On a side note, I finally saw The Big Lebowski last weekend. Only 12 years late. Geoff Schwartz was funny as hell in that movie and he played some great right tackle atthe end of our season. Multi-talented ftw.

Saw it last night. Really enjoyed it. Thought Renner was great in the leading role and thought it was every bit the best movie of the year and the best war movie since Saving Private Ryan, supplanting Black Hawk Down in my mind.

What I don't understand is the backlash against the film. The whole of the IMDB boards was people hating on it. Makes no sense at all to me. Even more mind-bogggling were the people saying Avatar should have won Best Picture instead. Are they being ironic?

As for Precious (based on Push by Sapphire), I disagree with the perceived notion that a movie has to be a soul-crushing drama to win Best Picture. Most people think that if a movie is fun to watch, it's not Oscar worthy. Well excuse me if I think that sitting through two hours of poverty, child abuse, racism, teen pregnancy, illiteracy, and basically all the worst parts of the Bible is a chore, not an escape.

      No, you're right. It doesn't mean you can't call out his flaws and poor play. But it also doesn't mean you can't admit when he plays well and shows improvement. Not you personally, just in general I mean.

      I will say, I do think there's a version of Bryce that could be really successful as a high-volume passer in a spread-based offense built around quick throws and timing-based intermediate throws with deeper throws schemed up around them. I actually think the power run based offense we're running is a poor fit for Bryce as it requires him to play under center far more often. It's a very traditional offensive approach whereas I think a scheme that spreads defenses out and lets Bryce distribute the ball quickly with anticipation and accuracy is the sweet spot for him. The key, of course, is to find a way to run the ball efficiently out of those formations. Our personnel right now (backs and OL) aren't good fits for that style of offense and I'm not sure it's a scheme Dave Canales favors very much either.

      I root for him, and I hope for the best, as does essentially everyone. But that doesn’t mean you can’t call out flaws and bad plays. And that’s what a lot of people get wrong.  I hope I’m wrong and that he continues to improve a lot, I just doubt it. But I’ve been wrong before
