    I messaged a buddy as they were setting up for the kick "How are they going to break our hearts this time?" and sure enough, there it was. The cowardice of running the ball up the middle one time with 45 seconds and a timeout left is just inexcusable. This team will never win anything as long as conservative, unimaginative defensive coaches are running things. It just doesn't work.

    I think if Flus gets canned it'll be the special teams coach running the team, which I prefer anyway. Let Brown focus on Caleb and the offense because based on yesterday, he seems to have a decent idea of how to be at least moderately successful.

    According to the experts, it's much less than the +3 it's been for years and varies a bit based on what home stadium you're looking at. Some are as low a +1 while others still sit around +2.5.

    Threads is just dumb. There's no organization to the things posted in terms of a timeline. Bluesky is at least going to provide some useful information like I used to get from Twitter. My "For You" was basically sports and craft beer before the political stuff took over everything there. Hopefully this can be similar and not too much of an echo chamber.

    Yep. User interface is pretty similar as well. Feels like the exodus from Twitter is hastening and more actual journalists are ending up there now.

    Based on my organized sports experience, probably almost everyone at this point. It speaks to the larger reason why Flus shouldn't be calling the defense. He needs to be supervising all aspects of the team and putting a boot in guy's asses if they aren't working the way they should be. He's the guy who should ultimately be responsible for making sure everyone is doing their job and working hard and how can he do that when he's spending all his time with the defense?

    Outside of last year, what?

    I find it real hard to believe that a rookie who's been given as much responsibility for sight adjustments and calls at the line isn't putting in the time to learn and understand those things. If he wasn't, I have to imagine those responsibilities would have been taken away pretty quickly if he's making the wrong calls at the line because he hasn't studied enough.

    The Lines on the Georgia Tennessee and Clemson Pitt games are pretty wild at -10 in each game. I guess Georgia will be mad is the working theory there?

    He may not have a cannon, but he's quick (feet and release) and the footwork is good enough that I don't see a reason from that clip to think he can't play 3rd.
  12. mul21
    Yeah, I think this is something that he'll absolutely consider. The Dodgers track record with arms of late is really, really bad in terms of health.
  13. mul21
    I'd be willing to bet these are both dead on. It's been obvious for a while that DJ wasn't giving full effort and that seems to be very tied to the way he was being used and the amount of balls not coming his and not even designed to be coming his way.
  14. mul21
    Unless this is coming from a "please don't get Caleb killed in his rookie season because the line is so bad" kind of place, this is dumb and bad.
  15. mul21
    I think the big difference here is that the players on offense, specifically the WR, had essentially stopped trying with Waldron in charge. The difference in performance between a half hearted 80% effort and an all out 100% effort in the NFL is night and day. Hopefully this helps, though I have very little belief it will.
  16. mul21
    Maybe now that Waldron is gone the WRs will actually run a route hard so Caleb has someone to throw to. Bums. All of 'em.
  17. mul21
    Maybe they just mean for week 11.
  18. mul21
    Orlovsky went through a lot of the problems in a breakdown after last week's game. A lot of route combos that don't make sense together, too many receivers in one area of the field, and some other disjointed stuff.
  19. mul21
    That whole series set a tone for the rest of the game. They got mugged constantly with no calls and it really affected them pretty badly.
  20. mul21
    Sweet. We're getting Tucker. 🤣
  21. mul21
    Travis d'Arnaud just had his option declined by the Braves. No idea how the defense is but he's not an offensive black hole.
  22. mul21
    Does it appear that Allen is the first option on a majority of the pass plays or am I imagining things?

    You have to do that though. It's money that WILL be spent and WILL count against the CBT. Not counting it just to say the number is higher is a false pretense that you absolutely can't operate on.
  25. mul21
    The thing you're not compensating for is the salary paid to players on the active roster while someone else is on the IL. As TT said, it equated to about 10 players worth of salary for the season, so you have to figure in probably $8 million minimum for that plus the $3million for Tauchmann and that gets your number to the $53 million everyone else is talking about.
