    pretty incredible (and horrible) stats-deaths in college fb

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted

    2 a days and 3 a days become the norm in high level football 

     

    Running suicides for 1 hour straight till kids dropped or walked off and quit... 

     

    No water breaks till the WHOLE TEAM completes the suicides in their given time frame. 300lb lineman had 1 minute 

     

    my defensive backs unit had 50 seconds... 1 person didn’t make it, going again...

     

    they made us do it till kids were throwing up , falling over and quitting...

     

    thank God nobody ever died

    I did, i liked more of it, minus the ending, but I guess it somehow protects brock for when he leaves and comes back, but it also made strowman look like a chump

     

    But man that briefcase toss!

     

    That toss was epic!

     

    i liked the card... some not great finishes but I enjoyed it

    Marcus Murphy needs his own thread

    Yes, Murphy looks good; fast, runs with power, good moves, and runs well outside of the tackles and between them. 


    He was used a runner only a few times in his years at Carolina.  He is getting his shot.

     

    If he keeps doing this, he may be an important player this year, someone who can give the 30 year old McCoy a break now and then,  including for an entire series at times.  Nothing like a great one-two punch to wear down a defense, especially as a game progresses. 

     

    And what we saw on the kickoff was not a fluke, as he was an excellent returner in college,  with a 30 yard average and two touchdowns.

     

    Love those young hungry (and skillful) players that surprise us.

     

     

     

    Marcus Murphy was never on Carolina... drafted by the saints and was on jets and colts PS

    Traveling by Train

    yeah, i know a bed would be great but i am a construction guy so i am a bit rough around the edges so i'm thinking i should be able to handle it. not to mention that the price difference is three times what the coach seat is ($400 opposed to $1200 each way). the amount i save by 'roughing' it ($1600) is going to go a long way when we actually get to Moclips.

     

    i am anticipating no data service for most of the trip. Amtrak has upped their wi-fi to include more trains but alas, the Empire Builder is not currently one of them. i have a bunch of digital media that i am bringing to read to help pass the time.

     

    i don't know that i'll be the youngest person on the train by far, not unless everyone else is in their 60's and upward.

     

    you are correct, no showers unless you have a sleeper. sponge baths will be the order of the day. might try and grab one in Chicago as the layover is something like 6.5 hours.

     

    again, you are correct on the train schedule. i have been monitoring the Empire Builder and it would seem that on average runs about 4 hours late by the time it gets to Seattle.

     

    i will be bringing plenty of food. unless by chance the food is any good, the goal is to eliminate half the meals i have to buy on the train. 

     

     

    alcohol is allowed on the train, only if you have a sleeper. unfortunately, you are only allowed to drink your own supply in the privacy of your own room.

     

    yep, i have always wanted to see the countryside by train not to mention the experience of traveling by train. i may end up regretting it but until i give it a shot, i won't know.

     

    the Mann Act, huh? hmmm....

     

    I could probably post a 'Would Ya?' thread regarding the girl i'm traveling with, but hopefully, "\GoBillsInDallas/" won't be posting a, ' Mann Act arrests: Amtrak style' thread.

     

    in my younger days, i did hitchhike from Tampa to Dallas. long story but the short of it was that we flew down to Fla and the person we were supposed to be staying with didn't reside in the boarded up house that was at the address when we got there. so there we were with a bunch of luggage, boxes and this killer boombox sitting in a parking lot trying to figure out our next move. we decided to call my buddy in Dallas and for an even greater insight into our brilliance then, it was that we decided we were going to hitchhike there with all of our crap in tow. i have to say that universe must have been smiling upon us because we made it with only three rides and in fairly good time to boot.

     

    of course this was back in the early 80's on the tail end of when people still did this type of thing. i don't know that many try it in today's day and age. at least around here you rarely ever see anyone sticking their thumb out anymore. too many wackadoos on either side of that coin.

     

    i may try to sneak a bottle on the train. what are they going to do, take it? no big deal if they do.

     

    i have driven all over the eastside of the Mississippi but very little on the western side. this is one of the reasons why i am wanting to do the train, so i can see a portion of the countryside west of the big river. very much looking forward to western Montana, the Glacier National Park and all the mountains in the Pacific Northwest. on our return trip, we will be leaving from Portland and we get to ride up alongside the Columbia. i have watched a few videos of that portion of the trip and it would appear to be simply majestic. if i see Bigfoot (or even his/her baby), i'll be sure to report that fact.

     

    i'll let you know.

     

    Damn! So they don’t have a bar car attached?

    How did Foster make the team?

    Coleman,  when he gets in sync with our QBs should become our deep threat

     

    No offense to Foster but he is Faster, tracks a deep ball beautifully, and has more upside

     

    And Foster didn’t scorch a veteran cb... the first one that went slightly out of bounds he beat Reshaun Goldman , a rookie S

    I like your post Shaw.  I'd add that there isn't a "norm" throwing motion.  Each of the excellent QB's playing now and that have played in the past throw differently.   IMO, it's actually what makes them all unique.  Further it's why breaking down throwing mechanics is largely an exercise in futility.   I say largely because I know it does have some merit and if you breakdown Allen's mechanics - he's as close to computer generated perfect as I'd be comfortable with him being.  In other words,  I like you,  am not worried one bit about his motion.

     

     

    Same, I think it’s very crisp

     

    but i do think there are such things as bad releases.. a Teebow release will never fly in the NFL

     

    i think a Brady, Ryan release is the by the book , picturesque release that QB coaches try to teach at a young age

    Thanks for going back and finding it.   I noticed this too.   His arm strength gives him the ability to make a throw like that without it being a hopeless floater.   

     

    He's a creative thrower.  

    Yeah, it's why I want to see the guy play.   It isn't about mechanics in a vacuum.   It's about making plays.   If he can make plays wearing a blindfold, then let's get him fitted.  

    I’m game. I agree 100%

     

    his talent at throwing a football is undeniable... And you can’t discount his athleticism

    Roy, not picking on you in particular, but I have a general comment about this whole discussion.  

     

    My point of view is that when it's determined that something is a problem, that's when it's time to fix it.   Whether he's over-the-top or 3/4s, whether he's dropping the ball lower than some guys do, I don't care, at least not yet.   Is there anything that gets in the way of his becoming a star QB?   All of the arm-chair experts around here can theorize about it, but until there's an identifiable problem in his play, variations in his motion from the norm don't bother me.  

     

    My eyes tell me he's a spectacular thrower with a quick release.   I haven't seen anything that suggests he can't be effective.   So I'm not worried.   When he shows that he's inaccurate to a point where it impairs his effectiveness, when he loses more fumbles than the average QB because of his motion, I'll worry.   Not yet.  

     

    This is why everybody should be excited... his arm is different

    And Aaron Rodgers and Brett Favre?   Throw it from every angle imagineable.   

     

    Different guys do different things.   Rivers' motion is ridiculous, but he's been effective for a long time.   

     

    I cant rebuke that

     

    everybody plays the QB position differently... Rivers is supremely accurate with his release

    That scowl on his face, along with the beard and new hair style, screams heel.

     

    I just hope they make it a good story, if he does turn.

     

    I’ve been waiting 3 years for a heel turn! Let him turn on Rollins or Reigns and win the title!
