  1. 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…
  2. 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.
  3. Seen enough of Terry. Seems like a good dude and I hope he gets a great HC job somewhere else.
  4. OU sucks! Beating OU is always fun. Fuck them.
  5. DeMeco votes Carcetti. I want you to put the word out that we back up.
  6. 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.
  7. Dameon Pierce is going to wreck shit next year. I’m juiced.
  8. 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.
  9. Troy Walters was OC at UCF the year they went 13-0. Then he went to Nebraska as OC where, you guessed it, Frank Stallone.
  10. In no particular order, a summary of all the ‘great’ moves the franchise ever made: Draft Dre Hire Kubiak Draft Watt Hire Ryans A sad & short list. But, better days ahead. Great fucking hire.
  11. The average NFL career is about 2.5 years and begins around age 24. He’s 38. So not super quick, but he’s young to be a HC. Rose up quick in the coaching ladder to be sure.
  12. Let the contract terms negotiation begin (?) (Please!)…
