It's the first preseason game of the year, the only people that give a shit about preseason week 1 only care because they want to see the depth/rookies hoping they show promise. They could be going against the Jags week 1 nothing would change, the only game that holds any actual meaning is week 3 in preseason.
There are sites like Football Outsiders and Pro Football Focus that grade tackles for everything from sacks, run blocking efficiency, pass blocking efficiency, penalties (holding, false starts) etc. Tyron grades at elite level in both pass and run blocking, and doesn't commit penalties. He's also only 23, and has yet to reach his prime - which means he can get even better.
As for those better than him at this time, I'd say Joe Thomas and Jason Peters. He's right in the mix with Joe Staley and Trent Williams. But again, he's much younger than all of these players.

"And that type of confidence with the kind of feeling they have about this offense, and what coach [Marc] Trestman is doing, is just incredible. With the diversity of your offense, you feel good about your opportunities."
Criticized in the past for surliness, heated on-field exchanges with teammates and coaches, not to mention the perception he's aloof, Cutler has turned heads at training camp for what he's done on the field as a passer while also receiving praise for becoming more of a leader off the field.
Quarterbacks coach Matt Cavanaugh recently said Cutler "does things that will never, ever get reported, and you just say, 'Wow, that's unselfish.'"
What's different about Cutler?
"Everything," Marshall said. "It's night and day. He's a totally different person. He's a totally different athlete. He's the first one in the building and that sucks because I've tried to be the first one in the building. He's there at like 5 a.m. He lives it. I think he has great balance in his life now with his personal stuff. I won't go there. He hates when people go there."

I'm glad Cutler is finally "getting it" on year 9 of his career! Gee golly, the Bears might be a force to be reckoned with now.

The rumor going around, at least locally, was that she struck out at him in the elevator and he pushed her away, but by doing so, she fell into the handrail (or whatever you call those wood beams) of the elevator and fell unconscious.
I really don't care, because unless I see the "other tape", the stated to facts point otherwise.
BTW he will be addressing the media after practice today. That should be a shit show.

I think people are outraged over how the whole thing was handled just as much. Interviewing her with him and making her apologize in public. Just the whole thing seems custom built to piss people off. Not sure they could have done a better job of it if they tried.
Yeah I'm kind of surprised that they went with the victim blaming approach. If it really is as harmless as he pushed her, she tripped over her giant heels and knocked herself out then it isn't quite as malicious as most would think. If he closed his fist there is really no excuse, though.

Since they're running the Jay Gruden offense depends on if they can convert 3rd and 6 after his run, run, pass playbook
