  1. So, yeah, on a lot of those passes, he seemed to be trying to get rid of the ball super-fast once he made a decision, which I suppose led to him sidearming without his feet set. Didn't look like it was ever necessary to get rid of it that fast, but I suppose the checking down and swirling, speedy defenders made him think that.
  2. A good piece from a guy that seems to see mostly straight. One thing I quibble with: "In such a situation, companies have a fiduciary duty to bring costs down, and the one surefire way to do that is layoffs. At our company, we’ve had little choice but to lay workers off at all of our plants." No, you don't have a fucking fiduciary duty to lay anyone off, or even lower costs. @Captainant
  3. Also points out the stark contrast of the media constantly speculating on Biden's health and raising questions, while not saying shit about this.
  4. And this touches on something that I have worried about. Our OL is lots better than it's been in the last 15-20 years or so, but doesn't seem to be quite there yet. And, outside of Bijan and Brooks, RBs have been perhaps a bit less than overwhelming. And when one's good, the other not so much. And less-than overwhelming OL presented a major problem for our self-sacking QB until possibly this season. Ordinarily, I'd say that's a big problem from Sark and Flood. But they're in year five, which is barely enough time, as I understand it, to develop a talented, cohesive, and effective OL. And we just lost what four of our OL? And the portal is not, again as I understand, anywhere near a complete solution for OL woes. This is where I think the Days and Smarts, who've been running their factories for a considerably longer time, have a pretty major advantage. And the fact that we got a bunch of OL drafted is nice, but does not disprove my hypothesis that OL isn't where it needs to be and it will take some more time.
  5. Interdasting. One of the least Trumpy truths ever. I mean, still ridiculous, but . . . .
  6. I kept meaning to look hard, but failed to, but I think Ella's not jump setting.
  7. I hate/dgaf about either team. I do kinda like Marcus Freeman, and did not realize Cristobal was on the field on that fateful New Year's in 1991. So fuck him.
  8. Sucker rod, imo.
  9. You never flew the SWA cattle cars from Dallas to Austin or Houston? Presents the exact same problem and lawdogs and others been doing it for decades.
  10. Close. Dad. https://stlouishomesmag.com/article/2675
  11. No serious woofers either. The notorious 10-bangers around here would be OK to be seen with most of em. The Badgers lacked the usual badgers for once too. Unusually Alice the goon free.
  12. Niiiice. 🤘 There was a time not long ago when playing Wiscy and Minny made me more than a mite nervous. Not no mo.
  13. That must be a relic of papa whiskey tango fans that now trend Trump.
  14. This has troubled me for quite some time. It's worse at the college level because it seems to pit academics directly against athletics, but may be more exaggerated at the pro sports level because shit's so expensive.
  15. Didn't mean to leave off Emma either. So nice to see Texas hanging with Wiscy on defense.
  16. Not what we need at every position.
  17. Given the usual new-team struggles, I'm pretty impressed. Love me some Ella and it's her team.
  18. https://thetvapp.to/tv/big-ten-network-live-stream/ This is super-helpful. Not the highest def stream, but beggars can't be dicks.
  19. Charlie. Furburger.
  20. See my addendum. We always overrate our talent.
  21. Smart is in year 9 at UGa and Day is in year 6, but inherited pretty much a machine from Urb the perv. Sark inherited basically a dumpster fire. Here I'm not arguing Sark needs more time to develop as a coach (but couldn't hurt), but that our nemeses lately have been pretty plug and play with personnel and system for quite some time. We seem pretty close to that on D, not so much on O.
  22. This seems to be a huge part of the red zone problem. Whenever we play quality teams (here I am referring to injuries, etc., not simply the fact that they are quality teams), some combination of QB, OL, and RB are experiencing dysfunction such that the offense as a whole has become pretty one-dimensional and predictable. Bring that offense into short-yardage and fuhgeddaboutit.
  23. Whenever we're having red zone issues, we're also having fairly serious execution issues elsewhere with one or more of OL, RB, and QB because of injuries or general incompetence. We always seem to assume that our talent and execution are as good as teams like OSU, Alabama, and Georgia that have all been doing this, especially high-level recruiting, for quite a bit longer than we have.
  24. I'm gonna guess that CDC is and has been gently prodding Sark about these issues. That seems to be the way he rolls. No ultimatums or anything. "Steve, have you thought about . . ?"
  25. It's the dismal tide.
