ParticipantI’m still very skeptical about Austin D,
and it would not surprise me to see
Casey Austin ‘Case’ Keenum
starting by game 8.But, if Austin D puts together
a good game against Dallas,
(which i am not expecting)
then yeah, i might be in favor
of starting him for a while.
Just to see. Hill can always
come in if he needs to.w

ParticipantDamn, that was a good article by Don Van Natta Jr and Kevin Van .
Having said that, there was nothing in it
that surprised me in the least.I was interested in the stat about ‘pretrial diversions’.
The writers said that over 99 percent of defendants charged
with felony assault do NOT get pretrial-diversion-deals.
Only 1 percent get the sweet deals. I’d be curious
about WHO those 1 percent are. Somethin tells me they
are not poor-people.Anyway, what was the driving force behind all the
lying and weaseling by the Ravens, and the NFL in
this scandal? Money? Somethin else?w

Participant================================
Laram (on GW’s aggressive scheme)Williams aggression with blitzes.
I’m starting to put that info together and when he’s blitzing and shooting a gap, the offense is running mis-direction or counters right through the vacated area.
Shooting gaps and either getting sealed or running past the play, and the lb’s are missing tackles behind them.
That’s why I say that Donald should start alongside Brockers. Let Brockers tie up blockers and Donald get’s one on one.
He’s the pure 3-tech.

ParticipantHarkey’s injury hurts the running game.
I do not have a good feeling about this game, at all.
Harkey may be my favorite player.
It just aint the same without
Harkey.w

Participant“It’s just a lot of guys trying to make plays,” Dunbar said.
“We talked about it this past week. It wasn’t a scheme thing,
it was just everybody taking their turn… we’re not fitting it right.
Somebody took their turn here and there.”
In other words, there have been many examples of players not playing sound assignment football and freelancing from play to play….”
———————-Well, Dunbar loves Greg W, so he would never say
its the scheme. I dunno what it is.w

Participant“I would play Austin Davis at this point in time,” Cosell said on Frank Cusumano’s Show, The Press Box. “Hill has been a career back up. There’s a reason he’s at the age he is and what (his role is) in the league.” Cosell said Davis played very well against the Bucs, but his arm strength leads something to be desired. “He does not have a real good arm by NFL standards. But…he has poise, he has a good feel for why plays are called and where to go with the ball. He’s got light feet and good movement. He’s got good accuracy,” Cosell said. Cosell also talked about the development of Brian Quick, the Rams defense and previewed the Cowboys game.

Well, my mantra iz,
if the Rams can Run,
and the OLine can protect,
then
it dont matter if its
Hill or Davis.The Cowboys have some game-film
on Austin Davis now.
Should be inter esting.
I’m expectin the kid
to have some trouble this week.
But then i said somethin like that
about Kurt Warner before game two
in 99.w
vwv
Participant6.66 is a good number for Fisher in many ways,
but if that number represents him, why haven’t the results been better so far?…
6.66Well, i am not sure that run-of-the-mill-Evil
goes as far as it used to.I mean, nowadays we have the Harbaughs, and Pete Carroll
and of course Belichex, and Goodell, etc.
I just dont think Fisher is as high
in Satan’s chain of command as
he used to be.w
vwv
ParticipantThat was awesome.
I see that his appeal worked.
I think it was the Unicorn.

ParticipantI really think… he tried to change how the entire front 7 plays.
Either they will catch on, or he screwed up.
I tend to agree.
“Either they will catch on,
or he screwed up.”The only other possibility
i see, is maybe some guys
are playing hurt.w

and Romo will throw for a million yards.w
vSeptember 19, 2014 at 7:59 am in reply to: will the Rams defense be "fixed" enough for the Dallas game? #7868wv
ParticipantWell if Spags won Seven games
with No talent,
and Fisher only wins Seven games
with lots of talent…
what does that mean?w
vwv
Participant.
This run defense isn’t terrible. It has breakdowns.
Thats exactly how i look at it. Well said.
Thats why I’ve resisted some of RFL’s language.
And thats why I’m optimistic about the runDefense.Still, who knows. Maybe they will fix it,
maybe not. As of week two, it aint fixed.w
vwv
ParticipantYeah-I’ve made plenty of those wrong assumptions. The reason I asked the question is because on the HERD board I’ve been posting about the issues re spousal abuse, child abuse, concussions, etc and I’ve gotten a lot of responses about its media blowing stuff out of context, don’t discount the now wife started it, blah, blah-very protective of the players in general. Then I got a response today from someone who stated “facts” from blog called “RedState.com saying the whole child and spousal abuse thing and concussion is just part of a “liberal agenda”.
My problem is I don’t suffer fools gladly. So I engage and before long it’s out of hand. Anyway, my wife says “people are people and you may think their dumb and maybe they are but you won’t change how they think with debate and you may even piss them off more. So grow up and let it go”. That’s pretty much an actual quote from her.
Well, as you know, each board has its unique history
and ambiance.A lot of us remember the old wars over ‘politics’
on the various Pol Boards. Each of us involved
in those…um…’discussions’ probably came away
with unique lessons from that experience.
I learned that it is pointless for ‘me’ to discuss
politics with people who significantly-different
politix from me. So, i just stopped.
Others came to different conclusions, I’m sure.w
vwv
ParticipantI got nuthin. I dunno how to analyze such
things. I ‘suspect’ based on what i’ve watched
that its not just one player or unit. Sometimes
it seems like its the DTs sometimes the LBs,
sometimes Hayes or C.Long…Its never Quinn,
though. 🙂w
vwv
ParticipantJust curious. IMO I think football fans-especially the hard core ones-tend to be conservative in their political beliefs even what some would call “right wing”. I’m not sure that is true with hard core baseball fans and I have no idea as to basketball fans.
Anyone care to share their opinion on this?
I dunno. Maybe the more ‘hawkish’ one is,
the more likely one is to enjoy ‘violent’ sports
like football and MMA and boxing, etc. I dunno.
Its possible.NASCAR seems to be a rightie thing, in general,
according to some.I’ve learned to be real careful about such ‘assumptions’ though.
Sometimes the assumptions just dont hold up.w
vwv
ParticipantAnybody think Austin Davis will have
as good a game against Dallas
as he had against Tampa?w
vwv
ParticipantInteresting.
Its awfully difficult to know what to do
about cases where someone who may
be innocent, is at the stage where they
are only ‘accused’ of something.
I mean the Rice case was unusual —
there are not going to be videos
in most cases.I wonder how much Friel gets paid
to join the NFL in this project?w
vwv
ParticipantSo far teams have been afraid to challenge the
Rams passrushers. They’ve just dinked and dunked
mainly.Be interesting to see if America’s Team
takes more chances with more
deep passes. I think they will.
I think they gotta let Romo
be Romo.I cant pick the Rams in this one,
cause I dunno who’s gonna cover
Dez. I’m hopin its not Cortland Finnegan.Dallas 24

ParticipantEnh. I cant pay much attention
to stats after only a game and a half.I usually dont even look at stats
until four games have been played.
Thats just me, though.w
vSeptember 17, 2014 at 2:05 pm in reply to: game reactions from around the net (ongoing thread) #7661wv
ParticipantDefinitely interesting, Ag.
Lots of different views on lots of different
players at this point. Its so early,
there’s not a lot of consensus on players yet.w
vwv
ParticipantUnfortunately, you can only protect him so much. This is a violent game and he is a little man.
I fear his career will be an injury-filled one.
Well that CANT be right.
Cause that would mean that Ag
was right and they should have drafted
Cordaroy Patterson. We cant have that.w
vwv
ParticipantI think Hill gives them a better chance to win
IF he’s healthy. I think a Good defense (Seattle)
that game-plans for Austin Davis
would cause two or three INTs.I’ll keep sayin this too, though — its about the OLine,
not the QB. The OLine is the biggest problem
on the team right now. Not the QB.w
vSeptember 15, 2014 at 11:34 pm in reply to: Adrian Peterson has been indicted for Injury to a Child…expanded, new story #7539wv
Participanta head injury???
shaking my head…
The ‘Government’ would need 12 out of 12 jurors
to agree on a guilty verdict.
Defense only needs 1 out of 12 for a hung-jury-verdict.Try and get 12 jurors on a panel
without at least one ‘spare the rod,
spoil the child’ government-hating-fundamentalist.w
vwv
ParticipantRelevant remark by Fisher:
.We’re not where we need to be in run defense. We’re going to really be tested this week. We have to get better there. We missed too many tackles. We had some run misfits. We’ve got our work cut out for us this week because it seems like yesterday that mess happened in Dallas last year. We have to get significantly better.
Damn run-misfits.

Ok, the jury will deliberate 15 minutes

ParticipantConsidering we’re talking about Texas and corporal punishment… if he gets anything other than a medal, I’ll be shocked.
He’ll be found Not Guilty.

vwv
Participantshould be.
We were less than 50 yds from it when it happened. It looked GRUESOME. I didn’t want to watch it on the jumbotron, but I did. I thought we lost him for the year. Bucs fans around us patted me on the shoulder and actually commiserated with me. “First Bradford and now Austin. It’s not right”
Stuff like that. So, only two games or really more like 1 game with the bye? Yeah, I’ll take that.
I just watched the play on Rewind and I winced at the
Route. I dont particularly want Tavon to be
running comeback routes surrounded by three defenders,
while a ball is floated to him.I have a feeling Martz would use more vertical routes
with Tavon. I know I would. They sure did at WVU.w
