  1. Just piggy backing here, but playing armchair sports psychologist, they lost to South Florida and then lost to two rivals in LSU and Miami. Then a bye. Now they have Texas at home followed by traveling to A&M. Not sure if there's a spike in motivation here, especially with a road A&M game next. Seems like just another tough game in a tough as shit schedule after they lost to a shitty in-state school and then two rivals.
  2. If you watch the Miami game, Lagway didn't look right physically or mentally. He looked injured and slow running, and he looked completely lost trying to read the defense Their one good drive was almost exclusively running the ball, but if they fall behind the chains in a series they're probably fucked
  3. No mention of defensive tackle Caleb Banks, probably their best player. I'm assuming he's out
  4. We'll find out if he's practicing early in the week
  5. Seemingly half of Baltimore's starters weren't playing about halfway through the KC game due to injuries, including Lamar leaving with a hammy Obviously his status is a major deal, but that of Ronnie Stanley and Nate Wiggins is too
  6. Fanduel and Draftkings have Texas -7.5 this morning, and a couple of other sites have -6.5 He's been practicing after spending last Sunday and Monday in a precautionary boot
  7. Why don't you think he'll play?

    Watch Minnesota's defense if you want to see some really cool shit

    This show tries too hard

    This is one of my favorite shows, and was watching live from the beginning Whenever I recommend the show, I make sure the person knows the first chunk of season two functions as a weed out class, but eventually it flips and is worth it
  11. That's kind of the perfect time to do it, if I'm correct
  12. The coaches just be trying shit
  13. To be clear, my theory isn't sandbagging. It's actually closer to the opposite of that. Trying to be good at everything early in the season rather than focusing on a couple of run concepts and knowing those like the back of your dick
  14. Something I've been kicking around in the noggin I wonder if Sark wants an offense that scales up to being able to hit the highest notes of game-planning against the best competition. He wants to be able to run just about every run play possible. Different runs require different techniques not limited to steps, rules, and angles, and there's a reason some coaches prefer to major in one type of run (whether it's IZ, OZ, counter, duo, etc). Because of the time and practice constraints in college, and because you're dealing with college kids, there's a true give-take between the quality of blocking for a given scheme and the number of schemes you're implementing. Also it's possible that working on a variety of runs in college leads to more of a focus on just getting your assignment right and "shield blocking" rather than aggressively displacing your man To start the season you're probably looking at being surface-level at a lot of schemes while hoping you have a couple of runs to hang your hat on; looking at a jack of all runs, master of some (or none). When defenses show unexpected wrinkles that you didn't rep that week, but you know that you've taught it in practice at some point, OL is a weakest link position, and it only takes one OL fuck up the play. To start the season, you're hoping that experience or young-but-bright OL grok it as much as possible, but as the season goes on your level of understanding goes up across the board. It's a process. You'd love to know which players get it in fall camp if not spring camp so you can start the building up process as soon as possible, but sometimes that just doesn't in the cards, or injuries happen. Sometimes your game-planning for week one and a player keeps fucking up his assignment against the expected fronts/stunts. Anyway, this is just a theory, but I'm hoping the OL individually and collectively gets better at the various runs as the season goes on. I think the passing game will eventually click at a high level that scales up, but I'm hoping the run get will get to the point to where it truly punishes defenses rather than just jabs them
  15. Hoping we can get an early multiview with the Clemson, Bama, Oregon, and OU games
  16. For those who like to use PFF as a bible, here's an example of the various services that NFL writers/analysts use that varies at a ridiculous degree for a metric And PFF's NFL stuff has much more money and eyes put on it than their college stuff
  17. Covering spreads like this generally depend on how motivated the coach is. Is he Kiffin/Franklin and cares about covering, is he Kirby Smart and doesn't want to embarrass overmatched teams, or is it a staff that's just working on shit? That's hardly a massive line swing. Doesn't even cross a key number
  18. I've been out of work for a few months I'm a reservoir/A&D engineer. Oil company sold in May, got a package. Have been targeting banking and PE technical roles, but also have applied to O&G companies when the roles make sense. Probably have averaged at least a screener interview a week. Have gotten to the final interview several times, and am waiting to hear back from one of them, but it's been a few weeks. I'd like to add more irons to the fire since this thing is starting to really drag on, and I need a job before amazon delivers burn through my severance. If any of you have anything that doesn't show up on LinkedIn (which I've already seen), or have a really good connection somewhere, and are willing to help out, please DM me Thanks
  19. The Rams stunted at a league high 30% They were in dime a quarter of their defensive snaps Houston had the worst starting position in the league, and on at least one of those drives (the first) they were then pushed back by a (bullshit) penalty Houston's 3rd to go was at an average of 10.7, which is terrible. For reference, last year they were 3rd worst in the league at around 7 yards and change The pre-game OL shuffle due to Ingram being out, then Robinson getting knocked out for a quarter and change before coming back in, and the center getting knocked out didn't help. Neither did being on the road against a talented defensive front against a creative and aggressive defensive staff that knows the new OC very well Baptism by fire for Stroud and the pass protection operation. Bowles also is aggressive, but he's a bit more obvious at least, and they don't have Verse
  20. This board is a beating right now
  21. They just be working on shit against these three cupcakes
  22. It's useful for personnel grouping and snap count stats, but I wouldn't masterbate over its grading other than using it directionally
