i feel i should also add this: i was very careful to construct the jesus analogy in a way that doesn't offend anyone. i hope no one will see this as any kind of a jab at their belief system any more than it's an endorsement of it. contemporary christian pastors are famous for the invocation of the hilarious and completely harmless jesus juke, and this post may be considered accordingly.

thanks everyone!

God bless you, my son.

Or damn you.

Right now I'm confused as to which... lol.

(P.S. IMO New Testament God has a great sense of humor.  Old Testament God would have already struck you down with plagues! :P )

Everybody and there mama knows Matt Ryan cant throw a deep ball worth poo and we defended like thats what we were preventing the entire game. We really did not come to play last sunday.

Thats the scheme. Bend but dont break. Don't get beat deep. The panthers D somehow still managed to get beat on a play that lost the game for them.

In the playoffs that poo don't work which is why Kaep and Wilson looked like Tom Brady sending us home. The ball comes out quick on a 1 read slant, all it takes is patience. That's right up their alley. Man is crucial, but if you don't run man you have to jam their receivers. Defensive backfield has to help the DL too, make the QB hold the ball.

Oh I see. Norman just couldn't bring him down.

I'm not arguing that Norman played well. He played like poo. Norman has shut down Julio often, but as it goes with great players, Julio got the better of him in this particular game. 

I'm simply saying that you said "short routes?" and cited the yards per catch as some sort of indicator of what routes Julio was running, when it shows in the numbers I provided, and to anyone watching the game really, that Julio was running underneath a majority of the time.

    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.  
    • Jackie, any more reps tomorrow, or is that it for this session?  thanks for the work
    • How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
