Schopp STFU

[Royale with Cheese]

So I pretty much have stopped listening to Schoop in the last few months.  I've heard that he loves Lamar Jackson and talks him up.  Sal Capaccio is on WGR this morning talking about the season and the AFC.  Lamar Jackson came up and Sal said "Man Schoop really loves him some Lamar Jackson.  Like he really likes him as a QB but I'm just not there yet...I'm just not".  

I thought some of you on here were exaggerating his love for Lamar but Sal, his co-worker goes on air and brings it up....I guess he is really infatuated with him.

Sal is the only sensible regular on the station, I had to switch to ESPN Rochester because Schoop & Bulldog were such garbage.

I switched too.  It's more fun with those guys.  Schoop is just a grump who can't handle someone who disagrees with him. 

I like the morning guys on WGR.

He loves him for fantasy purposes, which makes sense. You don’t have to spend high to get him and will be productive. I’d rather go JA but schope mentioned him as well.

Are those two separate podcasts.  I use Overcast, and last week, I typed in cover1 and ended up with Locked on Bills - or the other way around.  

Either case, it was some Marino guy, not Dan. 

search Cover 1 Sports, it should come up.

I'll definitely take your word for it...I just don't know since I don't listen.  I just thought it was a little funny how Sal on air brought up Schoop's love for Lamar.

Instigators are great in the offseason and when the Sabres are playing well. It’s more my thing that I can’t listen when the Sabres are bad, which is too often.

Schopp is the weak link in the station. Too bad analytics guy Matthew Coller went to Minnesota instead of Schopp.

Well...Jeremy White is a chucklehead who thinks he’s a lot wittier than he actually is. And he has no idea what the advanced stats he spouts off about even mean.

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

The only time I ever enjoyed listening to him, is when he's not talking sports, he can be pretty fun. He'd actually be decent as a morning/afternoon drive host on a non sports station. But his sports musing is insufferable.

Daily listener on my drive home from work. I love it. I agree, Schop can be a real pain, but it's entertaining. I don't mind someone with a differing opinion. You just have to learn to take what he has to say with a grain of salt. 

I swear they spend as much time talking about their kids, various other "drafts" and things that have nothing to do with sports as they do with sports...

Are there any Bills podcasts that come out on Sunday night?  That's when I am dying to hear takes about the game.

 He does better at non-sports issues than with sports.  I noticed that unless he has a guest on, he can’t talk about sports for more than five minutes without changing the subject to something like movies.  But I really can’t stand listening to him at all. He knows very little about sports and I listen to the station because it’s a sports station and I expect to hear about our local teams from someone knowledgeable. That’s not Schopp.

Bills Beat/the Buffalo Beat comes out the next morning. 

[letsgoteam]

I use to be able to tolerate him until he decided he would take a crack at Christianity just for the sake of it. One day they were talking about Trevor Bauer when he flipped his lid and threw the baseball into the outfield. Someone or he mentioned that he apologized, and then he had to add in "that works for salvation, all you have to do is apologize right?" (or something to that same effect). Then a few moments later because nobody else laughed or anything so he had to say it again to try and get Bulldog or the producer to join in on the bashing. They didn't take the bait. 

 

The frustrating part about it all is the Bauer thing only came up cause of there ESPN updates they give (every half hour, I think). It was just a quick comment on Bauer and he felt it was a perfect time to take a jab at Christianity. 

 

It's just frustrating, I can respect and tolerate other opionions then mine, but why are you going out of your way to take a jab. It's not even a great take, he just reached for some very low lying fruit.

Here’s his post game analysis today: “They won didn’t they?“  He seems to think that all questions about strategy and particular plays in the game are irrelevant, probably because he doesn’t understand what callers are talking about when they ask. Completely unentertaining and rude to callers. I turned it on to listen for a little bit and turned it off. I wish he weren’t on the post game shows.

Trust me I am. It’s funny to me. Not upset at all.

[mrags]

I haven’t listened to one minute of him today but I can picture it. He’s not wrong I’m guessing. 

 

Idiot drunk fans calling in talking about Super Bowl and how great we are. Can do no wrong. And he’s being realistic. In all honesty, we should have destroyed the Jets today. Countless mistakes on the field. Countless mistakes In play calls and game plans. How is it They only handed the ball off like 4 times in the entire first half when it was a 6-0 game at the time. It’s almost like they are trying to make a point. Daboll and Clappy hands shouldn’t get a pass on this game just because they won.

I’m happy. They won. They did some things well. But the playcalling and game plan in the first half was terrible. We should have been up by 21 at least but we weren’t

we handed jets 4 to's including a pick 6  gave up a safety and still won on the road  I'm exstatic

The game plan was exactly right in my opinion.  The vulnerability of the Jets is at LB and secondary.  Their strength is DL.  They set up to stop the run and spy Allen.  “Make him be a QB” was their mantra.  They way to beat this is to throw.  It was working, but a combination of bad luck and poor execution by Allen on a couple of plays destroyed the effectiveness.  A bigger dose of running in the first half was not the answer.

You have to have at least a thought of running the ball. They didn’t. There’s got to be some attempts even if they go nowhere. And if what you say is true, then shots downfield should have been a realistic answer and it wasn’t even attempted to the extent that it should have. I’m not talking about then td to Brown or some of the other deep plays we had. I’m talking about Rockets down the field where you’re wRs are on all out sprints for the end zone. It didn’t happen. 

 

And any playcalling that runs a QB sneak on 4th and 2 on 3rd down, with the defense absolutely stacking the box is criminal. 

[Malazan]

Man, I hate Schopp! Let me hang on his every word and constantly give him free publicity though!

There were a number of plays that appeared to be called runs that Allen checked out of because of what the  defense presented.  In general I agree there should be some mix, but I am not in favor of running into the line just to say we did if the defense appears stacked against it.  Allen did take a couple of shots in the first half and I suspect more were called that he did not throw either because they were not there or he did not have time.  

 

In general I agree that the net result was a lack of variability, but that is circumstance as much as anything.  I absolutely agree with a game plan to attack the Jets aggressively through the air.  That is their vulnerability.

If that’s the case they should have some real shots down the field and they didn’t. Even the long plays today were barely considered deep balls.

Not true. You can't throw every play i don't care what the game plan is. We got better when we got back to running if we were more balanced in the first we would have rolled them.

 

the secondary was there weaknesses but that doesn't mean you totally abandon what we are built on. I suspect McD told Dabol to get it together at halftime and there was a big difference in the play calling and performance of this team.

Personally, I don't think he knows much about sports in general.  However, in saying that, I still think he does pretty well with his show.  I don't understand why people get so upset with criticism in general with our teams.

 

I mean, it goes hand in hand with being a fan.

 

Fan does not equal cheerleader, you can have opinions and criticize as you wish.

 

I don't see either Schopp or Bulldog as all negative, and that's the way it should be.  I'll take the good with the bad.
