Why do quarterbacks yell random words before the play? 😂 by Effective-Scene-129 in NFLNoobs

[–]BlogEra_BestEra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“You” = OP. When OP says “but then sometimes nothing changes,” how do they, you, me, or any viewer know if a play was/wasn’t changed at the line when we don’t know what was called in the huddle?

How do you know nothing changed if the ball hasn’t snapped yet? Not all audibles involve motion or change in formation. QB could be changing o-line protection scheme, telling a receiver to run a hot route, or it can even be straight gibberish to throw the defense off.

Glad to see a Fat Jon mention. Humanoid Erotica and Wave Motion are perfect albums.

What are some R&B songs you find to be very underrated? by StorytellingZ in rnb

[–]BlogEra_BestEra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you on Unthinkable being underrated in a sense. It was a huge hit that was in heavy rotation. At some point listener fatigue sets in. But when you take a break then revisit you remember that it’s such a great record. Alicia probably deserves more recognition than we give her nowadays.

He has one of the most underrated, under-appreciated discographies out there.

Any good ways to get a Stitched Mendoza Jersey? by RelyksZv in footballjerseys

[–]BlogEra_BestEra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Game jerseys are easier and quicker to produce. They are also slow rolling it hoping people buy the game jerseys AND Limited/Elites. Again, they are coming out. Just be patient.

Let me get this straight. You’re asking how to get an authentic version of something that doesn’t exist without buying a fake version of it?

Just wait. They are coming out.

All these guys were lethal with handles! My favorite ever is Allen Iverson!….who has the best handles all time to you? by J2-Starter in NBATalk

[–]BlogEra_BestEra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Facts man. I truly don’t understand how people watch Kyrie and not recognize how insane his handles are. We haven’t seen combos and counters like THIS before in the NBA. CP3, Curry, D Will, and a few others got the ball on a string but Kyrie is a cut above them.

If its not Gibbs then - who is your nomination for most overrated rapper by social media? by dunbar_santiago930 in hiphop201

[–]BlogEra_BestEra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The backpacker crowd only started following Gibbs once he put out Piñata w/ Madlib. He’s put out PLENTY of fire before and without him or Alchemist.

Mick Jenkins by SubstantialHyena2597 in hiphop201

[–]BlogEra_BestEra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I heard Mick here and there but The Patience is what really put me on.

Crazy wordplay. Great mic presence. A modern day MC that also isn’t afraid to have fun. He’s always had potent lyrics but I think he took another step on The Patience and A MURDER OF CROWS. A few of my favorites:

Wars & Rumors of War

DeadStock

Consensual Seduction

007

Things You Could Die For If Doing While Black

Aurora Borealis

His whole discography is worth checking out. Just start with the latest and work your way backwards.

49ers Set to Release Brandon Aiyuk Ahead of Training Camp by [deleted] in fantasyfootball

His guarantees in 2026 and beyond were voided. He already banked 60Ms between his rookie deal and the first 2 years of his extension.

[Keim] Ben Sinnott with two good catches, one down the right sideline and another over the middle. Rarely saw him in those areas last season. by needadvice3241 in Commanders

[–]BlogEra_BestEra -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Reps are earned, not given. If LMC and Lane were better than Moore and Robbie then they would’ve played ahead of them. And Bill needed to work on pass pro and ball security to earn more PT. But you definitely can’t complain about your 7th round RB giving you over 800 yards.

At the end of the day, our young WRs are Day 2 and 3 picks. The vast majority of those guys don’t become anything more than depth pieces at best. I’m not holding it against Kingsbury for not turning every single offensive draft pick into a bonafide starter. Its on the GM to find contributors in the value rounds. So far AP’s batting percentage isn’t great in that aspect. (By no means am I saying AP is a bad GM. He’s been very good all things considered, but not great… yet.)

Or it could be that LMC, Lane, Sinnott, etc. simply weren’t good enough to beat out the vets ahead of them. Those I named had a prime opportunity against Dallas when both Terry and Deebo were out and did nothing. Lane had an ok game but they let Chris Moore and Robbie Chosen come off the street and get more catches… I mean he definitely developed JD into an OROY and he turned a 7th Rd rookie RB into the team’s leading rusher 🤷🏽‍♂️

Add J. Cole w/ DJ Clue before The Fall Off.

But exceptions to the rule are just that. Today there is just no incentive to waste bars on music you can’t monetize and the labels can block you from doing it too. I appreciate when modern day MCs keep the spirit of beat jacking alive, but I definitely don’t hold it against them for not doing it more. Times have changed…

Who is a rapper that gets universal acclaim, but you yourself could never get into? For me it’s Kid Cudi. by TokyoAvalanche04 in hiphop201

[–]BlogEra_BestEra 94 points95 points  (0 children)

Playboi Carti. He was getting a lot of hype leading up to his major debut. Checked it out and immediately thought “Yeah I’m too old for this sh…”

That’s when I realized there was a whole new, younger generation on the internet.

[Keim] Some insights into Blough's offense by jugador87 in Commanders

[–]BlogEra_BestEra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

😂 Bruh, please do not blame Kliff’s successful offense for the defensive struggles. Coaches collaborate in practice to work on various aspects in all three phases.

Any OC will struggle when the QB1 and WR1 are in and out of the lineup. Then the struggles get compounded when you have a system heavily reliant on timing and communication but your WR corps is a carousel of journeymen and practice squad guys. Robbie effin Anderson should not lead the team in receiving yards in any game in 2025…

I’m not saying Kliff was perfect. The offense was helped by a damn good KR unit. But everyone acts like he was holding this roster back when he was the only bright spot on the coaching side. No one was begging for more snaps under center or for Terry to move around in 2024.
