I will always hold David Carr and his gloves too, in high esteem. Houston as an expansion team stole the first pick that we rightfully earned, and they took Carr. Leaving us Julius Peppers. He is okay in my book.

Well it was on JR but not for that reason. In 2009 JR fuged the cap to tag Peppers trying to force him to stay, or keep him from leaving. However you want to put it. That is the year Jake got that extension. That was totally connected IMO. Moving money. And you always reward the guy who will redo his deal, or traditionally that is a part of it. And why Peppers wanted to leave, well that could have been on JR too. I think this was after JR publicly called him out wanting him to be a leader. It didn’t go over well with Pep. That’s how I remember it anyway. Maybe there was more to the why of him wanting to go. It wasn’t money though.

maybe you should read it again, twice if you need to Posted 2 hours ago

That’s unfair, and bullshit. It just isn’t true.

You need to be clutch the whole game. Maybe then you don’t need the do or die stuff at the end so much. Which is nice to have and makes for great entertainment but you don’t want to live there. Everybody is doing ceiling and not really looking at the floor. The floor is the issue and really, has been. IMO. And is the better measure IMO. So I am saying don’t go all in without seeing progress where you know that floor is raised to a good solid level. There have been maybe 3 games this year that have had a pretty solid high high floor for 4 quarters. Dallas was one. Didn’t ask for a lot but it was there when called on. 4 qtrs. High floor. Atl and Rams were high floor. But there were places in both of those games that the floor dipped but it was short lived. It wasn’t allowed to continue. If a couple of those early losses had they had the high floor, maybe they are wins.

This will all change so much by the time the draft is upon us. Most interesting thing to me there is where he has us finishing.

If teams play us honestly and take that deep stuff away we may be able to operate good enough underneath to counter that. It is about time we started trying to force them to respect it. But I think people should enjoy the win for two weeks because what’s in front of us doesn’t scream playoffs to me. It would be shocking if we swept TB. They aren’t Atlanta. And even if we sweep there can be no let down. I saw the stat of our record coming off a loss. Pretty good. What would it be coming off a win lol? Without looking, it has to at least be pretty upside down (I count it to be 2-4).

You’ll have a day here and there where you do make a couple extra birdies and you hold the rest of it together and get a score out of your norm. But that isn’t every day or three out of every four days.

Without looking SCar seems a good bet. We have some Notre Dame guys. I would really be guessing after that. I lose.

If you look at what I said about those throws I said said they were great. Never denied them. I probably credited his execution and focus n that situation more than the qualitiy of the throw itself, which was good not really *that* difficult with good protection. He put the ball out there and the receivers went and got it just like they were supposed to. Not fuging it up when you have it right there is probably harder to ‘get’ than the throw itself. A bigger hurdle. That doesn’t denigrate anything it credits so you know I don’t feel like I denied anything except the characterization of the throw as different than what it was. That goes to the back and forth between the two sides

So I am clear, do we have a distinction between dart and dot?

Made so much money he bought his own island.

Maybe I have the wrong concept but I think of it (dot) as a dart. To a very specific point. Usually involving a small window the ball has to pass through. The touch passes allow some massaging of pace by the target, in the situation where he is between the defender and the catch point. He can adjust slightly to remain in stride on a well placed and timed throw. Like sandbag a little bit and then when you have it tracked you can accelerate into the catch if you need to. There you go. In full stride. It is okay to slow down a hair if you have position on the defender you can still catch it in stride - as long as it isn’t really underthrown. Then of course you have to break stride. Just seems like a different type of throw. It doesn’t have to be quite as perfect. Within a couple of feet not inches. But I am outdated.

I am not sure I know how to figure out how that applies to drops. And the point was probably supposed to be that players don’t seem to be critiqued even handedly. And definitely not a criticism against McMillan, I think he is doing a fine job for a rookie in the offensive ecosystem he finds himself in. I do see the flaws with Legette, some people just have it in for him and won’t cut him any slack whatsoever. I pointed out the drop numbers to illustrate a telling statistic. That apparently it’s okay with people for Tet to drop balls but not Legette the problem child. That’s all. Players we hate. With me it was Zavala year one, I just wanted him gone. I was pretty disappointed in Wallace year one. I haven’t come to love Zavala but have eased up on Wallace. Bryce I definitely never wanted. I seem to be easing up on him every other week. Which is better than he used to do but still not up to the consistency standards expected. slack

The point was it was exaggeration. If everyone agrees that little touch pass is dot I stand corrected. Not sure everyone agrees.
