    i agree; Conner is the guy. They will mix in Snell but Conner is carrying the rock most of the time and Tomlin has reiterated that he's the guy. That's a closed subject.

      Was going to use the same two examples, the NFL is just tough.

        Jags are much better than I imagined as well. This first half of the season is going to be unpredictable IMO. Dallas was down big and I chalked it up as a loss and then I found out they actually won?

        This season is going to be crazy.

          I think it's going to be Nov/Dec until we know what we've got here. Guys are still trying to get their legs and stamina.

          It's also really weird with no home field advantage without fans. That's going to make the playoff unpredictable down the line too imho.

            Lots of room for improvement. Let’s hope they do because everyone in our division looks better than the Broncos.
            I'm not too worried about Snells ability to hold on to the ball. In college he had a fumble every 122 carries. 6 career with 4 lost. Considering how many times he had the rock in his hands he's known for his ability to hold onto the ball.
            Trolls are people too.

              I sure hope so! I think NFL defenses are really emphasizing take-away's, so offenses need to really focus on security.

                I think he will correct the problem. I'm not too worried about him in this regard.

                  Did anyone get a better view of Snell's fumble? Didn't see much on live TV. Was he hit from behind?

                    Watt is basically held on every play. Similar to the days the rules changed so that OTs could clothesline James Harrison. No one could stop him so the refs look the other way - same now with Watt.

                      By the way...canned noise. I keep hearing that the players can hear the crowd noise (al Michael's said there was noise in seattle last night) yet yesterday Gannon and Feely were saying how quiet it is and that everyone can hear the snap designation in the huddle and guys talking on the bench. So which is it?
