  1. Amazing to think about. —————————— Just keeping knocking on the door boys, once that first goal comes you’ll get to kick the door in. Pressure is good up top and midfield is controlling well. We’re gonna win.
  2. We’re shooting 38%, they’re shooting 68%… that can’t continue. Only question is if we dug ourselves a hole too big to crawl out of. Sadly, the trademark of RT’s teams in his tenure have been reliably shitty performances in 1H.
  3. Baseball is a great sport in that teams find themselves as the season goes on. The leaders in May in MLB mean nothing. This team is talented and we should be optimistic about what’s coming. In the meantime, we’ve taken the series and are going for the icing, I’ve got baseball and golf on dual stream and life is very bueno. Hook em
  4. App watching was good during week, broadcast on CW has been solid especially when you notice they don’t have some stuffy old white guy’s agenda to push constantly, golf is good, and the lack of bombardment of dickpill/investment bank/Mercedes/BMW commercials is a huge benefit I did not see coming. Team over individual thing I can’t say does anything for me and clearly PGA has deeper pool to pull from, but I just like having golf on TV in general so I’m not going to get my panties in a bunch like I see other grown fucking men doing…
  5. I would imagine the NFL scouting reports on this subject have a paragraph about how the “poor super talented black workhorse tryna buy his momma a crib” or the “white coaches son QB from suburbia” are myths and about how it’s best to take players based on how good they are at football instead…
  6. Trying to summarize a players potential skill based on their upbringing/background is ridiculous. By this philosophy, Prime would pass on Deshaun Watson, Lamar Jackson, and Vince Young at QB, and would pass on Lawrence Taylor, Aaron Donald, and JJ Watt/TJ Watt at DL. Trust me… Its stupid. A player‘s upbringing is important but plenty of single parents have raised great kids and plenty of dual parent homes have raised lazy pieces of shit - and the other way around. There is literally no connection there.
  7. Seen enough of Terry. Seems like a good dude and I hope he gets a great HC job somewhere else.
  8. OU sucks! Beating OU is always fun. Fuck them.
  9. DeMeco votes Carcetti. I want you to put the word out that we back up.
  10. Led the Jonathan Taylor offense in Indy. Dameon Pierce is going to wreck shit next year. Need to draft or sign a great Center to lead OLine.
  11. Dameon Pierce is going to wreck shit next year. I’m juiced.
  12. To me this would be ideal. Not because I think these two guys are destined for greatness or anything, but because it is important to have offensive continuity by running a system you can promote internally or go hire replacement coordinators for if your OC gets a job elsewhere. DeMeco will always run the same D so we have continuity there. The zone scheme is a good scheme, but being able to swap coordinators and keep on-field personnel and approach the same is more important. Having long term continuity on both sides of the ball is crucial. Also, I heard Mark Schlereth say once, when talking about Arian Foster’s success, that zone OL are built a little different by body type and skill set and tend to gravitate towards zone teams, and therefore it’s easier to build a line or continue success with this scheme in the NFL.
