Don’t Call Jalen Hurts “Dak Prescott” Challenge: Difficulty Level (for Mike Tirico only): Impossible

What a drive for Jihaad Campbell. The PBU and then ripping at the ball to help force the fumble. Kid is #nice

All personal fouls should be reviewed. Refs so scared to not make the call on hits nowadays.

Those are the plays I’m not sure what the defender is supposed to do. I can’t accept that the answer is “don’t try to hit the receiver” like it’s football, just because the guy is diving and low to the ground doesn’t mean you can no longer get it. It’s unfair and I don’t know the answer.

I wish Jalen Carter would’ve told me he was gonna spit on Dak ahead of time. Would’ve changed pretty much all of my beliefs about this game and this Cowboys rushing attack.

#Raiders WR Amari Cooper has decided to retire, per source. NFL Network was first to report. That leaves the team with just 4 WRs on the roster: Jakobi Meyers, Dont'e Thornton, Tre Tucker and Jack Bech. They have Alex Bachman, Shedrick Jackson and Justin Shorter on the PS.

Drew Allar and his QB coach have been in the lab. Josh Allen is a right-foot-forward shotgun guy, but the wide stance helps with quick game. Allar looked significantly better throwing to the boundaries this week. So excited to see what he does against the best competition this year.

I understand what you’re saying haha I am not a Michigan fan though so you can take away the bias they possess and consider that. Or you don’t have to that’s okay haha but the kid is nuts!

No worries! It’s a strange rule to be honest. All QBs should play at least two full years before hitting the NFL just from “see it” perspective.
Christian Williams (@cwilliams.thedevyroyale.com) reply parent
Well he couldn’t do that sadly haha have to be three years out of school to declare. But I think a full season of this will have him generally considered a better NFL prospect than Manning.
Christian Williams (@cwilliams.thedevyroyale.com) reply parent
Well his game and Milton’s are nothing alike, and also nothing like Patrick Mahomes haha but this is probably the best freshman starting debut I’ve ever seen, regardless of team🤷🏼♂️

This Bryce Underwood (QB - Michigan) film is fucking insane. Immediate superstar.
Christian Williams (@cwilliams.thedevyroyale.com)
Looks like Ryan Williams got tired of Ty Simpson reading the defense incorrectly, so he decided to point out where the ball was supposed to go as he carried the DB out of the way. Incredibly funny stuff.
Christian Williams (@cwilliams.thedevyroyale.com)
Ty. Buddy.
Christian Williams (@cwilliams.thedevyroyale.com) reply parent
I generally agree, but there were some concerning mechanical things in there that led to the inaccurate stuff through the first three quarters. Not even jittery all the time, but rather so anti-jitter that I think he lost some velocity on a lot of throws because of his stationary feet.
Christian Williams (@cwilliams.thedevyroyale.com) reply parent
3. He has easily the strongest arm in the last few classes. So much zip. Still, there’s a layered touch throw on the Nevada film that’s absolutely gorgeous. 4. This Penn State WR group is significantly better than last year. Could be the difference in big games. Good debut for QB1.
Christian Williams (@cwilliams.thedevyroyale.com)
Quick thoughts on the Drew Allar game vs: Nevada: 1. He has complete command of the offense. He’s setting protections, throwing with anticipation, and his footwork is so much better. 2. He threw two balls inaccurately. One was just not being on the same page as his WR, the other was anticipatory.

Would you like me to copy and paste the message and you can reread it? Donald Trump is positioning to end free elections. Vance won’t be elected if he’s the president when the currently scheduled free election takes place in a few years. Trump will retain office if he’s the president. Make sense?

I’m aware. If Trump is still in office, the next US presidential election likely does not exist. So relatively speaking, Vance wouldn’t be in office for long.

Dani Dennis-Sutton (EDGE - Penn State) is a game-wrecker. Two forced fumbles — one with a punch, one with a strip — and multiple pocket collapses. Really happy to see he’s explosive and significantly improved.
Christian Williams (@cwilliams.thedevyroyale.com)
Drew Allar’s mastery of the offense is allowing the Nittany Lions to play with more pace. That pace should make them extremely dangerous against the top teams. Really cool development.

One of my problems with Arch as a recruit was the lack of juice in his arm. All the recruiting sites said otherwise, and they watched more than me. Idk man. Feeling a little Tua here.

Arch is turning down open receivers underneath regularly. It’s like the polar opposite of Quinn Ewers last year lol
Christian Williams (@cwilliams.thedevyroyale.com)
Arch is struggling. His mechanics on short and intermediate throws are all goofy compared to last year. He’s making poor decisions. His head is spinning.
