Kelly the Dog

He wouldn't have put up with it the first time. He SURELY wouldn't have put up with it the second time. He wouldn't even put up with Ritchie of all people fighting him. There hasn't been any rumors about this. This board is overflowing with people that have deep connections inside OBD. This is 100% crap.

Less than zero chance in hell that Marcel was late for two practices in one week and McD didn't do anything about it. This is nonsense.

Jimmy Spags is an institooshun.

For Netflix, Ozark was really good. The Canadian show from several years ago Intelligence is really good cop show. Highly recommend the Aussie show Rake. I loved it. Great characters and laugh out loud funny. I use the English subtitles even though it is in English but you get used to the accents quick enough. About a boozing womanizing gambling addicted lawyer who is always screwing up and screwing everyone and every woman in sight and then wins most of his cases defending losers and murderers anyway. What's not to like? Really good lead performance by Richard Roxburgh.

That's not what LaConfora wrote, Brad. Or whomever Brad was retweeting. He missed the team bus at the hotel, then drove to the stadium and was looking for a parking spot at the stadium. Not much of a difference but if you are a reporter you should get things right.

No, much worse. He will have an appallingly pedestrian game than will be seen by many as a great game and the chant to have him as the opening day starter will grow increasingly loud.

If you like shows like Dexter.

Is he any relation to Joey Bago' Ragnuts?

Let alone Thursday, when the game is.

Somehow that seems like a better team than we have.

Yup. And there aren't a lot of consistently good coaches. It's like QBing. There are only about 10-12 guys on the planet that do it consistently well.

Probably not. Like I said, I don't like any of the trades. Maybe Schneider and Carroll in Seattle.

There are only so many players at certain positions that can do both well and be above average starters at both. DT, DE, and LB are positions it matters the most. Obviously certain QBs operate better in West Coast versus Pro Style offenses. WR and TE it doesn't matter as much. Surely some CBs are good at zone but not man, or man but not zone. Certain S are good in the box but not out of the box. Certain OL are better at zone blocking than power blocking, or run versus pass. Not a lot of players in the NFL are great no matter what scheme they play. Surely some are but not more than a few per team.

There are a bunch of ways to do it. There are coaches that have a great scheme and find guys who play well in that scheme. There are coaches that have a flexible scheme and are great at adapting to fit the talents of their players. And both of those ways have 5x as many guys who do the same thing they do but suck at it. Satan there is no one like. No one knows or coaches both sides of the ball like he does. No one plays GM like he does. He's an anomaly.

I read the article and it said what I said, with a direct quote from Satan about it. We are arguing semantics though. I understand what you are saying. And as Coach Tuesday remarked, there are various definitions or understandings of "scheme," especially when it comes to Satan. I just think he has a distinct scheme and looks for guys that fit it. He had Walker and then drafted Edelman to play that role and when one of them was hurt looked for Amendola to do it. He drafts or signs these offensive linemen that fits his scheme that come out of nowhere and play well. He has Gronk and Hernandez and loses Hernandez and signs Bennett and loses Bennett and signs Allen.

That's precisely why you bring him in. Because he knows it. A better guy who doesn't know it can't call enoughplays to evaluate the WR.

All 3-4 teams also play 4-3, some of them more than half the plays depending on how many passes the other teams tend to throw.

Yup. And if we play our cards right, we could parlay that into a 7th and a 4th in 2028 and go after Zay Jones, Jr.

I think that Satan is the greatest coach of all time in the NFL. But he also clearly has a set scheme on both offense and defense, and he looks for players that fit that scheme. Hence he is able to insert new OL all of the time that other teams pass over for better athletes because he knows (or believes) that player will fit his scheme.

OR, you trust your gut and know in your heart that it was just a historically crappy trade. Like I am.

I think knowing the scheme allows them to call a lot more plays, and therefore allows them to evaluate the Holmes, Reilly, Shorts, Lewis, Philly Brown types who are fighting for jobs. That's why they choose a guy who knows the scheme.

As said above, Google Kony Ealy didn't fit scheme

The word out of New England was that he didn't fit the scheme. Google "Kony Ealy didn't fit scheme"

It's getting so you can't even trust the court system to screw up every time. Something has to give.

I haven't liked any of their trades so far. So I hear ya. I understand what they are thinking and doing, but I wouldn't be doing it this way at all. So I agree with you. They just cut Kony Ealy because he didn't fit Satan's system.
