I think Pete Carroll has proven his system works.
But I get the fact Wilson is sick of the OLine problems.

I still remember that great Seattle Legion of Boom,
with that great DLine, and Marshawn Lynch
relentlessly pounding the ball.
And that 12th Man Crowd they had.
One of the greatest NFC West teams i can remember.

Not sure how many QBs are gonna wanna
play in that Carroll offense.

Interesting situation.

Wentz is a mystery to me.
He showed MVP talent for a while. Surely, in the right situation
with the right coach, surrounded by the right players,
he could regain his form.

Wouldnt surprise me if Wentz had a great
second act.

Only 25% of the country identifies as Republican, and a quarter of them are 65+, and more than half are 50+.

To the extent that they have been successful, it has been largely due to gerrymandering and a wide variety of voter suppression tactics.

What I’m saying is… they can’t afford to alienate any Republicans. .

Which is why, to state the obvious, the elites HAVE to control
the Duplicat-Party. They HAVE to derail any progressive leanings
in the Dem Party.

I also think another reason no witnesses were called is because
the Dems were afraid of something. They were afraid of what
the REP Witnesses would say about Dems.

I dont always agree with Lavar Arrington,
but i always enjoy listening to his smooth, articulate perspective.

About half-way thru this vid, he is asked about JJ Watt,
but he talks about Aaron Donald:

I am guessing we may see Quarterbacking like we haven’t seen since John Hadl.
I dunno how many people remember the big John Hadl/Harold Jackson year
but it was a LOT of fun to watch. The ball was flying all over the place.

I expect to see the deep ball again, which should
help McVay’s short-game. The little screens and such, should be
better now that the entire field is threatened all the time.

But. I still think we are looking at a 10-win-team
if the OLine isnt upgraded just a bit.

Brady got all the pub as per usual, and the Bucs D
got a ton of pub, but what impressed me most about the Bucs
championship run was OLine. Seemed to me everytime Brady
wanted to go deep to Evans or whoever, he had an amazingly
clean pocket. I was startled at just how much time they
gave him. And then there’s Russell Wilson, Aaron Rogers, etc.

Can the Rams build a championship Oline?
We’ll see.

Well, I havent followed any of this theater very closely,
so that being said, I thought from the beginning that
Trump stopped short of ‘inciting’ that crowd
in a way that could be proven ‘criminal.’
He never said any of the magic words necessary
for a criminal conviction, in my view.

He didnt expressly tell them to gouge out cops eyes
or bash in windows or bring pipe bombs, etc, etc.

He just didnt.

Did he secretly want them to bring down the government
and make him King of the World? Sure, no doubt.
But he has always been craftier than people
give him credit for. His words are open to interpretation.
They just are. Lots of Reps did NOT force their way
into the Capital Bldng. Why didnt they?
Because they didnt interpret his words in a way
that would lead them toward violence.

You could not get 12 people on a jury to agree on
any of this. Trust me. A prosecutor would be
lucky to get 8 out of 12.

Now maybe there’s ‘other’ evidence I’m not aware of
but if we are just going by trumps weasel words?
Nah, its not enough. He went right up to the line — and
didnt cross it. Which is typical for Trump.
He’s a master at it.

Just my opinion.

Next Man Up:https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/super-bowl-2021-chiefs-offensive-line-coach-not-fazed-by-injuries-despite-not-having-both-starting-tackles/

Super Bowl LV is headlined by the matchup between quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady, but arguably the most important facet of this game has to do with how well the Kansas City Chiefs offensive line can handle the Tampa Bay Buccaneers pass rush. Unfortunately, the Chiefs have had to deal with numerous injuries along the offensive line in 2020, and those misfortunes continued into the postseason. In the AFC Championship game against the Buffalo Bills, starting left tackle Eric Fisher went down with a torn Achilles, and with Mitchell Schwartz already on injured reserve due to a back injury, the Chiefs will not have either of their starting tackles for Super Bowl LV.

While Kansas City’s starting lineup is being reshuffled yet again right before the biggest game of the year, Chiefs offensive line coach Andy Heck told reporters on Tuesday that his position group is deep, and that they all have the “next man up” mentality.

“To me, it feels like something that’s a constant in this league,” Heck said when asked about adjusting his lineup again. “You always have seasons where you’ve gotta … ‘Hey, next man up.’ You’ve gotta move a guy here to there and so in that regard, this is not unusual. I think the way you get them ready for that is you just approach it with a mentality that it doesn’t matter if you’re playing left guard or right tackle. There’s only a certain amount of blocks you gotta make.”

“I feel like they play as one no matter where they’re at. They have that continuity, they’ve been put through that situation at some point or another.”

Heck is correct in saying that his linemen have been put through every situation. On Monday, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid pointed out something that was very interesting in that regard. According to ESPN’s Dianna Russini, at practice, the Chiefs’ entire offensive line will play every single position on the line. So no one is set in one spot and everyone is somewhat prepared to play in any position anytime it is needed.

Heck says he hasn’t officially made a decision on his starters for Sunday, but we have an educated guess of what it could look like:

Chiefs potential starting OL:

LT Mike Remmers Replaced Schwartz at RT in Week 7

LG Nick Allegretti Drafted in 7th round in 2019

C Austin Reiter Drafted in 7th round in 2015

RG Stefen Wisniewski Waived by Steelers in November

RT Andrew Wylie RG this season (UDFA in 2017)

When Fisher exited the game two weeks ago with his Achilles injury, Remmers moved from right tackle to left, and Wylie moved to right tackle. Reiter is obviously still the starting center, Allegretti is at left guard and then Wisniewski fills in for Wylie at right guard. Heck said he’s comfortable in Remmers’ experience on the outside, and that Wylie is athletic enough to play tackle instead of guard.

Whoever starts on Sunday is going to have their work cut out for them, however, as the Buccaneers’ defensive front has been dominant as of late. Shaquil Barrett sacked Aaron Rodgers three times in the NFC Championship game, Jason Pierre-Paul got to him twice and then the Buccaneers also return Vita Vea from injury for the second game in a row — he provides a big interior push from the nose tackle position. With how versatile Mahomes is in the pocket coupled with the Chiefs’ speedy weapons who know how to get open in a hurry, maybe this patchwork offensive line won’t be a big problem. Either way, Heck says his guys are up for the challenge, and that he’s quite comfortable with his players in whatever positions they are playing.

“The guys that are in my room, it doesn’t matter who they are, where they’re from — man, we roll,” said Heck. “Let’s get to work. And this particular group we have this year, I absolutely love. These guys come to work every day, they’re a lot of fun to be around and they love to compete.”
