Because Schwartz threw the flag, his own fault but that is a harsh penalty I think 15 yards would be enough

Re: Around the NFL Turkey Day edition
There's absolutely no reasonable explanation as to why an automatic review becomes unreviewable if a coach throws a challenge flag. Make it a 15 yard penalty and end it at that. Seen it happen a couple times in much less important situations and was dumbfounded that was an actual rule. Hopefully that play results in a rule change.

This. What a stupid rule. The 15 yard penalty on its own is excessive, but that rule actually makes it possible for clearly wrong calls game changing calls to stand. So dumb.

Replay
Either do it right or just don't do it.
Or just bring back the scab refs.

LMAO. Troy talks about how fast Robinson is for the Skins and how, if he's in, he's going deep, and the guy blows by the defenders deep by a good 10-15 yards running a basic post.

Re: Around the NFL Turkey Day edition
I mentioned it way back in the preseason, but I really wish we would have drafted Alfred Morris. How does a runner like that fall to the 6th **** round? He has great feet, excellent vision, very good patience, and he finishes runs with power. His instincts as a runner overall are very good.
I wish TT could hit on a natural runner like Morris. Instead we waste high picks on guys who just run into our OL like Jackson and Alex "Don't call me Travis Jervey" Green. TT is great at identifying guys who are instinctual "football players" at other positions, but he grades out very poorly in how he evaluates RBs. I really don't know what we look for in our RBs.

What sucks is Alfred Morris was buried on the depth chart! He was like the 4th RB.
I was kind of hoping he'd go to the PS but Shanny loves his RBs..

The first thing I look at, by far, with RBs is their instincts. Morris simply knows how to run. He has vision, feet, and an understanding of pace to set up blocks. Those attributes are severely underrated in the current NFL. I knew Green was **** clueless in his first several carries as a rook in the preseason because he had no idea where to go after getting the ball. He's an elite RB athletically who has no idea how to play the position, and, likely, has no use as a player in the NFl.
TT's inability to evaluate RBs is a large mark against him. MM shredded with the uber-talented Deuce McCallister in NO. MM built an offense with an inaccurate Aaron Brooks at QB that revolved around Deuce that was good enough to lead the NFC in scoring. That is extremely impressive. In GB, MM has had no dynamic RBs to utilize. MM would absolutely murder with a Deuce or Ahman type RB. TT has not been able to provide him anything other than **** at RB.
