The one simple thing I've noticed with Ryan's D scheme and Newton, Ryan  seems to have a pinch put on Cam with the DEs to where Cam is set to throw as Cam's tendency seems to run backwards to get away from the DEs instead of either stepping up in the pocket for a quick throw or to step up through the middle to run.

If I were coaching Cam this week, which I'm not, I'd try and make him aware of this as it is a tendency and tendencies are what D Coordinators thrive on.   When you feel those DEs collapsing the triangle on you, step up to the space they left, look for a quick toss to your outlet, step in to the gap left, right or middle, but  don't go backwards.  Nothing good comes of that.

the US Submarine force experienced the greatest attrition rate of any of the US armed forces services in WWII, but after Pearl Harbor they were literally the only weapon we had to combat the Japanese with. The boats went into action with an epidemic of faulty torpedoes and it was the Navy and the manufacturer pointing fingers at each other for way too long. The Barbs captain was not called Lucky Fluckey for nothing, but aggressive boat captains were promoted if they survived, non producers were KIA or shipped out quick.

some of the most gut-wrenching accounts i've read were of submariners. sam dealey rivaled fluckey's badassery and the fate of the uss harder was a cathartic experience for me almost, more so than it should've been. 

iirc the harder was actually one of the initial victims of the plague of torpedo malfunctions that swept through the USN. it took a full two years for people to figure out mark xiv firing pins were deforming before they could hit detonator caps on 90-degree-angle contacts, negating countless perfect strikes over that period. fluckey dealt with it too in the barb's earlier patrols, but not to the extent dealey did. dealy actually got accused of being a subpar mariner and imagining convoys in the dark... lol

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!

      You do know the biggest military base in the US is located just an hour from Raleigh in Fort Bragg right? Military families are family oriented. A hour drive to games is nothing compared to traveling 3 hours to Charlotte.   Cmon man there is nothing happening in Western Carolina other than Charlotte. I only go west for outdoor activities and some nature/mountain views.

      Okay, who is coming. And how hard is it going to be to get tickets? I’m currently living in Germany a couple hours north of Munich. Happy to help facilitate a cheaper experience for help getting tickets lol.
