Freethinker
Hall of Famer
Vander Esch finished with 14 total tackles and Heath added 10 himself. The few Whites allowed to play defense are constantly amongst the top tacklers.
Kittle’s 45-yard reception on the TE screen was great, what a superb athlete with speed and acceleration much faster than I’ve seen from the vast majority of receivers and defensive backs in a game situation and not just running without pads or opponents in a straight line for 4-5 seconds. And remember Kittle is 6’4 and 250lbs. 399 yards in 5 games so far this season, should hit 1,000 if he stays healthy. Kittle is also an excellent blocker, if he stays reasonably healthy he should have a long and very successful NFL career.
Wow, looks fast and explosive as hell. He hit that hole and was gone faster than many running backs or wide receivers would have been. Super athlete.All five (5) of our guys (Thielen, Ertz, Kelce, Kupp, and Kittle) that were on pace for 1,000 yards had great games yesterday. Hopefully Gronkowski can have some big games over the next few weeks and get back in the mix, too.
Anyway, here’s the play you’re referring to. Kittle’s acceleration looks like a young Travis Kelce...

Also, you forgot 1 other player on pace for a thousand yard season, Jordy Nelson. After 5 games, Nelson has 317 yards. When extrapolated out he’d finish with 1,014 yards.

Wow, that is some serious acceleration. He looks like a running back on that play.
I saw this real time and was impressed with his raw real field speed with gear on. I saw him pulling away from several affelets. If he more room on the sidelines he would have scored.Wow, that is some serious acceleration. He looks like a running back on that play.

Vander Esch is great. Coming out of college, the few honest evaluators out there were comparing him favorably to Brian Urlacher. When the Bills traded back into the 1st round and he was still on the board with a desperate need for a MLB, I was really hoping they would take him. Instead, they took Tremaine Edmunds who looks lost out there at times, even with the mic in his helmet. The Cowboys grabbed him 3 picks later and it was a good move for sure. As usual, the majority of evaluators out there said that Vander Esch was "too tall" to play MLB while touting Edmunds at the same time who is 3/4 of an inch taller !!! Urlacher was the same height as Vander Esch and it certainly didn't have a negative impact on his game/career.
Speaking of defenders Dallas would normally fold like a tent without LB Sean Lee but EBV was outstanding in all facets of the game last night. A star is born And the most underrated player in all of the NFL in my mind is S Jeff Heath. And to think they have been itching to replace him. One thing that will keep me glued to the set is a team with two terrific white defenders.
The Cowboys were my favorite team as a kid growing up. I still believe Staubach is one of the 5 best QB's of all time!I remember Charlie Waters too of course but wasn't too crazy about him. Charlie was not very fast but he could hit and was very savvy and effective. He was smart unlike the idiot black DBs we have to suffer through today.
Can you post the video?Taysom Hill, a QB, just trucked LB Preston Smith... LoL
Of course everybody ages differently but all you have to compare Brees to Vick and the way two aged.Congratulations to Drew Brees! Always humble, a class act and a great role model, he overcame a lack of "ideal height" to become the most prolific passer in NFL history. And he's still playing at an extraordinary level as he nears the age of 40.
Snyder while impulsive and stupid has a huge investment in Smith. Smith should get a good 2 years to make a deep playoff run before there pressure to draft a top flight qb prospect.The Redskins have such a comical collection of "talent" at the skill positions. Once I saw Michael Floyd on the field for them I though Go Saints. Won't surprise me to see Snyder draft a black quarterback again next year. The Redskins have been one of the blackest teams in the league since I started following football and they have had no success in 26 years.
