There's only one man who can be trusted with that job. Bob Rubin.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Isaac Newton has just left the building.....

I still think it's a mistake for the gubmint to do ANYTHING at this point. Let the market work through the pain now, it'll be stronger in the future.
I agree.
<gulp>

I have two problems with your post:
#1
if the government plays its cards right
#2
the government is the fastest way

Darin vs. D.M.B.C'maaaaaan! More More More!
What a battle. It'll definitely take 60 minutes to decide a winner there.
Next we can have DCTom vs. LSI in a debate about superstring multidimensionality.
That'll come right down to the wire too.

In my mind the craziest thing from that article is this:
The Rams, who play the Buffalo Bills at home on Sunday, were off Tuesday.They're stinking the joint up and installing a new QB and they're off?!
Are you freaking kidding me?

I thought Schobel played an all-around good game yesterday, but did he have all that many QB pressures? That was the one complaint I saw from people.
He was the only guy on the team to hit Jamarcus Russel more than once.
-
I think he totally whiffed on one in the first half and got Trent killed. Might even have been a sack. He did pick up a couple in the second half.
If I remember right the raiders sent 2 DBs on an overload and Marshawn was sort of stuck in the middle and didn't pick up either.

In light of the multiple threads ragging on Schobel (like the nonsensical trash we endured last year) I thought I'd put this out there:
3-8-BUF17 (:41) J.Russell pass incomplete deep left to J.Walker [A.Schobel].
2-10-OAK20 (10:18) J.Russell pass incomplete deep right to A.Lelie [A.Schobel].
3-2-OAK44 (10:23) M.Bush right guard to OAK 43 for -1 yards (A.Schobel).
1-10-50 (4:12) M.Bush left guard to 50 for no gain (A.Schobel)
2-10-50 (3:29) J.Griffith up the middle to 50 for no gain (A.Schobel)
2-9-OAK17 (7:17) M.Bush left tackle to OAK 16 for -1 yards (A.Schobel).
Also thought I'd mention that according to NFL.com Schobel led the team yesterday in both Tackles for Loss and Quarterback Hits.
And here's a link showing Schobel tied for #6 in the NFL in solo tackles by DE's.

Not exactly. Your link went to the first post in this thread.
When I click it, it goes exactly to post #30; note the "entry1141807" on the end.
Does that site need a login? Because I'm getting the same:It was a link to one of Jack's pictures (#60?).
I also tried it in an IE browser that had never been to that site before and it worked fine there as well.
I think it's just time for me to quit fooling about with links tonight.
-
The link gave me the following error message when I tried to use it:
> You don't have permission to access /servlet/Images/501532007/photos3794/2/1/55/73/94/6/694735501211_0_BG.jpg on this server.
I linked to the following:

And it's working fine for me in both Mozilla and IE.
Perhaps your browser is truculent?

My "eagle eyes" aren't trained to estimate the speed of objects moving at that rate. .23, .39....whatever makes you happy. I really don't care.
Again, where did I say that Schobel "sucks"? Are you going to post a link to this thread (again)?
And where did I say he "was a terror and a disruptive force"?
Which is precisely the post I linked to after you ironically accused me of putting words in your mouth.
-
But Butler cosistently grades out highest out out everybody on the line......
You can mock him all you want with inane comments but the FACT is that he may well have graded out as well or better than anybody else last year, regardless of how snarky you are.
He's struggled quite a bit this year and nobody else has claimed otherwise, so your sarcasm is empty and pointless.
- Way to blow the fake FG play on a time when the defense was expecting you to go for it anyway.I'll bet my house they weren't running a fake. At the time I just thought they were trying to get the Raiders to burn one of their time-outs to make things harder on their offense in case the Bills didn't convert. It was a sound strategy but the Raiders were smart enough to keep their D unit on the field as it was obvious that going for it was the right move.
-
.23 seconds ....
Considering that the guy trying to block him is already flopping around on the ground before Russell has even hit his drop, how long do you think it took before the Tackle was actually beat?
.39 seconds?
Put words into my mouth, if it helps your argument -
Like most dems you are an angry little blue person, lets see, dickhead, not my friend, my master, smoke dope and a fried brain.
Wow, you read him like a book.
-
Don't forget the balls.
-
You're right. He was a terror and a disruptive force yesterday.
No, you're right. He sucks so bad that the Raiders rushed for under 100 yards while their QB completed a total of 9 passes.
Maybe next week he'll notch a sack and the announcers will mention his name. With any luck your eagle eyes will notice him then.
-
.23 seconds? That's one hell of a burst.
That one play (and bad link) aside, what did he do the rest of the game (against a backup LT)?
Completely stoned a Raiders running game that went berserk off-tackle last week?
Applied some back-side pressure in a defensive scheme that brought little to no extra pressure from its 'backers and DBs?
Protected Ellison from being devoured by the Raiders ground attack?
Effectively dropped into coverage on several occasions?
Helped hold the Raiders offense under a pathetic 250 yards?
Yeah he did all those things, just like he always does.
But I didn't see him get any sacks so he must not have done anything.
And what's the problem with the link? Works fine for me.
-
Are you suggesting Nate could tackle like Winfield?
He wasn't as technically sound as Antoine but he brought a lot more lumber.
As far as their coverage skills, I loved the way Antoine played the game but he wasn't even in the same league as Clements.

My opinion of Schoebel was changed by that one video clip. :w00t:
God forbid your opinion is affected by how he actually plays!
But hey, he didn't do anything yesterday.
Of course beating his man in .23 seconds and forcing the QB to chuck it away doesn't appear on the stat sheet and isn't mentioned by announcers. Which means none of you gurus saw it, it doesn't count and Schobel sucks.
Thanks and credit to Jack for the pic.

Pissing away valuable time-outs in the 2nd half of a tight game.
Nightmarish Fairchild flashbacks.
Schonert out-thinking himself and not taking advantage of the very good push the Bills OLine was getting early on.
ST coverage units not playing up to snuff.
The Bills forgetting why they were 2-0 and spending most of the day waiting for the Raiders to roll over in abject fear.
Trent Edwards not getting the ball out as quick as we're accustomed to combined with the OLine's less than stellar protection for much of the day.
-
Football is time based, not possession based. I really have no idea what that could mean. That just can't be the right explanation.
If you have the last meaningful possession on the first half and then get the ball to open the 2nd half, you've essentially gained an extra possession.
Deferral is always the right call and the guy trying to rag Jauron for it simply has no clue.
He had two long balls today and both were horrible throws. He had Josh open deep and overthrew by 5 yards.I would take issue with faulting Trent's throw on that play. That was DeAngelo Hall playing a trail technique on a less than blazingly fast Josh Reed. There was no place on the field Edwards could have thrown the ball where only Josh Reed could get it, and had he thrown it where Josh could get it I think there's a better than even chance that Hall would have gone up and taken it away.
If there was any fault to be laid at Trent's feet on that play I'd say it was in regards to his decision, not the throw itself. Going downfield to a possession receiver who's being covered by arguably the best athlete in the stadium was probably not the right choice.

If ideology were theoretically involved, that could be all but a moot point.
But ideology likely stops a few zeroes short of the capital y'all are talking about.
