Not surprised I blocked this Whitlock guy on Twitter at some point in the past after looking up his recent tweets. 

Not about Whitlock though...and to be clear, Whitlock was far from the only person to criticize this.

How does a college coach not know the name of his starting center? Especially so when that guy is snapping to his own son.

I'm not asking him to know the names and stories of every single player on his roster, but is it really too much to ask that he know who his starting center is?

Deion doesn’t know his starting Cs real/birth name.  That much seems clear. Which is odd for someone that touches the ball every down and who essential to his QBs play and safety.  

some talking heads were also talking about that cheap shot on the DB/WR superstar……and how literally no one cared outside of Sanders son.  Which is odd in football.   And it even happened on the Colorado sideline. 

it does seem like Colorado is largely a Sanders family reality show that features the one superstar making a guest appearance.  Camera crews basically document it like a family owned business.   

I do wonder how the Deion Show goes when they start getting smacked.  Which is the next couple weeks.

It's not the starting Center. The starter was questionable all week so they played a freshman back up as a game day decision. They have like 113 players technically on the roster

Whitlock is horrible.  No doubt.  And has his own agenda 

But Deion still didn’t know the name of his starting C.  Which is really freaking odd at the least

It was a freshman backup that he didn't recruit. The starter Van Wells was questionable all week and they went with the freshman as a game day decision

Yeah, and he didn’t know his starting center’s name.   Because that’s what the kid was. 

it’s still weird for coach.  100 kids isn’t a lot if that is the world you live in.  Ask any teacher.  It wasn’t the first day of school.

It’s still his starting center for the game.  This isn’t the first day of school.   He is a football coach.  100 kids isn’t actually a lot in the context of a college football coach this far into a season. 

it’s still a weird clip.   

Maybe he was thinking of Hank Williams Jr from the old NFL intro. Not sure who all the Hanks were he was confused over.  1 Hank on the roster.  No Hanks on staff.

If E-Z-U loses to Gardner Webb on Saturday does Houston even bother showing up to work on Monday?

He shouldn't, but most likely will. That program has never been great but at least they were sort of respectable when Ruff was the coach. Since then they have been terrible and getting worse.

They've had their moments of respectability. Hell, they accounted for 50% of Matt Rhule's wins over top 25 teams.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
