Yeah, 160 pound track runners jogging after a ball is the exact same amount of wear and tear as 100 snaps of OL vs DL 600 pound collisions in the middle of the field. Exact same scenarios.

I wonder how Rams fans feel about Chargers fans and how the mutual input influences the design.

Not all close games are created equal. Time of possession needs to be taken into account, plus who had the ball last and for how long. The Lions won a game by 3 points but ended the game on a 3 minute drive that ended with kneels and a chipshot to turn a tie into a win. That’s different from a team that wins on a all or nothing down by 4 scrambling win.

Twofold. First, coaching isn’t something you can just casually walk into. It takes years and years of study and practice and getting the little things right before being able to take that to the next stages. Every year spent staying on top of the game as a player and athlete is a year not spent learning personel management and how to draw up plays.

Second, top end athletes tend to not understand the limitations other players might have. Michael Jordan and Wayne Gretzky are prime examples of GOATs who can’t coach or teach or lead, because “just draw a double+ team and slide the puck between the defenders right onto the tape for a one timer” is a strategy that only works for the elite of the elite.

Third, there’s a necessary component of hunger that is needed to truely grind your way up. Someone who has made millions of dollars and racked up accolade after accolade may think starting from the bottom is “beneath me”. Not to harp too hard on Deion Sanders, but he’s a good example of this. He did good-not-great at Jackson State, won by recruiting more talent than others but would lose big games against better coached teams, and then the first P5 coaching offer he received he jumped ship because coaching in the lower leagues wasn’t prestigious enough. He didn’t learn the fundamentals of coaching and assumed he would be successful anywhere, because he’s been successful anywhere as a player.

Most coaches are players in the sport that they coach in, but very few are successful. Tom Izzo and Coach K played basketball, but once their limitations were reached they managed to use what they learned overcoming limitations to teach better players how to overcome limitations.

Regrettably, Zach Wilson. I saw him getting hit piece’d last year and I thought surely he can turn it around after a year or two of learning from Aaron (and that it would be funny that Aaron was better at teaching a Jets QB than the Packers QB).

Not great, Jim.

And his gf’s butt isn’t too shabby either

I think it’s exclusively because they’re embarrassed how much better Brown looks in Philly. Why risk two former Titans winning MVP awards on a weekly basis while your QB debate is between Tanne and Mayohomes, fast way to get Vrabel fired.

I mean, sure. That’s one way to team build, invest a ton of money into a QB and a RB (in the AFC North no less) and neglect every other position. Gonna be fun when every long drive against the Bengals is answered with “Fuck it Chase is down there open somewhere”

Ravens just dropped a bag on Lamar’s head. He’s not playing anywhere else and he’s playing there for a long time. Ownership is gonna want to maximize how long they’re going to be good under him rather than go all in. Cap situation is already gonna be wonky, they’ll need the picks to minimize how much they’re paying not-QB to be in Baltimore.

The question comes down to if you’re asking for big 3 fast food burger vs any other chain. Like I had a great Whataburger the other month, but if someone asked me for my favorite fast food burger anywhere i wouldn’t bring that up, more regional than a straight up answer

They’re built to be dipped in the frosty, that’s why they’ve got the salt type they’ve got.

It’s about to be the subway sandwiches of football games: It would have been a lot better if it was 2013 and the product wasn’t as impacted by cratering standards and sexual abuse scandals, but as long as nobody tells you off for enjoying it it’ll be decently enjoyable.

He had his “reasons” (Reason: Roid rage)

The big thing to understand about the choice to go to overtime is that the longer a game lasts the less likely upsets are. A lucky team can steal a lead by going all out and opening a bag full of trick plays, but eventually luck runs out.

So if a good team is feeling good and energized they can simply kick the points, take it to extra time, and win the game there. But if a team is aiming for an upset, go big or go home.
