  1. Rule changes for kickoff return formations have effectively neutered the return game calculus. Explosive returns still happen occasionally, but are much less common. You even see a high number of pro teams fair catching kickoffs now. The stats don’t really support trying to return them, particularly from the end zone. The numbers likely look different for kicks that land in the field of play, but I can’t find any articles that summarize the data the way that this one does for kickoff returns from the end zone: https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stat-analysis/2019/return-or-not-return It’s understandable to want to have a dynamic return game, but you need a singular talent and a bit of good fortune to make it happen. Once you weigh in the downside risk (e.g., fumbles and poor field position) there is a strong argument for just fair catching the ball. That is, of course, assuming you don’t drop said fair catch.
  2. That’s a fucking red card on Son. He went studs up right into Rudi’s ribs.
  3. By "this type of stuff", do you mean "being a head football coach"?
  4. We don't. If Kevin Johns is MENSA, he'll tell us.
  5. Awful.
  6. TH knows Ash is a shit hire and wants to soften the backlash with a splashy OC hire. Prove me wrong.
  7. https://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/platform/amp/chelsea-fc-transfer-rumours-news/2019/12/6/20998408/cas-uphold-appeal-cut-transfer-ban-in-half-open-january-market-to-chelsea? Hell yeah. Let’s get down to business and bring in some help next month.
  8. Looks like we came crashing back to earth today. This fucking sucks.
  9. We should really think about beating K-State this weekend. Seems like a good idea.
  10. If we’re being precise, it was the back of his head.
  11. Hat trick bitches!!!!
  12. Make it two!!!
  13. Through that lens, you could justify talking about anything and everything related to the program in this thread and justify it by saying it impacts recruiting. Which....is exactly what is happening already and explains why this thread is such a shit show. Carry on.
  14. While we’re pretending, can we pretend that this thread is for discussing recruiting? Maybe we also pretend that there is an actual forum and thread where there are tons of people discussing our beleaguered DC and who might replace him if Herman had the stones to admit that he got something wrong. Talk about a fantasy.
  15. Or hopefully he was there and realizes that he can get legit playing time in year 1. That’s recruitnik spin 101.
  16. That’s the optimistic view. The outcome itself won’t affect recruiting, but the clear difference in schemes between the two D’s very well could. I have to think a guy or two noticed the difference in how each D-line was used.
  17. Pulisic with a filthy assist to Bats with the game well decided: https://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/2019/10/6/20901236/watch-michy-batshuayi-adds-a-fourth-for-chelsea-against-southampton
  18. I haven’t been watching the participation report closely, but are they still hoping to redshirt him?
  19. You serious, Clark? The EPL is an adjustment, even coming from the Bundesliga. He’s shown promise and he’s shown that he’s not quite up to speed. His time will come.

    Fifa 20

    I’m in for another year. The street/Volta mode looks like a solid addition.
  21. Now Mount wastes a golden opportunity. Not our day.
  22. Wasted opportunity by Bats there.
