  1. Perfect comp: regarding the attire and the on-field product Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. At some point also, the poor field position coupled with a bad offense, should make the HC say, “let’s try for a return instead”. I guess they eternally figured they could block one without roughing. What a smarmy ass way to lose the kicking game. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. I misread this as being written by Burt Reynolds and then re-read it in Norm MacDonald’s SNL skit voice. Made it a bit better than hearing it in Buford’s voice Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Thank you. Sounds like better Lou to talk to. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Is Lou the athletic trainer? It’s hard to find info here. But there is a Lou Addazio, Steve’s son, as an Offensive Analyst. Yes, quality genetics there in medical information - but yes potentially a richer man soon. Speaking of, friend who trained in Sports Medicine with ATM says that Jimbo is very shady re: Sports Medicine and made that department his own. So, might be any answers coming out of anyone.

  6. Pretty much this. It’s a fine point of playing man coverage. The next thing that DB should do is to beat the WR to the ball on the play because he should have at least some inside leverage and ability to go downhill on the play. That doesn’t happen either. He winds up trailing and catching from behind. My beef here is with coaches Joseph and Gideon - teaching and fine-tuning mechanics is literally their job.
  7. Actually I’m directly stating that when we’ve had the backups come in like, Gbenda/Tucker-Dorsey, Dorbah, Crawford, Taafe, etc, they are actually NOT better than what’s being thrown out there. I DO have an issue with these backups being out there in the first quarter for no particular reason. Perhaps a few plays to give the starters some rest at spot times. Also, Ford was not the player last year that he is this year.
  8. My ramblings: the pass defense is bad at LB and at safety levels. The corners are passable. The depth is overall poor - PK is “playing” Taafe and true freshmen because that is all he has available. And contrary to the idiots spouting about “Player X can do a better job”, it’s evident that no, they cannot. the DL has improved greatly and that’s why the overall D has improved statistically; Ford is able to generally play vs the run well enough, and DMO makes just enough plays to justify himself (also his backups are barely passable). The DL is able generate pressure, and PK’s known fault is that he doesn’t routinely blitz (more than 4). Yes, PK’s lifelong coverage scheme is actually a Cover 1/3 press man. So the marriage of Joseph (who seems to be a recruiter and not a coaching-coach), Gideon (meh?), GP, and their backgrounds in 4-high looks, with PK… seems off. Personnel changes should happen, but if PK is here next year (I’m abstaining to vote him out as of now), he should be given some ability to change up the defensive staff.
  9. The top pic looks like the “base 2-4-5” look, with Ogoufo standing and Guibeau (?) walked up as well to the edge. The bottom is a more traditional 3-4 alignment, with DMO walked up at end. The problem with either of these alignments is that neither DMO or Oghoufo enjoy setting an edge.
  10. Concussion protocols pretty much begin and end around a football week-long schedule. So the tweet is correct that if he is doing well symptoms-wise, Gabriel won’t actually do much of anything until Friday. Then if he’s still good come Saturday, he plays. It’s pretty standard - and especially this week.
  11. It’s been said, but Hutson really is killing alot of run plays, and usually to the left side - Flood needs to throw something else at the wall.
  12. I need to catch-up drinking for today
  13. This. I agree that the defense didn’t look as bad as I thought in rewatch. The DL was fine (except Ovie - he’s barely sufficient most plays). But Ford and Overshown were poor in primary or transitioning to pass coverage. They truly played scared to go too far to the line or drop too far in coverage. On top of that, Thompson was awful: late, bad angles, poor tackling. That’s the D right up the guy, and Tech played pitch-and-catch on RPOs or simple seam patterns to the TE. I wish I knew how to do the screen stuff to show.
  14. I gotcha what you’re saying. Again, whether this is designed to run/blitz both outside gaps or to get to the QB, the effect was awful. This defense has not the brains or ability at LB and S to…. do much.
  15. Actually looks like base 2-4-5 w the NB blitz. I guess DMO is also blitzing because WTF is he running the play down from the backside like that. I think the coverage is man-free as Thompson seems to roll towards the middle of the field, Cook goes and closes towards the RB going wide. (From what I’ve seen of the game so far, Thompson was awful)
  16. Win or lose, I look forward to the first two posts on this weekly thread. So thanks @bigup2dahornsand @mdmost And as much rep as I can give, I have. Also noted is the talent in the WVU cheer
  17. They don’t: but UT doesn’t seem to be involved in any way with him. Weird on a few fronts, but that’s recruiting
  18. Short story: this is the equivalent of a minor ankle sprain, no bone or cartilage is involved. Because there is no further instability involved, treatment is to allow the ligaments to stop being painful. Then play. His physical exams and on-field try-it-out will determine that. Longer story: the SC joint is an end-to-end joint. Think of two bones just coming together. There is cartilage that covers the ends of the bones and a cartilage “piece” between them. Then it’s wrapped VERY tightly with ligament tissue. What an SC sprain is technically, is injury tothe ligament tissue alone. Fracture means bone involvement. Cartilage has nothing to do with the ligament tissue. Tearing of any of the cartilage is akin to a meniscus tear in the knee - swelling and instability and pain. There is technically no structural damage visible on an MRI. i don’t expect Sark and certainly not FCB to understand these things. Sark just needs to know that he’s “good to go”
  19. The medical info here is wrong anyway but tldr; FCB. The docs who have actually evaluated Ewers will return him when he is ready.
  20. I’ll take this as honest inquiry: but the answer is no. Again, the joint itself is fine - thanks for the additional input from @Sawbonz and @ChiTownDoc - if the joint structure itself was needing repair, that’s bad. His ligament structure is what is damaged — stretched actually — and that is going through a natural inflammatory process, which would be necessary to heal it up. If he wound up weeks from now with on-going pain or issues then conceivably, yes you can go ahead and push some PRP or stem cells into the capsule/ligament to stimulate a novel healing process. I’ve seen these heal in around 4 weeks for D-1 athletes and high schoolers, so OU is a reasonable timeframe.
  21. I’ve been trying to respond to this thread:. Yes an SC sprain is a whole different beast - can actually be life-threatening on the left side due to major blood vessels. An AC sprain (grades 1-2) would have been best-case scenario as our surgeon friend explains and what we were hoping for when they said MRI. So yeah, damn. No you cannot technically rehab the joint itself (it’s a joint not an actual muscle!) so you rehab the chest, shoulda, shoulder blades etc - everything around it. once his pain is controlled, and his mechanics are not affected, he will be cleared. I’m actually in the sports medicine business myself. But not a nurse.
