Catching up on stuff today, just watching Rivera’s presser. Interesting tidbit to me was quote on Kyle Pitts. Stressed emphasis on locating him. “Can play as a TE, U TE, slot or X” then: “You have to treat him as he lines up”. Wonder if we see Jackson/Fuller on Pitts

Seriously. The guy is still disruptive.

On Tuesday Dad had his 1yr biopsy and reconfirmed he is still cancer free ❤️

Besides our family & his medical team, this team, were the only ones to really see Dad during his treatments. This surprise means so much to my dad & yes I’ve been teary eyed since it happened https://t.co/bIQz7nW7re

I kinda feel bad for Danny at this point. OL is paper thin. WR corps banged up. Defense not playing as well as last year (so far).

Part of the reason I would consider drafting a new QB is simply because I think by the time they build a roster for Jones he won't be cheap anymore. https://t.co/sDJYRU5IYm

Which NFL teams have good pass protection?

For some, pass block win rate and PFF grades tell a very different story pic.twitter.com/dKSTUZNTBv
