“So, just by the nature of how the game went, I didn’t think we would be able to push it to 65 or 70. “It was an interesting game because I think he played in the teens in the first half, and normally you’d like your play count to be a little higher,” Raiders coach Josh McDaniels said. Jacobs averaged 48 snaps per game last season when he led the league in touches (393), yards from scrimmage (2,053) and rushing yards (1,653). It’s going to come with me, man, working at practice and trying to get that back with not being here in the offseason.” Plays that I knew I could have made or reads that I was kind of a little late on. It was a few plays where I felt like I tripped up a little bit. Not only that, man, I’ve got to knock the rust off, too. “We had a lot of runs that was really close ,” Jacobs said, via Paul Gutierrez of ESPN. He added two catches for 23 yards and had the block that sprung Jimmy Garoppolo on an 8-yard scramble that iced the win. So, it was not surprising that the All-Pro rushed for only 48 yards on 19 carries, with his 2.5 yards per carry average the third-lowest of his career.

I know he was very excited about this chapter in his life, and I was looking forward to seeing him this weekend.” I have a tremendous amount of love for him. “Him and I have been through a lot together. “It’s great to compete against people you care about,” McCarthy said. Rodgers and the Packers beat McCarthy’s Cowboys 31-28 in Green Bay last season. McCarthy said he reached out to Rodgers after the quarterback’s season-ending injury. McCarthy and Rodgers spent 13 seasons together in Green Bay, winning a Super Bowl. “That’s what I was hoping was going to happen. “He came out at halftime and threw three touchdowns and won the game and played the rest of the year,” McCarthy said. The Packers trailed 20-0 when Rodgers returned in the second half to deliver a stunning 24-23 win. It sent him into the training room on a cart. In that season-opening game against the Bears five years ago, a hit by Khalil Mack injured Rodgers’ knee. He went in, and they told me on the headset he was done for the year. “It kinda reminded me of a play in 2018 against the Bears early in the game. “You were hoping it wasn’t serious,” McCarthy said. It happened on the fourth play of his Jets debut, ending Rodgers’ season. McCarthy was in his office watching the Jets-Bills on Monday night, scouting his team’s next opponent, when Rodgers tore his left Achilles. “ That’s only natural to want to play against a great player,” McCarthy said, via Nick Harris of the team website.

It is what it is.Aaron Rodgers has ripped out the hearts of Cowboys fans in his 18 seasons, with an 8-2 record against America’s Team. I have no intention of continuing this stupid little game and stand by my original post. Just a quick skim of the forum will identify them as they are obvious. I am embarrassed to have fallen to the level of even trying to communicate with them.

But at the age of 88 i have learned that the biggest problem is A large percentage of this fan base. Hell i have seen and lived through all the terrible and uplifting times with this program. Mainly that I really don't have remorse with the UF program. ![]() It then evolved into a childish back and forth which made some things evident. However, I was not remotely prepared for the vitriol and ********* responses i received. I expected some resistance and negative feed-back as a Gator lover of seven decades offering criticism of the new wonderkind, Billy Napier.
