  1. We had people here who predicted Byron Jones' best position was as a CB so it's nice to see that prediction come true. Too bad we wasted 2 of his first 3 years playing safety full-time, although the good thing about him playing safety is that we picked up his 5th year option as a Safety rather than the more expensive CB designation. I think there's about a $3M difference in salary for 2019.

    I dont mind the outside receivers running verts against the press and a single high saftey.  Bottom receiver is open.  Dak is not good at throwing guys open and these receivers don't get the seperation.  

    Verts? All the receivers are running come back routes. It would've been great if the bottom receiver was running a true vertical,  but he wasn't.  We're out here running a high school offense. Check that, high schools today have more creativity than we've exhibited.  We're running an 80s era middle school offense.  Bootlegs and waggles are about as creative as we get.

  3. Today I got time cuz.  

     

    Where did I disagree with the contention that Jericho should've gotten more time? I simply brought up your word choice and the hypocrisy you demonstrated in describing Barnett's and Jericho's playing time.  If your default setting weren't always set to complete rage everytime you post you might remember takes from other people on this board and have a clue where people stand on subjects such as roster management and minute deployment.  As I said in the post I quoted before, this year's success will be largely dependent on Shaka better allocating minutes. And to be clear, in case you're already firing away on your phone,  yes Jericho should've played a hell of a lot more then he did. Mismanagement of the roster has been an issue every year he's been here.

    One of the keys to success this year will be Shaka managing the bench better. Honestly no one outside of Roach and maybe Sims should avg 30 minutes or more this year if he’s doing things right. And in all honesty with Hayes added muscle Sims doesn’t need to avg that many minutes regardless. Between, Hayes, Hamm, & Hepa the 3 of them have to chip away at any potential overusage of Dylan and Sims. Not to mention throwing in one of Cunningham or Liddell at the occasional small ball 4. Liddell looks taller than listed in all the pics I’ve seen online.

     @Goo Punch I guess in your binary worldview where people can only be fully immersed in the tank for Shaka or laying siege to every move and decision the man makes (including preseason marketing videos in some cases) I appear to be offended by every critique of him.  However to a neutral observer the above quoted post would be clear acknowledgement that he hasn't managed the roster well at all. As for criticisms I've had for Shaka, reference any game thread on the other site or numerous post I've made this year criticizing his decisions.  Sorry I don't get irate about preseason workout videos. I'll leave that to you.  

  5. So Jordan and his 179 minutes in 34 gms under Barnes is playing "plenty", while the 628 minutes played by Sims is "not even getting on the floor". We get it. You don't like Shaka, but the way you go scorched earth with everything relating to Shaka is getting nauseating.

  6. and? you don't think that his never seeing the floor might have contributed to that? we didn't exactly have a long line of athletic small forwards in front of him and he still wasn't in shaka's plans, same as sims last year. Barnett played plenty as a freshman under Barnes and then was told he wasn't wanted or needed by shaka, so i'm failing to see your point.
    We had plenty of wings that season. All of whom rightfully played ahead of Barnett. Davis, Roach, Mack, Yancy, Holland, and at times Felix would roll out at 2 alongside Taylor.
  7. I bet he's next in line for minutes, but i'll be surprised if he has any sort of consistent role during conference play. more likely that he has spots where he shines mixed with longer stretches where he does nothing, based mostly on shaka's minutes patterns at texas. for example last year jericho sims couldn't even get any time on the floor despite us having zero post depth and a need for exactly what he brought to the table. you could probably say the same about jordan barnett before him. 
    Jordan Barnett played for 1 month under Shaka. He was gone at the end of Shaka's first semester here.
  8. very true, but you didn't address his point about the lack of 3 point shooting and a proven rim protector.
    Jones, Long, & Roach (yes Roach) are all decent to above average 3pt shooters (provided Roach continues where he left off last season). Add in improvement from Febres, Coleman, Osetkowski (with fewer attempts), and whatever anyone of the freshmen have to offer and we can hopefully have an avg 3pt shooting team. At the very least we shouldn't be atrocious from outside the arc anymore.
  9. Correct me if I’m wrong, the really egregious stuff had to do with the continued employment of Earl K Sneed which actually endangered female employees. The other stuff, while they definitely don’t belong in the workplace were more relics of old man workplace behavior of the past (ie unwanted touching/massages and misogynistic comments). What else was Ussery accused of in case I’m talking out of my ass?

    ah, this makes sense. i kind of remember a rule like this now. i don't have the volume particularly high at the moment.

    Yep, the Cowboys (of all teams) scored on a punt return a few years back on this exact scenario.

    Gotta admit, I like seeing Coach O succeed thus far at LSU. Call me a sucker for a little guy/underdog story.

    Now, if we ever play them, I hope we crush them so badly he loses his job. But for now? Go Coach O.

    And please, please, embarrass the fuck out of Aggy this year.

    We'll play them the next 2 years.

    Oakland, y'all feel good with this $100mill for Gruden and allowing Mack to leave? Lmao. Might be the best defensive player in the league right now.

    Not only did they spend an exorbitant amount of money for a coach whose abilities have never come close to matching his legend, but that coach is also undermining a GM who has done a pretty good job of assembling talent during his tenure so far.

    Keep in mind these witnesses didn't say anything to the police investigating, but later came forward to the attorney representing the victim's family.  If they are legit yes it changes things, but right now it's all just guesses.  The same goes for these noise complaints. 

    These witness comments regarding Guyger saying "let me in" were out on the internet pretty early in the whole fiasco and well before they went to the victims lawyer with it. Not sure why the police didn't interview them.
