He's half-black. Which makes him...black, according to the standard set by those calling Obama "black".
But he has very light skin...which must make him a "white black," according to the standard set by those who called George Zimmerman a "white hispanic".
Both of which I mention just to point out how unbelievably silly racial discussions ultimately get.
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. -
Unless you're the NAACP.
Think first. Then opine.
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.

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....

“What coach said to me makes a lot of sense: ‘If you’re not happy at home, you’re not going to be happy here.’ So he allowed me to go back to my family and tend to my family’s needs.”Defensive coordinator Mike Pettine has little doubt both Branch and Lawson will get up to speed quickly.“It was family first,” Pettine said. “It was more important for those guys to be at home, but they’re professionals. They had their iPads. They had access to what we were doing, the practice tape, the installations. So those two guys, to me, would be the least of our worries going into training camp.”

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
He was also a stone bigot. At the time, the Redskins were the southern-most team in the NFL, and Marshall marketed his team to a white Southern audience by playing Dixie before games and saying proudly, “We'll start signing Negroes when the Harlem Globetrotters start signing whites. -
Dude, seriously. I had that one on page 1.
It really tied the thread together, man,

"I'm sorry people make such a big deal about something that's so small," Williams said. "I grew up as a kid who didn't have two parents in a household. I definitely take pride in being a father and a husband. I take pride in being there for my daughter and my future children because I didn't have that when I was younger."

Well put. The bold text is really the only area of his game I'm not pleased with. He often seems slow in getting over to help and I'm not sure if it's more a question of recognition or just not being fast on his feet.
GO BILLS!!!
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.

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.

I'm not necessarily doubting you, but I'd be interested in seeing any article anywhere that quotes the FSU coaches as instructing their QBs to read only half the field. The entire concept of using half the field goes against every tenet of offensive football. Particularly as it relates to QBs and the passing game. I just don't buy it.
GO BILLS!!!
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.

A lot (if not most) of the time, IMO, when players speak about "complicated" offenses to learn, it is the actual words used to call out the plays. Some systems have an inordinate amount of words that the QB has to call in the huddle so each player knows what his duty is. Other systems, that may actually be a lot more complex in their play design or execution, have less words or numbers or formations, and so it is easier to learn. That doesn't at all mean that one is simple or another is complex, let alone speak to its difficulty for a defense to figure out or defend.
Here's a sample to go along with Kelly's awesome post:
-
First it was Geno, now EJ that was asked to read only one side of the field. I don't know what pinhead talking dork came up with that one, but it's total bullschit. No coach that I've ever heard of would deliberately handcuff his QB and the rest of his offense by taking half the field away. Talk about making it easy on a defense!
GO BILLS!!!
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.

I'm just happy that Doug isn't Buddy Junior. He's going off in his own direction. I don't if that's good or bad but after 13 years of misery, I want something new.
New GM, new HC, new OC, new DC, new QB. I'm about as happy as I can be right now.
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.
-
Who could have guessed that not one of the talking heads is optimistic about the chances of a team with a new starting QB and all new coaching staff? What a shocking prediction!
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)
5:47 p.m. CT, St. Louis Office of Rams COO Kevin Demoff
Days before the draft, G.M.'s Les Snead of the Rams and Buddy Nix of the Bills agreed on a tentative deal: Buffalo would send its first-round pick, No. 8, to St. Louis for No. 16 plus the Rams' second-rounder, No. 46, and the teams would swap third-rounders, moving the Rams up seven slots. Now Demoff's phone was chirping. It was Bills president Russ Brandon, and the news wasn't good: Buffalo had other suitors for the pick.
"Do we have to go get another partner?" Demoff asked. Could be, Brandon replied.
A dark cloud. On the big board in the windowless second-floor draft room at club headquarters were five targeted players. The two whom Snead and coach Jeff Fisher valued above all were West Virginia receiver-returner Tavon Austin and Georgia linebacker Alec Ogletree. Austin-a durable lightning bug and the most dangerous player on the board-was crucial. St. Louis ranked 31st in punt-return average in 2012, and QB Sam Bradford's 6.72 yards per attempt were 26th. Greatest Show on Turf? Not anymore. These Rams needed weapons.
AUSTIN: NO LIMITS
Austin had double-digit catches in eight of his senior-year games at West Virginia-welcome stats in St. Louis.
In an ideal world St. Louis would move up to No. 8 for Austin, then take the troubled but speedy Ogletree at No. 22-or maybe trade down, still get Ogletree and recoup the capital they lost in getting Austin. A day earlier Fisher and Snead gathered the coaches and scouts to explain the plan and hear out any naysayers. There were none.
Losing the deal with the Bills, the Rams felt certain, meant losing Austin. The Jets picked ninth and coveted him. St. Louis had been trying to get ahead of New York for six weeks, got to the finish line, and-poof! -it could be gone in minutes.
Or the price could change.
6:10 p.m.
"What would really seal the deal for Buddy is a seven," Bills cap guy Jim Overdorf told Demoff less than an hour before the draft. Demoff knew that if adding a seventh-rounder to the package was what it would take to finish the move, the 222nd pick wouldn't stand in the way. Snead and Fisher okayed it. The trade wasn't a lock yet-nothing is until both sides verbally inform the league of trade details. Now the Rams had to just sit and wait.

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:
