The evolution of PHILLY BROWN

I'm not sure if I was super drunk last night or Did I see Philly Brown getting separation and getting in the right position to make a play on the ball. Seems like if we get into a pickle he's going to be the guy to make that play we need.

He's always been able to do those things, his flaw is just his hands.  If he cures his dropsies, he could be a real weapon for us.

No,  he hasn't done it consistently enough this season.  Last night was good for him,  but let's not fool ourselves.  He is not a starting caliber NFL receiver .  

If you're waiting on an evolution,  then there is some creationism going on in your mind as it pertains to Philly.

Ted Ginn might have caught that sickness

 

Ginn's weakness has always been the bombs that give him a lot of time to think - he rarely drops the slants/outs/quicker-hitting routes. Unfortunately, his speed makes the bombs a real threat and he's dropped no fewer than 5 long TDs this year.

This is our guys whose hands we rely on to field punts, with 250 lb guys running full speed at him trying to take his head off.  And he catches those without an issue.  He is 5 yards past his defender running a go route and the ball hits him right on target in the hands with nobody near him, several times this year, and he drops it.  Inexcusable.

Every time the national talking heads talk about Cam's completion percentage, they should be forced to watch that overtime throw to Ginn. 

That drop is gonna stick out in my mind as the most painful, aggravating one of the season (I hope).

    • Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
