  1. Classy move by AP. I'm sure a number of other players feel the same way....

     

    Adrian Peterson texted support to Odell Beckham Jr. over suspension

     

    "But my personal opinion, I don't think it warranted a suspension. I had the opportunity to reach out to the young guy. I just told him, 'Hey, just learn from it, and keep your head up.'"

    Then he turned him around and whipped him with sticks.

  2. I like how Sully pretends that if McCoy had alerted the press that he wouldnt speak, they would have left him alone and done something more productive.

     

    Bull. Those same leaches would have been standing right there yelling questions and comments at him, Sully included.

  3. Football isa high strength highly explosive sport. To be both of those things, you need to be tight to be that explosive at a high level in this sport. That said I think football/the NFL does a poor job. I've seen these guys lift in person. Technically it's poor, with really heavy weights. I know guys who work in high level physiology (international competition) who all pretty much agree the NFL is full of the B team guys in regard to sport, and are considered meatheads.

     

    Think rubber band. You want to flick one across the room, or use it for a "slingshot". What produces the greatest distance/speed/power. Brand new rubber band, out of the box, not the one that has been keeping together your mail or pencils.

     

    Conversely, being looser related to better endurance and aerobic capacity, but significantly lesser max power output and explosiveness.

  4. Great article. I love the part about using him for a decoy and later in the game, actually throwing the swing pass to him. We saw that on the TE screen to Clay a couple weeks ago. Shady lined up in the backfield, motioned out to the slot, and they fake the swing pass to him and hit Clay on the other side of the field for a nicely set up screen. 4th qtr, same play but a swing pass to Shady with Clay as the decoy.

     

    Something that we've all been screaming at the carousel of OCs to do for years with backs like Spiller and Fred. Glad to see it happening with Shady.

  5. What has Kiko done to deserve this comment? He's always been classy and as far as I've heard/read, he's done nothing against the Bills or their fans.

     

    Some people. :bag:

    I dont want to see him hurt the guy, I just feel like Kiko against the run can be exploited. We saw it first hand in the second half of his rookie year, and the trend continues with his overpursuit or lack of vision. At the same time, I dont want to see a bunch of screens and short passes because hes really good at defending those.

     

    Nothing malicious here, I just wouldnt mind some vindication for the McCoy/Kiko trade to the tune of a few big runs.

  6. he strikes me as the Peyton manning of their team. He decides where he wants to line up on defense and generally does whatever the heck he wants.

    I guess it depends on how bad of a break and all of that, but I wouldnt think that he would be effective doing things like grabbing people and pushing. Mario was ineffective for a good 1/2 season when he had a hand/wrist injury. I remember him saying how even a small injury in the hand can really affect your game on the dline.
