Did Locker get injured or did they bench him?

I think I'm starting to see Bradford as a bust, the offense has arguably gained a stride without him.

Those two plays were not an indictment of Bradford at all. The first he just completely torched Davis on a go route and was completely wide open, there was no one within 10 yards of him. The second he was wide open on a short crossing route and just simply torched the entire team for a TD.

Those two plays had less to do with the QB play and everything to do with Austin's speed. Any QB in the NFL would have made those throws including Colt McCoy. I don't judge QB's performances on hitting wide open receviers.

The Hurt Locker limped off the field with a foot injury after handing off the ball (non contact injury)

Thanks, Fitzpatrick apparently not doing too bad atm.

Anyone know what the Colts cap situation is like? Are they a threat to land Nicks?

They only have about 80.5M committed towards next year but they also have quite a few FAs to deal with:

P Pat McAfee
LB Pat Angerer
S Larry Asante (RFA)
S Antoine Bethea
RB Ahmad Bradshaw
S Sergio Brown
RB Donald Brown
CB Jalil Brown
LB Kavell Conner (RFA)
CB Vontae Davis

WR Darrius Heyward-Bey
LB Justin Hickman (ERFA)
LB Cam Johnson (ERFA)
OG Jeff Linkenbach
LB Scott Lutrus (RFA)
DE Ricardo Mathews
OG Mike McGlynn
DE Fili Moala
OG Joe Reitz (RFA)

I'm talking about the Rams also looking more competitive than they usually do. Perhaps the team has felt they need to step up, but even in that Seahawk game the Rams were in it right to the very end.

Why isn't Justin Hunter starting for Tennessee?

 

[ChrisPozz]

One should be banned from talking football for a period of time if they use this phrase: "If you can't run for 6 inches on this play, you don't deserve to win the game." ESPECIALLY when you use it at the beginning of the 3rd freaking quarter like Dan Dierdorf just did. Just stupid.

Actually, I've got the impression that the Rams have been tough all season even when losing.

foot injury

 

[ChrisPozz]

No Rams player has more than 2 catches today.

Jim Wyatt:

Jake Locker just came back on field on crutches, his right foot in a boot. Doesn't look good for #Titans

 

[ChrisPozz]

Brian McIntyre:

Seahawks DL Michael Bennett has a $200k incentive tied to sacks. Lost a sack because he hit Matt Ryan a bit too low.

 

[ChrisPozz]

ATL converts a short TD on 4th and 3 from the SEA 12. Way too easy. If the XP is good, they'll be down 16 with 1:02 left in the 3rd.

 

[Dodub]

AJ Green with an amazing catch

Scott Tolzen is the truth, another TD pass

 

[ChrisPozz]

Sad to see a good guy like Tolzien as a Packers QB and actually hanging in there pretty well all things considered.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Forte is one of the prettiest runners I've seen in my lifetime. So underappreciated by most people I come in contact with.

Andrew Luck over 300 passing (322) with almost a whole quarter left. Obviously they've been passing most of the game. 10 rushes for 10 yards for the Colts so far. Andrew Luck is the team's leading rusher at 2 carries for 8 yards.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Jeffery on the BEARS just isn't fair. Dang. What a TD.

 

[ChrisPozz]

3rd down. Ball at the OAK 5 for the Giants, Eli drops back, has a wide open Cruz in the flat about 10 or so yards away from where he dropped back to, and throws too wide for Cruz. Had an easy TD if he could've just hit him accurately. That drive took over 7 minutes long and they have to settle for a FG now.
