    These are the best two angles I could find on that play...could be Ekkie accidentally tripped Bulaga...Equiv, did you hear a report on this somewhere?

      Roo, I believe Heat is suggesting Bulaga, like Justin Jackson, is a talented player but never seems to able to stay on the field.
      Shame, as both are good football players.

        On the bright side, at least Bulaga helped convince Lindsley to sign with us...

              Expecting Speero Dedes to notice ANYTHING of consequence on a football field is useless. Guy is the worst play by play dude on the network. Constantly mispronouncing names, missing plays altogether, etc.....doesn't appear to understand the nuances of professional football.
              How he keeps his job is a mystery to me???

                  Nothing specific jumps out to me. Maybe Denver? Only 1 week, game situations will cause week to week variance.

                    I think his unique voice is the only thing that keeps him in the booth

                      I've been reviewing some of the analytics, and I found the following interesting:
                      1. Herbert's QBR was only 61.1 for this game. By comparison, Tyrod's was 76.2. Herbert's interception and fumble (yes, called fumble, as I don't think it was a fumble) certainly didn't help. But I also look at that as proof that there is room for Herbert to improve some of his reads -- he did have Ekeler wide open and should have gone there a few times -- and improve more. He did spin it well, don't get me wrong, but he can be better.
                      2. Slater's PFF grade was 73ish; six points lower than Sewell. At first I scoffed, but then watching the game again, Slater did make some mistakes and areas where he needs to improve. He was aided by Herbert reading and releasing the ball quickly. I also thought this showed me that Sewell -- despite being worked by Nick Bosa -- did well overall and likely remains the best LT prospect from this last draft.
                      3. Derwin's PFF grade was 90. Not a surprise.

                        You might be right.
                        Other than his voice, he brings nothing to the table. Yet, he seems to always be on our broadcasts! Maybe if we become a better team, the network will offer up better announcers?

                          Like a majority of current network booth guys, Dedes has taken it upon himself to be a superfan cheerleader for BOTH teams.

                          It gets old, fast. It's a constant stream of gushing superlatives, and the same recycled soundbytes of info: "The former Day One draft pick who's struggled stay healthy! Oh, my this just shows you what he's capable of when he's not in am ambulance!" Yada yada.
