    These guys are all amped trying to make an impression. I think you're right. Much less penalties and they're letting them play and hit.

    All in all not bad at all

    I'm watching tomorrow. Buddy told me the games are getting praise overall on the level of play. Thought is see what you guys thought seems positive here too.

    Honestly, still feeling hurt by the playoff loss but offseason is just too long without football. Also, always felt the league needed a better system for practice squad/preseason guys to develop get seen outside of preseason on 1 team. Glad they dropped some of the stupidity of the original XFL that turned off football people in favor of the wrestling crowd. Looking forward to tomorrow's games

    Phillip Walker QB Temple 5112 214 100.0 0.1 55.8 Walker 5112 214 4.74 2.72 1.56 4.40 6.90 29.5 9.25

    Houston's QB Phillip / PJ Walker is crushing it. Note that 1.56 10 split and the 6.90 3 cone. Those are Lamar-like numbers, especially that 1.56 10 split.

    5'11 and 214 is solidly built. That 4.74 40 isn't particularly good. We don't know what Lamar's numbers are. What nfl next gen stats said about Lamar is that he was the fastest runner in the NFL - overall, not just QB, when crossing the line of scrimmage. That tells me that it's the 10 split that Lamar has that's very high. Most QBs don't have a 10 split as good as Walker's 1.56. We don't know what Lamar's is but we can assume very high. A quick look down the 10 split column on the sparq page has very few as good as Walker or better.

    Zach Conque, who had a 1.55, was a TE convert for a bit, 2017
    Kyle Sloter 1.54 2017
    Matt Shiltz 1.53 2016
    Tyler Murphy 1.51 2015
    Garrett Safron 1.53 2015
    Terrance Broadway 1.56 2015
    Rudy Johnson 1.51 2015

    I don't get into college because I don't the time for that while the NFL is on. This is perfect because there's nothing competing. Mid season NBA and Hockey? Two sports I only watch in the playoffs.

    XFL Draws Small But Enthusiastic Crowds At First Two Games :

    https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...rst-two-games/

    "However, attendance was small: DC drew 17,163 fans to Audi Field and Houston drew an announced crowd of 17,815 to TDECU Stadium."

    I don't think that's so bad considering... Bc

    Audi field where DC plays only holds 20,000 so that's a very good crowd. These soccer stadiums sound perfect for the XFL. The NY team is going to play in MetLife stadium later today. I don't even like watching the Jets or Giants there. It's not going to be fun for this.

    Re: XFL

    I liked what I saw
    good to see June Jones on the sideline again
    glad to see football in St Louis
    some cool uniforms

    wonder if Birmingham and San Antonio will get teams? seems like every non-NFL operation (WFL, USFL, WLAF) goes there.

    I liked it too.
    It's fast, they take chances, very few penalties. I love the kickoffs and the onside kick was LIT.

    Also like that the're mic'd up - you can hear coaches call the play, QBs getting folks set. Even mic'd up the refs who were reviewing a play and you can hear their logic. Good product so far
