    ANALYST'S REPORTS

    Crabbs

    Marino

    Pass Sets - Often takes a false step out of his stance, getting no depth and preventing him from driving out of his stance with authority. The end result is he's forced to bail vs. speed and is off balance when trying to anchor vs. power. 
    Length/Extension -He's got the needed wingspan to hold the edge but it isn't often that you see him extend his arms and ride guys past the peak of the pocket. He's got some pop in his hands, too. Just a matter of getting that initial strike down with consistency. 
    Balance -Gets knocked around too much by heavy handed defenders, but that's because of how often he's absorbing contract instead of dishing it out. He'll need to continue to focus on cleaning up his feet and sustaining a wide base to help him play more stout. 
    Hand Technique -His placement isn't great and he's too often late throwing the hands all together, which gives defenders the chance to stun and set him. He'll struggle with recovery because he's so late to flash the palms and get knocked out of position by more technically advanced players. 
    Power at POA -Hard to get a vibe for how much power he's truly packing because on any given play something is misaligned or poorly timed. But he's a pretty explosive athlete for the position and that should translate perfectly fine if and when the technique catches up to the skill. 
    Football IQ -Very, very raw. He's got issues from a technical standpoint with his first step, with his first punch, his angles, so on and so forth. He's a little too linear in his pursuit of defenders, too, if he shows more anticipation he's get out in front of scrapes with greater frequency. 
    Functional Athleticism -He's pretty fleet of foot and shows little issue with playing in space. He's guilty of letting his feet narrow and break down his base as he tries to shadow smaller defenders. He'll have little problem working to set points in space in screen game thanks to mobility. 
    Anchor Ability -Functional strength looks to be present and he carries a lot of mass below the waist, which should aid in his efforts to continue to clean up his anchor as his leverage gets better. 
    Flexibility -He doesn't appear to have any glaring deficiencies in mobility, he's got the needed reach in his cleaner pass sets to get depth off of the LOS. He's flashed nice hip hinge to open to wider angled pass rushers as well, it's just not there from muscle memory perspective. 
    Competitive Toughness -Doesn't play as a tone setter, but not on account of effort. I like the mentality he brings to keep pushing, keep looking for work and continuing to play through the whistle. He's got enough functional strength to stave off attacks despite all his warts. 

    BEST TRAIT - Length
    WORST TRAIT - Football IQ
    BEST FILM - Grambling State (2018)
    WORST FILM - Auburn (2018)
    RED FLAGS - None
    Tytus Howard is a toolsy offensive tackle prospect, but one that has notable development before he should be considered to take the field at the NFL level. Howard has the requisite movement skills, size and length to play the position, but he's very raw from a technical perspective and struggles with the finer points of setting his blocks and hitting his landmarks in pass protection with any level of consistency. Howard can develop into a starting player but that's several years away as he is now. 
    ROUND GRADE - Seventh Round


    Thats not good. I saw 10 seconds of handpicked film and it seems inline with this analysis. Worst film against his best competition is not good.

    I remember hearing from Texans insiders several years ago about how they could plug and play offensive lineman, so they werent too concerned about spending cap space there. Smartest guys in the room.
  2. Usually when I see offensive lineman highlights, they show dominance. This guy was getting pushed back upon initial impact. He looked like he was struggling to hold his blocks. I cant see him starting as a rookie. Also, not sure he couldn’t be had in the 2nd round. Not every draft pick can be Travis Johnson.

  3. what a great guy and classy announcement. his high school coach told me  his sophomore year that he was a bad ass and would play in the NFL some day.  Also still holds the Texas high school discus record at over 215' 


    Would have been 5th in the last Olympics
  4. Mueller explains in his report he came up short on the criminal conspiracy case because he couldn’t prove what the Russians did with the data Manafort gave them.  Mostly due to the Russians being beyond his reach of questioning and subpoenas. 
    Even if the data and messaging the Russians were using matched up with what Manafort was feeding them it could plausibly be explained away as just an unrelated coincidence.


    Mueller also cites obstruction in the form of lying and destruction of evidence as reasons why he could not find conclusive evidence on criminal conspiracy.

    Destruction of evidence and refusing to cooperate with legal instructions are hallmarks of Trump’s legal strategy. Without consequences, he will never cooperate with an adversary. http:// https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_affairs_of_Donald_Trump

  5. Had to look up Devious Simon’s crew:

    Here’s the Leatherskins’ full roster: Big Vlad, Abbadon, Apusa, the Freak Sisters (no relation), Little Vlad, Mister Fifties, S for Sara, Evil Steve, Freakfest Tony, Blaglad the Exsanguinator, the Silent One, Asian Mike, Chunt, Jane the Soulless, Elgrad the Fifth, Hovark the Pitmaster, Gunfrappel and his brother Kirlsak, Wesley Sikes, Desdemona the Shrieker, Len the Accountant, and Count Rapula.

  6. it is one of my favorite current conspiracy theories.


    When Mets Manager Bobby Valentine returned to the dugout dressed in a disguise, that was not a conspiracy theory. That was Bobby Valentine in a disguise. There is no way that is Melania.

  7. I love this shit. I feel like I'm crazy too, but this is easily the 5th or 6th time I've seen a picture of Melania that clearly didn't look like her.
     


    Would normally be the scandal of the year.
  8. I’ve found that when I push back on that kind of fake news, I tend to get a lot of “it doesn’t matter if it’s not true”, which makes me want to check the fuck out.


    I’ve gotten that as a follow-up to fake Founding Father quotes and attempted white slavery abduction stories.
  9. Well you see, as disciplined Constitutional originalists, it is clear that to us that this doesn’t really apply to repub presidents.  Balls and strikes and such....
    Sincerely,
    Justices Roberts, Alito, Thomas, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch


    That’s a murderer’s row of corporatism, zealots, and mental gymnasts

  10. Rudy Gay looks like he's channeling Richard Jefferson out there. Like the guy just completely forgot how to play basketball.


    Times this season when Rudy and DeRozan looked like legit all-stars. They’re old man games are now being smothered.

    We’ve assembled 3 of the top mid-range shooters in the league. Imagine if we could bring in Sam Cassell and George Gervin in their primes.
  11. That reminds me of when we pooled to fly the “Greg Davis is not our standard” banner and Rimbo was being such a bitch about it.


    Did Rimbo want to crash a plane into the other plane in order to stop the banner from flying? That totally works. You want to prevent a plane from crashing into an object? Crash another aircraft into it. That’s if the hyperdrive is disabled.
  12. I was at that UH game. If I remember correctly, Wacker was unstoppable and the best player on the court. He was knocking down 3s and when UH would go out an guard him, he would go right around them and score near the hoop.


    So Wacker was making shots then getting fouled? The 3-point line was not implemented until 1986 in college.
  13. I find you guys arguing with pilots about things you know nothing about adorable. The information gap is staggering.

     

    Greg Davis could run circles around all of us explaining his offense. But it doesn’t mean we can’t be upset when Oregon cornerbacks admit we tipped plays, or that Washington State knew they could blitz us every play, or that OU could dictate we dump a play off to Greg Smith for an automatic 3rd down stop. Shoot, Shawn Watson knows his shit.

     

    The two plane crashes are like Shawn Watson calling 7-step drops with Camrhon Hughes playing right tackle and giving him no help. Sure Hughes doesn’t even touch a guy, but it’s Watson’s responsibility for planning an offense that yields 59 yards for the entire game. Boeing is Shawn Watson. Camrhon Hughes are the two sets of pilots.

     

    It’s mostly irrelevant to focus the blame on bad piloting when that is a known quantity around the world. Just like good OC’s can mitigate weaknesses with scheme and play design, Boeing has a moral imperative to ensure that the known quantity of mediocre piloting would not get people killed repeatedly.

     

    And, fuck if Boeing didnt fight from getting their planes grounded after the 2nd crash or securing regulatory control or finding loopholes around quality controls. All this with the knowledge of shaky piloting and lackluster training and communication. This cannot happen. You know your right tackle cannot always pass protect.

  14. Focus on hearings to prevent foreign influence on elections, then drafting legislation.

    Will pivot towards Trump admin inaction

    Turns into obstruction

    Veers towards why he obstructed and how effective it’s been

    Should coincide with other criminal actions/investigations into Trump crimes

    Question: Can there be a joint intelligence/justice committee?

  15. True...You are correct. But, there's a lot of circumstantial evidence surrounding the case that might lead you to that conclusion. Kind of like Trump and obstruction ..Lot of smoke but no fire to put out.


    “I fired Comey because of the Russia thing” confession sealed the deal for me. Takes mental gymnastics given all the evidence, testimony and confessions to think otherwise.
