  1. And he's the wrong ethnicity
  2. Look maybe you don't understand, I'm Mr. Juntao's lawyer, legal advisor.
  3. Time to dust off the world's supply of 40mm Bofors with some proximity fuse ammo.
  4. Makes sense why they got the pontoon bridge up and running in the last 48 hours under the Antonovskiy bridge. I think this may coincidence with the weather really turning for the worst before the ground freezes. The only operation the Russians have pulled off with any kind of remote success was the withdrawal from Kyiv. If they blow the dam, and besides all the downstream damage, what does that do to the upstream reservoir for the nuke plant?
  5. I'm with you. My two best guesses are them not wanting to share their tech/capabilities and/or still wanting to play nice with Russia to manage issues in Syria.
  6. If Icono is against it, then I am, without a doubt, for it.
  7. He has never been "fast." He is extremely quick, has the ability to change directions while accelerating, which is almost alien like, and he is a pretty big dude, but he has never been straight-line "fast." (I.E. I think he is a 4.5 guy - plenty fast - just not pull away from people with angles fast).
  8. Because we have been good enough at corner this year, and I think we have some solid young players. We should be recruiting bodies for sure, but I don't think CB holds a candle in importance relative to finding some personnel fix to the issues I listed above.
  9. Well how creative can you really get with no ability to get edge pressure, and with your LB and Safeties lacking any type of natural instinct/ability to locate/identify pass-catchers and or patterns? We are playing immensely better defense this year, although it has been frustrating at times. If we can do the following next year we might be great on defense: Legitimate edge rusher LB that can identify pass and pattern match Athletic safety that can identify pass and pattern match If we can have one above-average to good player and two average players that fill the three (3) roles above this defense will be at another level. If we somehow were able to get a game changer at each, look out.
  10. I hear secondaries too. There is a military airfield on the outskirts of Yesek.
  11. The Iranian drones are not remote operated. They are pre-programed with a flight plan and a static final target. They lack the ability to dynamically change targets in flight or send back any kind of ISR data. I do believe Iran has sent some recon drones as well but these are not the same as the suicide drones.
  12. We play man… because our LBs and DBs can’t execute zone effectively. It’s been that way for years… hell even Akina preferred us mostly in man. When we play man we get beat by man beaters/pick plays. It’s inevitable with what we have, or lack, from and edge pressure perspective. if we had at least one real/serviceable pass rusher on this team nobody would be bitching. That said minus the one beat and the bust on the long drop I didn’t think it was a horrible performance. The O left a lot of points and yards out there today.
  13. Top pic looks like the 3rd DL is in the process of putting his hand down and DMO on the top side edge over the wing back as on the bottom pic. Agree on neither being particularly good at setting the edge.
  14. computers are hard
  15. Not with the annual rent growth that segment has been experiencing... which is only going to continue as single family developers pull back on new construction starts in what is already an undersupplied segment of the economy. More people are going to be forced to rent, and less units are going to be delivered due to rising capital costs and construction costs coupled with discounts on the exit. All of which means that rent growth is going to continue to increase substantially. If you have the ability to execute cash acquisitions on MF transactions, with long money, you are going to look smart over the next several years.
  16. And that was an under hand flip on a jet sweep.
  17. Just catching up before heading to fair park. Could have been a Dagistani, Chechnyan or other pissed off group of Russians?
  18. The nightmare of red storm rising.
  19. Think this may have been weather related? Recent clips have been overcast/raining. Girkin alludes to it during his talk as well, the Ukrainians have been moving through gaps in the Russian lines but that involves moving through areas with no roads. Hopefully the weather and ground improve for the Ukrainians to keep the pressure on.
  20. I hope he starts and isn't wearing socks.
  21. We've got a good start with the Marine's recently retired Abrams sitting around.
  22. But #1 in rushing per game.
  23. Lots of open ground between the east bank of the Dnipro and the pre February fortifications near Donetsk. If and when the Ukrainians push the Russians off the east bank of the Dnipro, I could see the next push north to south between Dnipro and Donetsk. Potentially to get in position to put Melitopol, Berdyans'k and Mariupol under pressure, cut Russian east to west movement and put all the resupply ports on the Azov under fire. Ukrainians on the west bank offer fire support and keep Russians in place on the east bank of the river under threat. Maybe this is wishful thinking but would massively exacerbate the already stretched Russian logistics. Regarding Ukrainian offensive timing, some of the videos we have been seeing are starting to show some mud problems and slow down the pace of advance/resupply. I do believe the Ukrainians keep the pressure on once the fields freeze if they have the capability. Keep pressure on the Russians and force the mobilization troops to be used as piecemeal stopgaps.
