Whatever happened to the nose guard. 1 tech, 3 tech, 5 tech…. dumb, all of them.  Everyone knew what a nose guard was. I’m still looking for a halfback.  

What positions are these three playing?

I am in favor of getting the "push the guard out of the way and tackle the ball carrier" tech... where can we get one of those? LOL

If you called Smerlas an “O Tech”, he’d say “Whaaaa??  Have you seen my schnozzz?  I’m a nose guard!”

This thread is screaming for me to call someone an idiot-tech.

Good to see you, sir!  Just before the (rescheduled) Rapture. 😁

I'm a 0 technique guy. I asked my wife how she'd rate my technique in bed and she said "0".

The worst modern offender is "arm talent"  

 

The dumbest possible way to talk about arm strength.  Arm talent.  Just ridiculous.

Idk arm strength throw ball hard.  Arm talent is Allen rolling out to his right and throwing a throwing a laser over the linebacker before the saftey.  Mike Vick had arm strength and prime Aaron Rodgers had arm talent.  Similar things but also a little different.

Those are different things.

 

arm talent is always used as a substitute for arm strength.

 

the other stuff, accuracy, awareness, ability to make throws from all angles and on the move off balance etc.  are all different traits.

 

when guys drop balls in the bucket like Allen’s incompletion to Kincaid last week that is accuracy or touch, not arm talent.

 

its a goofy term that exists for no reason except somebody used it and then everyone uses it to justifies its existence.

 

its pretty much like David Cross’s fantastic bit on “Timemug”
