Chip Offed...the old block
Fixxxer replied to EmotionallyUnstable's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That's a surprise, I have to say. -
I played it for 15 years, my father was a rugby coach and he threw me on the field at the age of 7, best decision he ever made for me, lots of fun and friends over those years. Anyway, I agree with the practice problem that NFL teams face nowadays but with 10' of tackling drills on every TC practice it would be enough, heck if you watch the video, there's zero contact on some drills so they could coach it on early OTAs if they wanted to. Like better props for practice, better playing field for the players, if I'm an owner I would explore every option at hand if it prevents my players (assets) from injuries. (as long as it is legal)
-
I don't know about you, but I'm all for everything that can prevent the other team from scoring TDs and/or our guys getting hurt, but that's just me.

Something that has been bothering the last couple of years while watching the NFL is the low level of tackling expertise there is in the league. You see guys still trying to make the hightlight reels by trying to hit the opposition with their shoulders or even worse, with their heads. It's also amazing how bad is the awareness of the tackler in certain situations. Go back to our game against the Texans and I remember Gilmore launching sideways (not even with his shoulder) and bouncing off of Chris Polk, who travels 5 yards for a TD. Had he used his arms to wrap up the tackler he would have avoided getting hit (he avoided injury there) and the TD. Here is the play. http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/2015120601/2015/REG13/texans@bills#menu=gameinfo%7CcontentId%3A0ap3000000594916&tab=videos A couple of weeks later Gilmore's year ends with a shoulder injury for not using the proper tackling technique. Here is a video featuring Rocky Seto, the Seahawks assistant to the HC and defensive coach. showing how they implemented the rugby tackle in their defensive approach. Please foward this to OBD and Rex Ryan.

Tyrod Taylor had a quietly spectacular day
Fixxxer replied to PromoTheRobot's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He didn't dropped it because he didn't even touched it. Zero eye-hand coordination there. -

Official 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' thread
Fixxxer replied to Just Jack's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I just saw the movie. Loved it. Thank the gods they didn't overdid things with CGI, this film vindicates real movie sets and extras. I have no complains with the characters and/or their relations, though I'm intrigued with Ren's master. -
Around NFL: Carolina loses. Fitz Wins!

Arizona's defense is fun to watch. -
The lack of urgency before the end of the 1st half was unbelievable. The int was really bad. Taylor needs to take command of the offense in the redzone. Defensively, we allowed a guy with zero arm strenght the short stuff, had we pressed their WRs, Moore wouldn't have completed a single pass, instead the DBs gave their WRs room to operate. We kind of adjusted in the second half. I really dislike our defense, it makes zero sense sometimes. Thurman needs to go. Hogan needs to go too and I think he knows it. His face after he missed that pass (he didn't even touch the ball) on 4th down was pathetic. Mario will be gone, but who can blame him? The defense was awesome last year, why fix what was not broken? Gragg looks as un athletic as a football player can be but he just catches what is thrown to him. Wish he was better on the blocking department. Please beat the Jets next week. GO BILLS!
-
Against the Redskins TT threw to him on a zero route, he dropped it, though the play was dead due to Hogan's false start. Later on Hogan drops another pass. We need players that can seize the little opportunities that are given to them on game days, otherwise they're useless.
-
Continuity of things that work? But that it's not his fault, it's the Pegulas' fault and of course it's Whaley's fault for not advising them accordingly. If it ain't broken why fix it? With last year defense and this year offense we were going to the playoffs.
-
And four defensive coordinators Dave Wannstedt MIke Pettine Jim Schwartz Dennis Thurman
-
I like Graham even though he gets beat at times. Searcy would have been a little overpaid but he's a lot better than Duke and/or Meeks.
-
They should have kept Searcy then, he wasn't the most athletic safety by he made plays with us, in both Pettine and Schwartz defenses.
-
I never thought I would say this, but, not that big a loss for the offense. Woods has been a disappointment this year.
-
Remember how awesome Mario, Kyle and Dareus were under Wannstedt 4-3? Me neither, coaching matters.
-
Let's assume Rex is staying, what next?
Fixxxer replied to Dragonborn10's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Thurman can't and shouldn't be the DC next year, in fact, I would give those responsabilities to the next man up against the Cowboys. -
Lacanfora:Showdown could be brewing b/w Whaley,coaches
Fixxxer replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Can't disagree with that and I'm not saying Whaley isn't responsible for Ryan's hire or whoever advised the Pegulas for that matter. This was the Pegulas' first big time decision regarding their new shiny toy, this decision was all theirs. IMO. -

Fixxxer replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Of course I don't. Ryan needed to enamore the Bills owners not just the GM. He accomplished that with or without Whaley's help. -

He could have been for Rex but if the Pegulas weren't, he wouldn't have been the coach. -

Fixxxer replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
No, my contention is that he's on board because his bosses are the ones deciding who is the HC. It's not about being a yes man, it's about doing your job, and that is to get talent to the team. Whaley could have been on board with Ryan but if the Peulas weren't, Ryan wouldn't be the coach today.
