Miyagi-Do Karate

I was talking to a buddy today, and we were lamenting how as kids we loved baseball, but now no longer follow it. i was a die-hard Mets fan (would probably watch just about every game on TV), and knew everything about the Mets and MLB. in 2002, when they threw dumb money at Mo Vaughn, decided to try to outspend the Yankees, and fired my beloved Bobby V, I basically quit following them (and baseball) cold turkey. Anyone else doing something similar?

that looks about right for Jacksonville: some cold cuts in a pita pocket.

For the Jags, you are better off making some British food! Bangers and mash.

Re Solomon, I had never seen an oblique sideline someone this long!

same. We totally lucked out. I think there was some griping after the game by the panthers too.

that’s actually smart by Manuel. 1:45 left. Plenty of time. Those dump downs were easy yards. And the defense gives those to you. to defend Carolina here, the defensive scheme worked. Just got called for a pretty ticky tack PI call. Without that, the game is over.

Wait, steve Urkel is the DC for the patriots now?

Not sure patriots’ heavy man coverage is working either.

By the way, I hate this ref (hussey) with a passion. He throws way too many flags and it feels like he is out there just looking to pick fights with players.

Jets have no respect for the pats passing game. Blitzing every time.

what the heck was that? I have never seen a “QB forward progress is stopped”? He was clearly wiggling out still.

Our LBs against the Jets RBs in coverage is going to be a concern this year. Sort of wonder if we are in a base dime against them?

I am always confused how other teams can run those TE boot legs so easily to a wide open guy. And it never seems to work for us.

Another interesting thing about this article is that it makes clear that you don’t really need good safeties to play these shell defenses. It’s probably why the team feels fine with Hamlin and rapp back there on our end.

Weird .I just read an article re fantasy football that said to start Shakir because the jags have given up the second most yards to receivers in the NFL.

This is pretty funny: kicking is too easy now, and a proposal to narrow the posts. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/have-nfl-kickers-gotten-so-good-a-rule-change-is-in-order-204633916.html

but that was cover 0. I am assuming the jags will try to mostly rush 4 or 5, and have a guy stick with our RBs in coverage. I think we need a receiver and TE who can get open. Maybe it is Coleman catching some contested balls too? good points. But would love to not have to rely on Allen scrambling around.

This is a concern. Don’t think we have a true “man beater.” Seems like the one guy who was good at that was Isaiah McKenzie.

Man, why am I so excited to see Buffalo Joe suit up?! I really hope this guy turns into something!

Etienne is not all that impressive. But he gets his yards, mostly on these little dump offs and screens. If I am the bills, you have to play for that, and tackle well. If they can limit him, then the rest of the Jags offense will suffer.

Just spent like 15 minutes of watching kicking YouTube videos. According to what I saw, You want to kick the ball on the left low side of the ball and sort of swing in to out. on this kick, Bass planted way too close to the ball and hit it on the right side of the ball. That’s basically how you hook a golf ball too.

actually, I was just watching some YouTube videos, and other kickers do that hop too. I would have assumed you just want to plant that foot and kick through (which is what butker does). But I guess the hop might be another way to kick and remain on balance.

huh? Is that really the kick? What is the deal with that hop? Seems way off balance.

A lot of kickers weirdly just need a Change of scenery. I don’t quite get it. But many take off at their second or third stops.

This is crazy! It was tipped! (Or a slip!).
