    Arian Foster should be good if they concentrate on him, he's got an interesting Twitter account anyway. Makes a change from all the "thank Jesus for the new day" types I've unfollowed over the last couple of years.

    Stay well clear of RGIII on Twitter then if you want to avoid the 'Praise Jesus' tweets. He never stops.

    With the way his career is going, you'd think he'd start believing Jesus hates him.

    Looks like it will be the Texans this year lads, per John McClain on Twitter.

    Yeah I unfollowed him a good while back. Matt Forte and Alshon Jeffery are another two. If boring the balls off me was a competitive sport they'd be first round draft picks.

    Snore fest.

    To be fair, some of the time it's the rookies trying to make the team that make the show so hopefully they'll have some characters that make the show interesting. The Atlanta rookies they focused on last year were awful.

    Ryan Mallett will be hundreds of times more interesting than Matt Ryan. I actually think this could be a decent series. Mallett, Watt, Foster, Clowney and the best CB in this draft class imo Kevin Johnson. Not too bad at all.

    Forgot Vince Wilfork had gone there too so add him to the list...

    Head coach and QB tend to be the difference between whether its boring or not each year. I definitely don't see Bill O'Brien and Ryan Mallett making it a snore fest personality wise.

    speaking of the texans whats the story with chocolate irish is he fully healthy or still coming back from it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,017 ✭✭✭Leslie91


    I look forward to seeing Jaelen Strong, the rookie WR who I've heard can be a stud and he was 'only' a 3rd rounder.

    Any thoughts if Hoyer or Mallett will win the starters job?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,510 ✭✭✭Hazys


    Surely Hoyer.

    Mallett has done nothing to warrant any type of consideration as a starting NFL QB.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,976 ✭✭✭Morrison J


    I'd be pretty confident it'll be Mallett. Bill O'Brien obviously likes him enough from their days in New England. He's flashed some good stuff in limited starts too. You know you're getting mediocrity with Hoyer

    This started last night, can't find any links yet though. There were always slow to come out last year......

    Probably less interest due to it being so bad last few years and low expectations again this year,


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 1,651 ✭✭✭BaronVon


    Yeah, it's been going downhill the last few years, but I'm optimistic this year........:cool:

    Looks like notre dame are going to have one could be interesting to see the difference betweent nfl and NCAA


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,710 ✭✭✭✭Paully D


    Pound-for-pound, the Texans are arguably the most boring team in the league IMO. I'll watch it later but don't have any great expectations to be honest.

    Just that I'll be working in nd this year, hopefully going to a couple of games, would be cool to have the show to feel a bit more engaged with it all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,710 ✭✭✭✭Paully D


    Kevin Johnson's sister. Sweet Jesus. :eek:

    J.J. Watt is awesome.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,976 ✭✭✭Morrison J


    JJ Watt might be the most annoying man to ever appear on the show.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,012 ✭✭✭BizzyC


    It's clear that Vince is probably the only guy with enough personality to take up significant screen time off the field.

    On the field, just follow Watt, everything he does is better than guessing which receiver will suck less...

    I know. I hate extremely driven people too. They make me feel lazy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy


    JJ Watt good.

    Everything else. Bad.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,687 ✭✭✭✭jack presley


    How did the scrap with the Redskins look like? I presume only Houston's players were miked so it'll only their side given.

    Think lifting tyres while singing 'Remember the Name' might be overdoing the tough guy cliché just a tad.
