9 yards for 1,000...Decker needs 90. Hopefully Brian gets it soon! Might have to wait a week or two for Decker?


Edit 3:16 PM Hartline has reached 1,000...He just caught a 9 yarder

Typical, they turned the Broncos Vs Ravens blowout game coverage off over to the Texans Vs Colts game. Now this game has plenty of white starters but clearly a white team dominating a black team is something that is not allowed to be broadcasted on national T.V

I had to switch streams. The Ravens just got a gift TD.

Don't really care for either team but Matt Ryan is shredding the Giants. Kirk Cousins is also putting up good numbers, he could easily have thrown more TD passes with the way he's hurting this Browns defense.

Freeman 4 ints!!!! :bigsmile:

Regarding Kirk Cousins - his performance IMO is great because it shows he can be just as effective as Griffin in that offense - it should also help cool the Griffin hype. Cousins is showing he can play in this league.

Amendola with a 2 point conversion along with a big catch over the middle earlier in the drive. A true superstar!

JJ Watt getting his 3rd sack of the game - confirming how unblock able he is. Luck has been playing with a paper mache offensive line.
