You beat me by about 30 seconds. Good start with a 9 yard rush being his longest so far.
On the Eagles Side, Devon Allen had a 73 yard kickoff return. He has 4 returns for 127 yards!

If he had a nice tan the eagles dwf’s would be calling in to sports radio screaming about how they “need to get that speed on the field more”

Devon Allen is the fastest guy in the league. I believe Andy Isabella and Tyreek Hill are right behind him.

Gardner Minshew is clearly a better QB than Richardson. For anyone watching this game it should be obvious and it really is a joke that Richardson was gifted the starting job early in the preseason based on nothing. At only 27, Minshew should be viewed as a viable starter, yet instead he’s only allowed to be a backup in this corrupt league.
If the competition was fair, he’d be starting the season and Richardson would be holding a clipboard, which he desperately needs. Instead he’ll get tossed in and look like a headless chicken running around. I expect a number of games where he doesn’t top 100 yards, similar to Fields last year. But don’t expect the DWFs to care. They’ll be citing his fantasy stats as evidence of his talents, which will get padded with 15 rushes a game….

Yes 100 percent. Even the announcers said if the preseason determined the starter Minshew would win hands down. Then they backtracked
and said you have to just play the rookie. No comparison between these two quarterbacks. Richardson will improve in time but he will most
likely only be an average passing qb. He can run but his accuracy has always been questionable for the most part. Yet he is declared the man.
Crazy upside down clown world we live in where the better qualified applicant suffers to the less talented one.

And then folks wonder why the league is so watered down and frankly in exciting. Because the product sucks. And the reason it sucks is because of these horrible black quarterbacks being forced on the public.

Jake Funk looks more explosive than the other running backs in my opinion. If he only got more chances he would break
off some really big runs. He had 5 rushes for 23 yards tonight and had the best ypc. of any of the Colts running backs. In a fair
world he would move up the depth charts. Hopefully he has shown enough to make the roster. Fingers crossed as this kid
when healthy is just so explosive and a very talented running back.

Agreed with you guys. Hope Funk has done enough to make the squad, especially now that Taylor is likely gone.
The leading tackler for both teams were White linebackers. For the Eagles Ben VanSumeren (Michigan St) had 17 tackles! The Colts were lead by Liam Anderson (Holy Cross) with 10 tackles. Hopefully both of these guys can secure a roster spot.

Where are you guys going to see a complete listing of game stats? I'm looking at NFL.com's stats for the Steelers Falcons game and qb stats aren't shown at all. The Falcons' stats start at "Receiving" so nobody rushed and nobody played quarterback. Steelers had some rushers and receivers but again, no one played qb. What gives here? It's like this for all their games now. NFL.com's site is one of the worst I go to.
VanSumeren is the shining example of the Caste system. 4.4. 40/ 42 inch vertical, 29 bench reps.Thus he is super athletic and can actually play the game as per his contributions.. But goes undrafted and is competing for a practice squad spot.
There is nothing other than his race that has him in this predicament..

Right and they can’t even use the small school excuse for him… he went to Michigan State.
The simple fact is that Kenyon Drake gets the opportunities because he is black while Jake Funk gets jerked around because he is white. Similar skill sets, similar size and athletic ability. funk is younger (cheaper) but unfortunately lacks the requisite tan.

That’s really insane. Didn’t realize he was that much of an athletic freak. Guess going to a Big 10 program and scoring in the top percentile athletically means nothing….if you are White.
The Eagles struck gold with Blankenship so hopefully they are smart enough to do the same with VanSumeren.

Herbie couldn't stop gushing about Richardson's athleticism but I heard zero mention of Van Sumeren's elite athleticism during the broadcast last night. He was just being treated as a fringe roster/bubble guy. I'd even argue that was the case with McKee who has out performed Richardson in the preseason. Herbie kept pushing the narrative that all McKee was doing is fighting for a roster spot yet at the same time when seeing Richardson on the field making more mistakes/errant throws than McKee he just continues to talk him up. The double speak of the caste system is so apparent to anyone with a rational brain that asks basic questions.
Same with Dan Chisena, who caught a pass for the Steelers late in the game last night. It was mentioned that he was the Pennsylvania state champion in the 100, 200 and 4x100 relay in high school who played for Penn State. They even showed a picture of him with his three black teammates from the relay team, and he towered over them. And with that speed we were told he's 6'3", a fantastic combination of size and speed. But he wasn't drafted and had been with the Vikings for three seasons and another team before landing on the far fringes of the Steelers.
So we got that basic info but nothing beyond that. Why hadn't he played during a regular season? Is he too stupid to learn a playbook? He was underused at Penn State but that's predictable given who the head coach is. It was just left dangling as it always is when we are told by broadcasters that a really good White player had been a walk-on, as Chisena unsurprisingly was. You only get very basic info (if that), but the dots are never connected, the rarely-varying pattern is never identified.

Calvin Munson with an int of the magical Willis
Calvin Munson all over the field for the Patriots, just intercepted a pass for the third straight preseason game. He's currently third on the depth chart, wouldn't be surprising if The Genius cuts him.

He's playing very well - he had a nice tackle for loss earlier too. Was a tackling machine at San Diego State. Former Navy LB Diego Fagot out on the field as well.

I wonder if WR Chase Cota did enough last night and, over the course of preseason, to secure a spot with the Lions. I’ve checked a few roster predictions. 1 had him making it and the other did not.

Objectively Cota has done enough to make the team. He's big, strong, fast and was productive in the preseason. We all know how that works out historically for White players though.

Looks like Zander Horvath has been cemented into the fullback position. He was blocking for a black rookie RB last night from North Dakota that was not even as productive as Horvath at Purdue. Another obvious case of the caste system in action and anti-White discrimination.
