    Any concern about the visor causing some glare and vision differences for Josh? Simply, he's not use to it and IMO it has to cause some differences for him.

    In PC this week he said he's used to wearing it, does so in practice at times.  Said the biggest thing he doesn't like is it is hotter with it on

    Allen got sacked a ton in his first two years: 8 and 7.6 percent, respectively -- https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/A/AlleJo02.htm. He became adept at avoiding sacks starting in year three, and he's truly elite at it now.

     Even in the first years it likely would have been a lot more if it wasn't for his athleticism and escapability.  The offensive talent on those teams was not good to say the least

    I personally hate the Tush Push. The low camera angles yesterday showed just how bad it is. At least one Eagle lineman blasting forward on every play before the ball moves.

     

    Talking to a coworker today, he had a very good idea. Not sure if it was his, or he heard it somewhere. The idea is for a defensive lineman fake an injury on every Tush Push play. Get the injury stats up because there are some that say that injuries piling up is the only sure way to get the rule changed. 

     

     

    One thing I've noticed is the actual push seems to mean less now - it's more about the OL getting the jump and diving low and creating the wedge.  I think if they outlawed the "push" it wouldn't necessarily stop a team like Philly who has perfected the OL wedge technique and has a powerful person running the ball

    I think you could make a compelling argument that the cumulative pounding that Burrow has taken thus far in his career exceeds what Allen has taken, despite Allen playing a much more physical style. Burrow hangs in to the last second and gets blasted a lot, and he has to because of his line play. Yesterday may have been a routine tackle, but at 28 years old, he's probably absorbed the abuse that someone in their mid 30s at the position would have taken, so he's probably more likely to get injured as a result at this point.

    Another way to look at it is Josh and Mahomes have avoided more sacks because of their athleticism and mobility.  Have never understood why for Burrow everybody always says oh he gets sacked so much bc of bad OL, but there never seems to be any responsibility put on him for not being good at avoiding sacks. 

     

    Josh was playing with poor OL and zero weapons his first years and no one was talking about how much he gets sacked, because he did things to avoid them

    The interesting thing I've noticed is that Mahomes seems to be going back to trying to use his legs a lot more - reminiscent of him running around in his early years (after which he became much more of a distributor of the ball).

     

    I give him credit for trying to put the team on his back while he's missing some weapons, but I think him trying to do so much himself iis also causing the offense to be less reliable and efficient.  Sure when he gets Rice and Worthy back things may change - but will be interesting to see how he plays as the season progresses and the offense will likely still not be what he has been used to (I do think that if he continues to 'challenge' tacklers on his way out of bounds he's going to start taking some serious hits)

    Not sure he's an incompetent coach. It's a seriously difficult job and he's still a young man.

     

    But he looks fried and his head has gone. He needs a year break at least, you'd think.  For his own good. 

     

    In elite sport, it's how you handle defeat that really makes the great ones great. I was watching the Panthers' coach yesterday and that lad has the mindset. Not too high, not too low. Let the fans show the emotion, you just do your job. McD has that quality too.

     

    Dan Campbell, for instance, looks like he's a 4-game losing streak away from driving naked to Canada with a trunk full of hand-grenades. 

     

    You lose in sport. Things don't go your way sometimes. If you listen to the media and the fans too much, and are too eager to please, the game will surely eat you alive.

     

    I don't think any of us really have an inkling what an NFL HC job must be like 

    He may be a good coordinator, X and O's guy, but definitely not a leader of men.  All one has to do is watch the in season Hard Knocks to see how awkward and out of place he is as a 'leader' - would be comical if it wasn't so cringe.  There's a reason why his word-salad-spewing, nerd/'quirky' persona was so against the typical NFL HC grain - because it doesn't work.

     

    I agree with your last sentiment - no one really knows how hard being a HC is, but sometimes it's easy to see when someone doesn't have what it takes

    ““You will not be on this field with this team,” the New York Jets first-year head coach said, “if you’re going to cause us to lose games.”

     

    (Glenn said this about cutting Xavier Gipson after their week one loss)

     

    So is he going to bench/cut half his team this week, or…? 😂

    He's really going down a slippery slope IMO literally cutting guys for mistakes - trying to prove how he is 'no nonsense' and 'tough'

     

    So now are you going to cut every guy who makes a bad mistake - or only certain times/players, which will only show your inconsistency and unwillingness to follow through on your (ridiculous) initial premise, and lose all credibility 

     

    I don't get why anyone thinks he'll be a good HC
