Some don't want to be full time, because their day jobs pay a ridiculous amount of money - for instance, Hochuli(sp?) has been resistant do to his being an attorney outside of football...

SJ here's one link - http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000110332/article/carl-johnson-named-nfls-first-fulltime-game-official

You got me there Tom , and you're right, it does get silly. I was just trying to throw some info in to illustrate the name isn't just a hackneyed slang term people are overreacting to... Ultimately, as is many other cases on a message board people have opinions that will not be changed, so I'm ejecting out of this and saving myself the headache. If, after looking into the history of the Washington team's founder people still ask, "why?", this won't be the place to change their opinion.

He's correct - the NAACP kept the "colored" part as a reminder of what they were fighting against. Also, they focus now on civil rights of all - regardless of skin color, orientation, etc. And if you're into keeping track of those sort of things, their current president is white.

If you look at yesterday's video on the Bills page, it's vastly different when you see what happens with the blitzes than reported on twitter/BNews articles. If you notice, there are several sacks in a row where there's an overload and there are more rushers than line to defend it. http://www.buffalobills.com/media-center/videos/Bills_Roundup_Minicamp_Opens_with_QB_Change/27bc9ab9-215f-4868-997d-d5124772fca6

From the quotes in this article, sure doesn't sound like Marrone or Pettine saw it as big as an issue as people on here.... http://www.buffalonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20130612/SPORTS/130619663/two-bills-drive-1004

It's not "just" a PC issue, particularly when your original owner fought integration and was the last NFL team to do so. - http://www.thenation...-redskins-owner

It really tied the thread together, man,

Some of that was the scheme run. For instance, on at least the SF score (if I'm thinking of the same one) Gilmore and Byrd were hosed by Wannstedt having them in cover-3 with Gilmore off by 8+ yards. Byrd can't take the corner, nor can Gilmore if he gets turned around as he did. http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-fantasy/0ap1000000078238/QB-Smith-to-WR-Crabtree-28-yd-pass-TD On the tv call they call it cover 2, but it was 1 high safety with the linebacker going to the flat, which is cover 3 (or 4 if there are 2 high) almost every time.

Here's a little of it K-9 - apologies if this was posted already - http://www.tomahawknation.com/2012/11/2/3586954/florida-state-jimbo-football-passing-concept Particularly routes like "NCAA" are what I'm personally referring to as "half field reads". Once the QB figures out where the weak side safety is pre-snap, the ball is going to the side away from him and the reads begin post snap there. Also, here's EJ from the Gruden Camp talking about some of his responsibilities to run sight adjusts within plays as well as where to read on X play -

Keep in mind Goodell is an employee (and shield) for the owners. So if the owners really want to stretch this out, he's just doing his job and taking the heat for them.

Here's a sample to go along with Kelly's awesome post: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrhVFRPyUwE

Here's a way K-9 that some coaches teach it. http://smartfootball.com/passing/how-to-use-backside-tags-to-attack-the-entire-field-in-the-passing-game Tedford at Cal for instance was notorious for doing so, as well as having his QB carry the ball in a way that got the ball out quick with those reads, but were not as helpful because of it's funky nature in NFL.

One of the reasons NFL network mentioned was Radio City being reserved for an Easter show spectacular that weekend in 2014...Goodell even mentioned "being bumped by Easter Bunny" prior to draft apparently.

The west coast based stuff they're running pass wise is pretty simple; the hard part is reading the coverages that'll dictate to you what to do during play. At FSU he had an option-based route tree, so he had to be on the same page as his receivers, ala the run and shoot. So, even though he had half-field reads, those reads were pretty intricate pre-snap.

In a way he is Buddy Jr. to the consternation of some. Think about it: -He's given jobs to his buddies, but hasn't fired anyone now, when he could; -With the exception of moving the prior director of scouting to nat'l scout, people w/in the org have been given promotions as well (CJ Leak, from practice squad TE to scout in a scant 5 years) -One of their main methods of information acquisition outside of scouts, BLESTO is still going to be utilized, much like they do at Pitt. He may be short the quotes and drawl, but Doug seems to be extending rooms in the house so to speak, not knocking the thing down.

Happy to see Doug get the position and here's to a new era of success for the organization! Disappointed that Kryk decided to put his own conjecture mid Whaley quote in the sun article re: Whaley putting names up on board and Nix taking them off.

Based on the fact they think the Chiefs, Jags and no one in the NFC (despite coaching changes) will go 2-14, your sarcasm is lost on me.

They said Jax improved more than Bills, Bills would be 2-14. Gannon also said the Defense could be the most improved in the league. So...you nailed it pretty much PTR

This game shows some of his best/worst as SJBS mentioned: Notice how at times he slips blocks but rarely is taking them on. I think Pettine in particular is done with the Bart Scott "Stuntman" MLB and will sacrifice a little power for more speed?

It's better to have this debate with him than to do what Pat Kirwin (former asst GM of Jets and host on Sirius Radio) says was one of his biggest mistakes - the Jets thought they could trade down lower and get the QB they wanted. Atlanta traded one pick above them to draft...Brett Favre.

Here's an excerpt from the article : (Note mods if this is too much in quotes please remove)

I can't take credit, I randomly found it looking for an ESPN feed of EJ getting drafted (tired of hearing Irvin claim he'll suck because Buffalo...). Here are some more from the QB Club: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5JRhOEYJdjlYYcR-yTVqvg

Not sure if this was shown on here but Whaley talking about EJ:
