    WC Pre-Game Thread: Tennessee

    I thought this video was an interesting look at Gilmore and the pass D (the title is a little more sensational than the content), but I don’t know enough to really evaluate what he’s saying. I’d be interested to hear what others think, and it’s a long wait til tonight. View...

    2019 Game Goat Thread: Wk. 9 at Ravens

    Can someone with more knowledge than me say how Goatish the playcall was on that fumble? It looked like a screen with no blocking—saw that a few times last night and always looked dangerous. What is the thinking there?

    2017 Steelers: MyFace Champions

    Actually, and I thought this was strange, but he starts out talking about a sneak, but here he mentions asking for a QB draw and Tomlin says 'maybe when you were younger'--someone with more knowledge can correct me if I'm wrong--but a qb draw requires a lot more quickness than a sneak, right...

    That was then: Celebrating what was

    Orlando Cabrera's personalized handshakes were a key factor in the 2004 WS win. I estimate that they were equal to Keith Foulke in terms of impact. There is no amount of time he could have spent on them that I would describe as 'too much'. How many WS titles did Williams, Yaz, Rice, Lynn, and...

    Cataloguing the Laws of Belichick

    Not really based on anything he's said, but something I always enjoy imagining him say: Winning championships is the only goal, and winning in the NFL is too uncertain. So NEVER go for it now. You can't pick your year, so you have to aim for excellence every year and be ready when your...

    Vollmer to be Released

    I hoped he saved his money so he won't have to sell his antique German drinking vessels. Be a real shame to see him Hochsteins.

    Vollmer to be Released

    So many great memories of him in victory formation as we Neal on the ball.

    That was then: Celebrating what was

    I generally like the Around the NFL podcast (which is the NFL.com beatwriters). Their recap episode is basically 70 minutes of them sitting in a studio at 2am walking through the comeback, using the Socci/Zolak radio calls for highlights. The moderator is a salty Jets fan, and one of the writers...

    The Best Defense is a Good Offense - Pats 2016 Defense Discussion

    "The Belichick Letters" by Mark Sessler at NFL.com http://www.nfl.com/BELICHICKLETTERS I don't know that the article makes it ok to write a letter to Trump, but it's a great Belichick story. The author also talks about the story on the October 4 Around the NFL podcast.

    OBJ

    If the British are coming, he'll light the Odell North Church Beacon Junior.

    OBJ

    I like these ODeli Meatpun Juniors.

    OBJ

    If the wind goes out of his sails, he'll be Odell Becalmed Junior

    OBJ

    If he and his sister are abandoned in the woods by their father, he would be Odell Breadcrumb Junior

    OBJ

    Thank you. I try to pick my spots

    OBJ

    If he washes out of the NFL and partners with a computing company to study colony collapse disorder through miniaturized video technology, you might be able to buy A Dell BeeCam Junior.

    So, uh, Brady... IS THE GREATEST QB OF ALL TIME NOT EVEN CLOSE SCREW YOU MONTANA

    It's not so clearly written, but I think he's trying to highlight the differential between passes completed for first downs and passes attempted for first downs:   That 83.3% vs 56.8% comparison makes it look like a vertical attack is more effective. But the 41.6% vs. 41.1% suggests there isn't...
