Oh hey, I forgot I vaguely gave a shit about this guy. Anything new I should be giving a shit about in regards to him?

I just watched the 49ers/Cowboys game and Hayne was electric in the open field. That over the shoulder catch was ridiculous. I don't see how he doesn't make the team and I guess I won't be fast-forwarding the punt returns this year.
Bowman looked fierce in the few plays he was in this week. If he comes back as his old self the defense is going to be pretty solid I think. The line has looked good and the safeties are both solid. Only question will be the corners and if somebody can pressure the QB in Aldon Smith's spot. The Offense I'm less confident in but Carlos Hyde has looked great carrying the ball in preseason so I think it will mostly come down to whether Kaepernick gets better or worse this year.

And all three returns last game were longer than any return in the 2014 season for 49'ers...but preseason and all

NFL Head Coach on Jay Gruden Leaving RG3 in Game: | Bleacher Report
NFL Head Coach on Jay Gruden Leaving RG3 in Game: | Bleacher Report
Meh seems like a non-story. RG3 needs work and game reps. Gruden was giving him work and game reps. He needs to know how to play after getting hit. If RG3 is such a glassy nancy that he requires to get taken out of the game after getting hit what will Gruden do in a real game? It isn't like RG3's tendons and skeleton will just fuse into steel in the next 2 preseason games.
They're special teams gifs from preseason. Special teams is a complete clusterfuck in pre season because it is full of the 60-90th position players.

That article seems to blame Gruden for all that is wrong with Griffin, when most of it was there before he got there. And then its only solution is to just get rid of RGKnee. Which is something he doesn't have the power to do. And the Organization isn't going to get rid of him either as the owner is in love with him. Which is where the real problem begins/ends.

I agree with this as well. No way should RGKnee have started that playoff game against the Hawks. I don't care what that kid said. If he doesn't blow out his knee in that game, maybe his first off season is different and he realizes the talent he obviously has. However maybe not, there is enough published about him being super egotistical so he may not have decided he needed to learn things.

I suspect he was asking about the discussion still being split between this thread and the offseason thread and not about any thread that never existed. Since there isn't an actual preseason thread (or any need for one), I imagine NFL talk will remain split between the two threads until the season starts.
