SectionC3

I generally agree with this. I’d run right at Lamar to take the mystery out of where the ball is going. Put the onus on the DL/backers to maintain gap integrity and get Henry down. Mix and match coverages (that is, move the safeties around and hold our breath and run man a bit more than usual) to maybe confuse Lamar and steal a possession.

This is a fair question. I wondered about the idea of sprinkling in some 4-3 with Johnson dealing with a TE and being the in-the-box safety. We switched things up in a sort of similar way a couple of years ago when we played a lot of Siran Neal and Efe Obada against NE. I wonder if the bigger question is how to deal with Lamar, however. I’m a believe in running right at him every time they run read option. Let’s take the mystery out of it so that there’s no guessing on D where the ball is going in that scenario. The Henry issue can be dealt with from there.

They destroyed Morrow when he was in. He couldn’t handle the back. (Hill, I think??)

I don’t think that’s always true, especially if there’s no escrow involved. I don’t recall ever furnishing my lender with proof of insurance (and I never had escrow involved and only had the mortgage for a couple of years).

I thought about this last night. I'm sorry that you (and others) have to endure this. I read an article (maybe in the WSJ) a little while back about people bucking the trend of getting homeowners insurance. The basic premise was that the price of the insurance is such that it's worth the risk not to get that coverage and to hope that the house survives undamaged for the length of the mortgage (and beyond, I suppose). I couldn't help but wonder how many people lost that bet this week. It's very sad.

One way to get back in good graces is to not publish stuff that, for example, would have hurt the trade value of former employee #14. Even after the first McD piece was released. And I can tell you with certainty that there’s a couple of whoppers on that issue floating around, and least one of which I know to be true.

I'm still going to add my suspicion that Dunne sat on a couple of things for them, too.

No, it’s not. Again, it’s not that hard.

Play the starter. This isn’t that hard. I’d rather have an injury to a backup than to a starter. Offensive line is the engine of this team. Clapp + four backups allows you to play the second unit in its entirety. Yes, some rotational players - epenesa, for instance — likely will have to play some. But there’s no reason to not dress Clapp for Mike friggin White in a game where the priority is to not get hurt.

Sure. Gore at QB. Wildcat. Whatever. The starting five don’t see the field, Allen takes one snap out of shotgun and either hands the ball to cook or throws it in the general vicinity of Samuel and the rest of the game is inside zone, power, duo and get it over with.

This all day long. We can have the little guys running around at MLB/WLB. But we really need a stud 1T and maybe a more effective 3T for the little people to hold up all season. All of our guys look maxed out in their frames. Except Andreesen. And Milano, who I think is a little fat and slow at the moment.

Gore and clapp. It’s a no brainer. Entire starting OL sits. That’s the engine of this team.

It's possible. I initially was thinking Rams/GB in that slot, but for travel reasons (winner of the 4/5 game is going no further west than Minneapolis, whereas a Rams win in 3/6 game gets them a cross-country trip to Philly) I think you might be right.

I would have thought 8p on Saturday because Allen is a huge TV draw. (And I thought through where other games would fall.) That's why I posted it. I was very surprised to hear of the 1p projection. Agreed. And I had Tampa/Atlanta pegged for 1p Sunday.

Hoax. Get to work and maybe the skilled H1B people won't beat you.

Second hand, but from someone who would know (and obviously subject to change). Plan on Sunday at 1p if it's not the Bengals.

If it’s the house I think it is (at the end of that road), it’s way back off of the street and the yard is enormous. The bigger issue is the health of the pilot. I hope he/she survived.

I am HIGHLY confident Belichick was talking to Jax early in the season. I see UNC as a placeholder job. No good NFL job available this year, he doesn’t have time or desire for a rebuild, and he’s better off waiting for a job with an established QB (Eagles, Miami, Bills) to maybe open in early 2026.

I’m guessing it was the touchdown run. Field was in better shape on his path because during breaks our grounds crew was, shall we say, a bit more liberal in how much area it cleared along the sideline when we had the ball.

My guess is 5x your current STH cost. Tickets will be a little less than double on an annual basis.

Get ready for 6k and 2300-ish.

Maybe we swap him out for Morrow based on the comp pick thing mentioned upthread.

There's a reason mercantilism was left in the 1890s. The whole thing is comical. The guy who, historically, has never given an eff about anyone but himself is now the protector and savior of the working class? Give me a break. But that's immaterial. What is material is that the people around him frequently characterize him as averse to details and ill-prepared. So now America bet on an outdated economic approach that, essentially, only this ill-prepared buffoon thinks is a good idea. I believe in America, and I root for America, so I genuinely hope this works. I just don't see it, however, and I think that (a) he is going to go through with it, based on Musk's comments about near-term pain, and (b) there are going to be a lot of people who learn the hard way about tariffs and retaliatory tariffs very soon.

I think you nailed it. Isn't Week 10 relevant to that analysis? And didn't we do the same thing (maybe with Andre Holmes?) a few years ago?

The master negotiator was foiled by RINOs. Unbelievable. Throw up the tariffs and let’s see what happens.
