Sam Bradford's Philly Debut

[Angry Ram]

For all the shit the Rams took this whole week, the Ravens are playing even worse. It's the effing preseason. Also eff the Ravens.

He is going to have a huge year if he stays on the field.

I guess we'll see, my personal feeling is that he won't be on the field for long. Just watching one drive tonight confirms it a little for me.

That bottom video is definitely dirty, IMO. You couldn't go any lower. WTF?

 

[Dieter the Brock]

Done with this for a lifetime..

 

[Killgasm]

Anybody else feels like Bradford could be healthier if he just workout his legs for once?

 

[Akrasian]

Sam didn't get hurt, that's a success all by itself for the Rams.

Fixed it for you.

Saw that on cam. He was talking to a trainer. I imagine it was about the hit.

Honestly could care less, but Suggs should be fined hard for that. It would be different if it was a rookie in the 3rd quarter trying to make the team, but that is inexcusable for a vet player.

Could be.
Doing the option hand off thing is sort of funny with a QB that you would not have run. I think he is a good fit for the passing part of their offense.

I love Sam B. I'll be watching and rooting for him.

I would have thought that they would have given Bradford more than one series... I know it's been a long time but that doesn't seem like enough to do anything for anybody...The one series with Foles last week was the same thing...I'd like to see Foles for a quarter tomorrow...

I don't want to start a seperate thread but T. Brady: 2/5 for 13 yds.
J. Garoppolo: 5/5 for 43 yds.

 

[PowayRamFan]

My feeling exactly. Although it really hurts sometimes (Isaac Bruce, Jack Reynolds, Kurt Warner, etc.) once they're gone they're the enemy.

His balls weren't... perfect.

Survived the first drive. To be honest I don't miss holding my breath every time Bradford took a shot. At any moment the anticipation of losing your quarterback (especially a fragile one) sort of takes away attention of other players in the game.

"Exactly Right"

Sam Bradford takes some shots in his Eagles debut
Posted by Darin Gantt on August 22, 2015

The Eagles finally got a look at the quarterback they’re counting on saving them. No, not Tim Tebow, the other one.

But what they saw out of Sam Bradford in his first game back from his twin torn ACLs still had them holding their breath.

Bradford took several hard shots from the Ravens on his opening drive, with linebacker Terrell Suggs drawing a penalty after diving at his legs, and then defensive lineman Brandon Williams pounding him into the ground.

But Bradford led a crisp touchdown drive also, an 11-play, 84-yard march capped by aRyan Mathews touchdown run. He completed 3-of-5 passes, but taking so many shots so early in his comeback will create a worry.

That’s probably why Mark Sanchez took the field for the second possession, making it a short night for Bradford.
--------
Block better, get rid of the ball sooner!
-------
If you think Suggs dove at his legs, you need your eyes checked. 100% legal play.
-------
That shot Suggs gave was as dirty as they come. He had no business hitting him so low except to try to hurt Bradford. Hope he gets a heavy fine. And Suggs and Hairball both trying to argue that play action allows him to be hit, Bull, Bradford was just standing there before he was hit. He didn’t move at all. Dirty Baltimore at it’s finest (lowest).
--------
Foles looked good, Bradford looked good.

It’s obviously a really small sample size, but this looks encouraging for both sides
--------
It seemed to me like on most of the snaps he was feeling no pressure at all and could just stand tall in the pocket. Bradford looked good but to me Chip Kelly just makes any qb look good
-------
To the whiners…Suggs’ hit was above the knees on a read option. The wussification of the NFL continues.
--------
Honestly when the Eagles made the trade (I’m a redskins fan by the way), I thought the only issue with it for Philly was Sam’s contract. Other than that, I always loved Bradford. He’s better than Foles in my opinion, but he’s injury prone. If healthy, he’s a very underrated QB in my book. I feel he will be great if healthy for the Eagles

 

[Mackeyser]

Initial grab on second shot is arm grabbing mid-thigh and Suggs wrapping him up at the knees. He didn't hit him at the knees. The hit came mid-thigh and was mitigated by Bradford's movement.

I didn't see anything dirty about it at all. It certainly wasn't like the Rodney Harrison hit...

SB is no longer a Ram, all i want is him to last long enough to get our draft picks
train

And does anyone really believe that will happen? I'm asking for a friend.

Unfortunately (for your friend), not many.
