  1. Max and Charles will have to be careful. The midfield is chaos on this circuit. Both will have to hope for an over it and a well-timed safety car.
  2. Fucking fucking fuck Ferrari. Leclerc would’ve been on the front row if not for the grid penalty. He once again found those extra few tenths in Q3 and rinses everyone besides the RBs.
  3. He also shot 39% from the field and 54% from the line. He’s a good player, and I like him a lot, but he did stuff just like in today’s game his entire time here under Shaka too, and I certainly don’t miss that part of his game.
  4. Carr has had some truly awful passes tonight.
  5. Except their OL is still dogshit.
  6. Watching Courtney Ramey jack up terrible desperation shot after terrible desperation shot in the closing minutes for Arizona felt very, very familiar.
  7. I have to say, Ferrari managing to burn through both his allocated control electronics before the end of the first race is a real fete. Most teams would have to try extremely hard to fuck up that bad already.
  8. It’s not amazing if he’s starting there by default because we have nothing returning at ILB besides Ford. PK has based out of a 2-4 for over a decade now and I don’t see that changing. We have some unknowns at edge, but the odds of Finkley, Burke, and Tapp giving us average or better play at one edge spot are much higher than us having 3 competent off ball linebackers to start the season.
  9. I think you have to separate edge and interior DL. We've done great at edge the last two years. Interior DL has been subpar the last two years, especially with Ross looking like a miss. We will definitely need a portal interior DL next year. As for this year, I'm not nearly as concerned. Sweat and Murphy are great starting interior DL. Collins is good for a first backup and then hopefully Bryant or Bledsoe can move ahead of Broughton by the fall.
  10. Speaking of, Ferrari’s head of aerodynamics just resigned. lol. Supposedly he was not a fan of Binotto getting fired, or maybe it’s because he designed a dog of a car this year that understeers and eats it’s tyres like Vic Mackey’s girl eats a plate of Fritos and Mac n cheese.
  11. As a Leclerc fan, this makes me laugh and cry at the same time. Got dam I hate Ferrari so much.
  12. That team has given him a car that half the grid could’ve won 7 titles with and made him an absolute legend. The first time they go in the wrong design direction in a decade and he throws all those hard working people under the bus because they didn’t do what he said with the car? Yeah that’s a fucking Dick move. There’s no reason he had to bash them publicly.
  13. Still kind of a dick move on his part. He's usually subtle about it, but he does tend to blame the team or other people when he fails to perform.
  14. I have a bet with a friend that Beard ends up at one of the Mississippi schools in the next two years, so this is working out nicely for me.
  15. This is definitely not right. Ross has the athleticism to play strongside edge where Sorrell plays now.
  16. And even after all this, Mike Roach, EJ Holland, and Wescott Eberts still think Quay Davis was a huge miss by the Texas staff that will plague us for years.
  17. Your takes on all this are so weird. You're completely failing to take into account height and weight when you look at raw numbers. RoJo was in the 81st percentile for testing numbers of all RBs that have ever tested at the combine, and he was 8th for RBs at the Combine. Achane was 68th percentile in RAS and 50th in SPARQ because he's tiny. RoJo weighs 30 lbs more than Achane so of course he won't have the same raw 40 time, but he performed way better overall. And Babers has no fucking clue what he's talking about on stuff like this.
  18. If it was just the pods, they could fix it relatively quickly, but they have suspension/underfloor issues that are the bigger problem. Those don’t have a quick fix and, really, no one besides RB and AM know the best design for them.
  19. Sounds like the second coming of Demond Demas.
  20. I agree they should quit going down this path, I'm just saying it's not like they even have a clue what the right path is. The observable stuff, like sidepods does almost nothing. It's all about the underfloor. That's a huge difference between these aero regs and the previous ones. It's much harder to copy/catch up.
  21. I don't think it matters what "concept" Merc pursue. RB and AM have something figured out with the underfloor that no one else knows. Merc might be able to find more improvement going with a different concept, but unless they have some drastically better way to run the floor (which they could already be incorporating to their current concept), then they going to be way behind no matter what.
