    yea. alotta the talkin heads on tv stay trying to push this "Marriota will be elite" narrative. but I jus don't see it. He played in a gimmick offense in college. and he hasn't overly impressed since coming into the league. he's iight, nothing more imo.

    I get the sense ppl on TV pull for him and Teddy Bridgewater cuz they are "nice guys" irl

    Another issue with the offense, is it's virtually built around the run game. Everyone knows Murlarkey loves running heavy formations. Well the big problem with that this season is the o-line has regressed and the running game has been ineffective. Which constantly puts us in 3rd and long situations. Our success primarily comes off of good protection, and running the ball effectively which sets up the play action pass. I'm not very confident mariota can overcome those 2 things when theyre not working. Especially against good teams

    Jerry Jones to Roger Goodell: 'I'm Gonna Come After You with Everything I Have'

    Following the announcement of Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott's six-game suspension in August, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones reportedly vowed to get back at NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

    According to ESPN's Don Van Natta Jr. and Seth Wickersham, Jones said the following to Goodell during a conference call: "I'm gonna come after you with everything I have."

    Jones reportedly then made mention of the New England Patriots' Deflategate situation and added, "If you think [Patriots owner] Bob Kraft came after you hard, Bob Kraft is a p---y compared to what I'm going to do."

    Jones has publicly fought against a contract extension for Goodell and threatened to sue the NFL if the extension were pushed through.

    Per Ken Belson of the New York Times, NFL owners rejected Jones' request for a special meeting to discuss the Goodell situation.

    On Sunday, Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio reported that some NFL owners have discussed the possibility of threatening to force Jones to forfeit the Cowboys franchise due to "conduct detrimental to the welfare of the League or professional football."

    Jones went on to call that idea "laughable" and "ridiculous" during an interview with 105.3 The Fan (h/t Roy White III of Shan and RJ).

    Elliott served the first game of his six-game suspension last week after an NFL investigation determined there was enough evidence to conclude he physically assaulted then-girlfriend Tiffany Thompson last year.

    The 2016 rushing champion is eligible to return in Week 16. The Cowboys are currently 5-4, and they would not be a playoff team if the season ended today.

    Btw. Giants should bench Janoris Jenkins indefinitely after that no effort performance last week. How the Steelers handled Martavis Bryant, Tomlin handled that ? like a str8 up G.
    If he does that it sends a direct message to the locker room, it seems some players are actually still rallying behind him and this is a perfect time to let mothafuckad know what time it is

    Report: NFL eyes Winston in groping allegation

    The NFL is investigating an allegation that Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston groped a female Uber driver in March 2016, according to a report by BuzzFeed News.

    The Buccaneers say they are aware of an allegation against Winston but did not provide specifics.

    Buccaneers coach Dirk Koetter said at his availability Friday he was "just finding out" about the allegation and said he expects the team to release a statement later in the day.

    BuzzFeed News viewed a letter it said was sent from league executive Lisa Friel to the Uber driver.

    "The League has been informed that you may have been the victim of such a violation perpetrated by Tampa Bay Buccaneers player Jameis Winston," Friel wrote in the letter. "The league takes allegations of this nature very seriously and has opened an investigation into this matter."

    The incident allegedly occurred in Scottsdale, Arizona, in March 2016. Winston's representative Russ Spielman denied the allegations in a statement to BuzzFeed News.

    "We categorically deny this allegation," Spielman said. "It is our understanding the uber driver was unable to identify the specific individual who allegedly touched this driver inappropriately. The only reason his name is being dragged in to this is that his uber account was used to call the ride."

    Hopefully it isn't true.
