  1. Ragland on rushing downs. Okay, so 1st down, maybe? Who do you take out? Humber, who flat out beat Ragland in camp? Brown, who already fills our "hole" at slow LB? Maybe you rotate him in with those guys? Sure, okay. So Ragland plays every 4th or 5th obvious rushing down? That's like what, 6 plays a game? At that point, what effect is that "adaptation" having? Your argument could be used for every crappy player in the NFL. "Peterman's a football player, work him in there, adapt the scheme to him!" We don't need Panthers players. We need 4-3 players. We hired McD because 3/4ths of our defense fits a 4-3 scheme for Christsakes and you want him to NOT run a 4-3 so Reggie Ragland can see a snap a game? Did Andy Reid adapt his scheme for Ragland or acquire a player that fit his scheme? I rest my case.
  2. I could picture Aaron Sorkin furiously writing this in the nude. Also, it's such a laughable premise. We're only 4th in exports, 3rd in median household income and 4th in labor force? So America sucks because we aren't #1 in all three of those categories? There are zero countries that rank better than us in all 3 of those categories. This is how you know leftist Hollywood types don't pay attention to sports. "Lebron James wasn't #1 in assists, points or rebounds last year, why do people say he's the best?"
  3. It wouldn't be an NFL suspension thread without Kaep's agent making an appearance. Is he your only client or something?
  4. You can't even articulate what "adapt a scheme,'" even means, but think it's something you can "expect" a coach to just do? lol
  5. All due respect 3rd, but Wade and BB are in a class among themselves. They get praised for their scheme versatility so much because it is so rare and hard to do. I'm going to come right out and say it. McD isn't as good of a defensive mind as BB and Wade. That's okay. I think he knows that too. And that's the most important thing. Coaches who outsmart themselves never succeed. Hey man, this is the NFL. Defensive coordinators regularly change their entire schemes for the sake of a rookie player, drafted by a different GM for a different coach, who is coming off an ACL tear. Wake up!
  6. I guess some folks wanted to run a variation of Rex's scheme on 15% of our defensive plays, so Ragland could see the field every once of a while and we could pat ourselves on the back that we "adapted" while allowing a 60 yard run.
  7. What does this mean? How do you "adapt" to Ragland in McD's scheme?
  8. You weren't kidding about the D bench being shallow. Harris a possible, if not likely, nominee? Yikes.
  9. Lots of folks in here claim to hate Sully, but remember specific articles from 16 years ago and fan interactions like cherished memories. And they can't stop talking about him. Its the media equivalent of pulling a girl's pig tails and telling her she's ugly in elementary school, because you have a huge crush on her. Just tell Sully how you really feel.
  10. And teams that have spent (or wasted) multiple picks to acquire have said he's not worth it. Sammy Watkins is a lot like Dwight Howard.
  11. I don't know. Something about the juxtaposition of "I'm reformed" and "I viscerally hate the left" was humorous.
  12. I audibly laughed at this. We'll all get back to our hot plates in a minute, okay?
  13. Shifting or splitting? The young Dems may be more radical, but the old ones vote. I'm not convinced that enough will hold their nose and vote.
  14. Yes. Indubitably. To believe otherwise is unAmerican. There is a different between fighting for our democracy, and destroying our democracy for this fight.
  15. I think that Tasker might not disagree. But it is better to try to live justly and die, then take drastic, irreversible measures to kill our own democracy in order to save it.
  16. They even throw in something that sounds a lot like the OST theme from The Dark Knight. Unreal.
  17. "Outrage." Links 6 tweets. Really getting !@#$ing sick of this trash media.
