It does seem as though NFL officials let some things go. In this case, Adams advantage gained was from running across the formation. Before he made any move up field (the move in question), it is clear that he had Ramsey beat. As far as my first comment, how often do we see offensive tackles make a move that appears to be before the snap? It is the outside leg when they take a kick step back. As Bob said on the first one, I guess it would take watching the film to see when the center actually started any movement for the snap and when the questionable moves occurred.

Maybe you see something from a distance, but if you are not a part of the program on a day in and day out basis, you cannot much such claims...This has to be the worst assessment of a program I have seen on here in a long time. I am not saying it because I am a part of it. I am saying it from the perspective that I have been a part of more than successful program, this one included. Are there games we should have won? Yes.....every program has those. It still does not make your assessment any closer to being accurate. I am not going to get into any details about the program, but I know this.....the program has had great coaches in place. We have had great coaches for a long time. The coaches know the game; are willing to learn, care about and build relationships with the kids; all things that are needed in successful programs.

God in his Judge Chamberlain Haller voice: “that is a lucid, intelligent, well thought out objection........overruled.” 😂

Cool moment after last night’s game with Brees, his kids and Brady https://ftw.usatoday.com/2021/01/bucs-saints-tom-brady-td-pass-to-drew-brees-son?fbclid=IwAR0VtJ2aa6fCjen5-2sYR-0Pm_UPODGkZhO2j32aa1CyAVaKBLVejgHbDUg

Go Pack Go

The feeling is that the Bucs have really controlled the game. Brees looks good at times and not so good on several throws, but Tampa is doing a good job of being in his face when he throws. The Bucs o line is taking this over. The Tampa run game is really what I was expecting to see from Kamara and the Saints.

Methinks a memo was sent to New Orleans about emphasizing the targeting plays. Bad call

The Browns had chances.....ballsy call on 4th down for the Chiefs. Genius if you make it, get raked over the coals if you don't. I like the mindset of having your players make plays....put it in their hands.

I have been impressed with several throws and catches by Mayfield and his receivers. Mahomes out with a concussion may not matter in this one, even though it is a one score game as I type; but how will it impact them next week?

I would add that leading with the helmet/targeting SHOULD be reviewable. If a play is under review, EVERYTHING should be factored in. Interesting halftime conversation........ Should the offense lose the ball if they fumble out of the end zone? Cowher's comment was offense should keep the ball but get it back at the 20. So on that play, it would have been the Browns ball on the KC 20. It is something I had never even considered.

Yeah, trying to reach was not needed. You have to think of game situations. You need to milk the clock on that drive. If the Browns score there, they are in the game. They get the ball to start the half. You are still just two scores down, but the defense has not stopped the Chiefs yet. They are getting to Mahomes though, getting some good shots on him.

I hope that the NFL looks into making flopping a penalty. There is no way that was roughing. Allen is 6’5” and weighs 238 pounds according to their roster. There is no way a small push like that makes him drop that easily. Years ago, I was an assistant in a semi state game, and the team we were playing had a good sized o lineman, after we stopped them on 3rd down, our DE was going back to the huddle and this guy walks by him and falls dow....the flag comes out. I to.d the official on our sideline, that guy is a solid 260 lbs. There is no way that bump caused him to drop like that. I know hockey has a penalty for embellishment, so it seems to have cut down a lot of nonsense that had been happening. I hope basketball and football follow suit.

We have the same issue with our purple from adidas. I have never been an adidas fan. We actually got purple home jerseys and purple game pants....the samples looked great, but ended up being two different shades of purple.....and it was noticeable......to the point we never wore them together. But I have to think that Nike is the real culprit with what they started at Oregon. IIRC, Oregon was the first to go with the alternative look. The owner is an Oregon grad. I think UA started with Maryland, correct? Since the founders are UM grads. I do know Warren Central was the first high school to go with UA. A classmate/teammate from there was one of the early executives with them.

NFL defenses adapt very quickly. His success last year was based on an easy schedule, and the novelty of what he brings to the table. Collinsworth made the comment that he really is a pocket passer, and is good at it. The coaches need to limit the planned run plays, but when it comes to scrambling, I am not sure you can change a mindset that has been a big part of his game for so many years. If they can teach him to scramble so he can throw rather than just take off and run so much, he may settle in as a solid QB. Time will tell.

I think around 9,000 was the total. I have not seen an exact count. I am not sure why they opened it up at this point. It might have something to do with it being the playoffs. I have not seen anything that has been published why they have eased back.

Watching the Ravens Bills game; the Bills have been solid, but the Chiefs have to be smiling. The Ravens have just been dominated all game. Even Jackson was not a threat in the run game. Yes he had a couple big plays, but no damage. Is the game different if the missed FG's are made?

Rams competed well......Packers still have drives they shoot themselves in the foot at bad times though. Solid win overall. They lit up the number one defense in the league. They need to clean that up regardless of who they play next week.

Green Bay has let a number of first responders in, which is really cool. I think they said 6,000 season ticket holders are in as well.

I just listened. When I heard IU is de emphasizing basketball, my thought before listening was after Crean departed and some of the off court issues with his players, and some on campus stuff, the school may have said it. The team was fairly relevant for a couple years under Crean....just had tournament flops, but still competed and were in the mix with the top teams.

There are some alternate unis that are done well. I don’t mind them. East Noble has a gray jersey as well. As much of a rival as they are the black and gray are cool looks. I figure if the kids are working and raising money for the program and want that, then good for them. Our kids wanted black pants. They look a bit funky with the purple jersey. I think they would be cooler on the road, but I am just an assistant. Being a bit biased, the cool uniform combo goes to my alma mater, Warren Central. They have three sets, no alternate colors, although they have had gray jerseys in past years. They have worn pink in October as well. That was different, but applaud the statement.

I was going to listen to the Dakich thing today. If that is true, Miller will stay put then.

On the surface, it makes sense, but Dane has done well building his resume'. People with the school may have made a blanket statement as an out, to avoid a certain alum who seems to bounce around a lot, after a meteoric rise to D1. :) It is a fair question to ask, but also not a good reason to hang on to what is not working. I would say the legacy route is working well for Michigan though. There does not seem to be a lot of big names out there, but one that jumped out in a couple of searches is Tommy Amaker. He has done a great job with Harvard. The other names, outside of Mark Few, who is not going anywhere, make me think of Archie. I think the mid major path is really the only way to go, unless there is a top assistant in one of the top power five teams. I will still hold out hope for Brad Stevens.

I THINK this is what he means....East Noble's colors are blue and yellow, like you see on the helmet. They also have gray jerseys.

If you say you did not laugh, you are lyin

There were jetpacks too
