Daboll's lack of designed runs for Allen this week...
DCOrange replied to LabattBlue's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Daboll or Allen or someone specifically said they featured the QB runs so much against the Jets because they saw that they struggled with it big time last year. I don't think it necessarily means they want to lean on it every week, but it's something Allen does very well and it's something that the opponent doesn't handle very well so we took advantage. -
Edit: NFL removes Bass's kick from All-22 video
DCOrange replied to Da webster guy's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
There won't be conclusive video evidence that the kick was good but it was. I guarantee if anyone cared enough, a physicist could tell you that based on the trajectory of the kick, the speed of the kick, and where it hit the net, it must have been inside the uprights when it crossed over the crossbar. It looks obvious to me but I'm no physicist so I can't give you the actual numbers behind it. It's kinda like one of those plays in basketball where a player swipes his hand left but the ball is deflected out of bounds to the right and the ref says it was off that player. The physics of the play tell you that it's impossible but you can't just tell the ref that what they just called is physically impossible lol. I say this from experience...one of my basketball coaches growing up was an actual physicist and he used to make this argument to refs all the time and he received a technical foul every time. -

DCOrange replied to Da webster guy's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It seemed like it was above the upright to me, but at any rate, just based on the sheer physics of the kick, there's no way that it was wide right. The angle and speed that the ball was traveling in makes it impossible for the ball to have hit the net where it did without having been between the uprights. -
There was a lot of truth in what Foxworth was saying. 11:30 - 12:00 was all fair game IMO. Bomani just hates Allen; always has. As I've said many times, I absolutely loved Lamar as a prospect (had him as my #1 QB prospect in the draft) and liked Allen as well. Bomani was one of the people that disagreed with all the scouts that were saying Allen was a potential #1 pick while Lamar was a potential late 1st round or 2nd round pick (which I totally agree with him on) but he basically got fed up about it and started arguing that if Josh were African American, he would have been ranked lower than Lamar was and that's why he's continued to call him Jaheim Allen instead of Josh even now. The stuff from Bomani is bush league; Foxworth was basically fine (at least for most of his argument).

PFF Refocused Week 1 - Bills vs Jets
DCOrange replied to MAJBobby's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
They actually said Allen "showed numerous signs to be encouraged about", but the OP didn't include that part. -
I'm still not totally out on Darnold and Baker personally. If Baker doesn't turn it around this year, I'm definitely out, but Week 1 against Baltimore is a really tough matchup and weird stuff can happen in Week 1. He definitely doesn't have the excuses that Darnold has anymore though. Darnold might ultimately be toast, but man, the Jets really screwed him over terribly.

Predict the division winner: NFC North
DCOrange replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I voted Vikings but I feel very uncertain about this division as a whole. You could put them in any order you want and I think it would be a possibility. -
Predict the division winner: NFC South
DCOrange replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Toss up between the Saints and Bucs. I went with the Bucs but it might just be wishful thinking. -
Predict the division winner: NFC East
DCOrange replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Seems like a toss up between the Cowboys and Eagles but I would bet on the Cowboys. -
Raiders trade Lynn Bowden to Miami
DCOrange replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Didn’t like him at all as a prospect and goodness he must have had a horrible camp lol -
It's not even just Bills fans. The media and national fans treat anything Peterman-related as major breaking news. He was so bad that it's earned him a cult following. It's really weird.
-
Dare is pretty good for the role you'd be giving him. Good pass protector, solid pass catcher out of the backfield, and good special teams guy. I imagine he'll be scooped up pretty quickly but he'd be a good fit here (along with most teams).
-
The draft picks aren't bad. I get the hesitancy from other teams based on the fact that it's a one year deal and will be extremely expensive if it turns into a long-term deal. I would have been happy to make this trade but I'm not mad we didn't either.
-
If he's including receiving yards, it's not impossible that he could have done it, but he was barely on pace for that before Singletary started getting a bigger workload and it's entirely possible if not probable that his production would have declined as the season went along even if he were getting the same touches that Singletary did. At any rate, doesn't really matter and I wish him the best.
-
I would definitely rather keep him than trade him for an Adams-type package. The Adams-type package was a great return for the Jets though, and if we absolutely had to trade Tre for some reason, I would be happy if that were the return. But again, just get the deal done to keep him here and continue building this thing.

Potential Tre White replacements In 2020 if he opts out
DCOrange replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'd probably rather roll with Norman and Wallace outside than signing Ryan to play there. -
Not entirely sure what you were getting at with your response to me but in case the implication is that I learned this from a biased news source, I was watching the Fox interview live when he said it lol. I would guess CNN, MSNBC, etc. are running with him literally saying they’re immune but as I said, he corrected himself and said they’re virtually immune instead, which is still horribly misleading and dangerous. He did at least acknowledge that returning to school is legitimately putting teachers in danger.

ESPN: The NFL's Best Offenses per Personnel Grouping
DCOrange replied to DrDawkinstein's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yeah, QB sneaks and the unsuccessful Frank Gore dives that pissed everyone off. 23 grouping isn't really something that I want to see increasing; pretty much means we're shrinking the field and making ourselves easier to defend. There's a reason Baltimore led the league using this grouping at 16 total snaps. -
Favorite Pre-Corona Vacation Destination?
DCOrange replied to NoHuddleKelly12's topic in Off the Wall Archives
As far as just like an "every summer, easy-ish to get to" kinda vacation, the Outer Banks or Adirondacks are probably my favorites. As far as more special trips go, some of my personal favorites I've been on are: Belize - Spent a week inland checking out Mayan ruins (which I've always been very interested in) and then spent a week on one of the islands just relaxing, snorkeling, etc. Spain - The two places I went to were Barcelona and San Sebastian. Barcelona is one of my favorite cities in the world. San Sebastian is pretty much a perfect vacation spot; world-renowned food (I think it has the most Michelin-star restaurants per square mile or something like that) and world-renowned beaches. Australia - My partner spent most of her childhood in Melbourne, so going back and meeting all of her relatives was great. Melbourne itself is an awesome city. Great wine, great food, and Aussie-Rules Football is a super fun sport. We also spent a week up in Cairns where we did snorkeling, zip-lining, feeding/holding koalas, kangaroos, etc. Singapore - The architecture and urban planning that went into building Singapore is insanely cool to me. Great food and great shopping if you're into that sort of thing. -
The Bucs are like one of the youngest teams in the league. They just have a couple old players, one of which being Shady who will be part of a 3 RB committee if he makes the team.

I don't know the exact numbers but I know it's definitely low compared to other American pro leagues. Kind of a chicken or the egg deal though. It's hard to bring in the revenue to justify paying big name players without paying big name players first.
