I figured NC would be German. Lot's of German companies here and many of them send people from Germany here to run them.

 

Every time I go to the mountains to hike I pass multiple groups of people speaking German. Also lots of Russian.

 

I've never really encountered people speaking French here, so this surprises me.

I was surprised by Texas and Vietnamese

Houston was designated as a resettlement area for Vietnamese after the Vietnam war.

 

They were from less than 100 in 1975 to more than 140,000 in 1980.

 

These were mostly middle and upper class people from South Vietnam that were fleeing prosecution by the government after the war.

My guess is that German/Polish bring up a close 4th-5th, but the immigration through Galveston was so long ago the language isn't spoken as much.

      Deep Ball in Cyclical Decline

      By NAS · Posted

      Across the league.  5 straight years of decline. Deep pass attempts have fallen to just 7.7 per game in 2024, down from that 2019 peak. Air yards per attempt are at 7.7 yards this year—the lowest in over a decade. Overall passing yards per game have tanked too, from 496 in 2020’s early weeks to a  403 in 2024.    This trend is a result of defenses playing with two-high safety schemes designed to prevent deep passes, forcing offenses to seek yards after the catch on shorter throws.  Two-high safety calls are everywhere now—up from 44% of dropbacks in 2019 to 63% in 2024—forcing QBs to take shorter throws instead of risking picks on bombs. Add in more presnap disguises, faster pass rushes (QB pressure up to 30.1% of dropbacks), and lighter, quicker D-linemen, and it’s a nightmare for deep shots.    Offenses have adapted with emphasizing power run games to counter deep coverage and fast but leaner pass rushers.  Rushing attempts per game are up to 27.9 per game average with top teams significantly in the 30+ attempts.  QBs are emphasizing more short and intermediate throws so that the few deep passes they attempt have a higher completion percentage overall than in years past.    So to everyone who is frustrated with lack of deep passing, it’s all cyclical and right now emphasis on the run and taking more calculated shots is the way to go.

      Even though Bryce does creep into nearly every discussion at some point, there is other stuff to engage with.  If he was doing that I missed it.

      AI Analysis on ideal round to draft certain positions.

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      We desperately need to pick the best MLB in the draft this time around. We will never find another Luke, but we have to get someone back there that can run the defense on the field, cover weaknesses and correct mistakes in real-time, along with diagnose the opposing offense based on personnel, alignment and pre-snap movement. And they need to be able to hit like a freight train, cover like flypaper and tackle like a rotweiller. Not too much to ask.
