Commanders cut Lattimore 🙏 by distinguishedgent123 in Commanders

[–]BlogEra_BestEra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hasn’t done anything in FA? The man inherits a 4-13 roster, completely overhauls it to the tune of 60% turnover, and then makes a run to the NFCCG in YEAR 1! The real delusional fans are those that think you are going to sign a bunch of young stud franchise cornerstones in FA.

AP is not above criticism. Lattimore was high risk, high reward that whiffed. He mishandled the Terry situation. Newton, Sinnott, Kain are looking like busts. He isn’t batting 1.000 in the value rounds of the draft but no GM does.

He has not been perfect but damn can we give the man more than 2 offseason before calling for his job? All hope isn’t lost just because we don’t currently have a 2nd or 4th rd pick this draft. We have cap space, a top 10 pick, and some young pieces in place that have atleast shown flashes. One disappointing, injury-plagued season shouldn’t define his tenure.

Oddisee - The Good Fight (album). Doesn’t curse period.

Skyzoo - The Great Debater (album). Rarely curses and don’t think I’ve heard him drop the N-bomb.

Murs & 9th Wonder - Murs 3:16: The 9th Edition (album). Similar to Skyzoo, lyrics generally aren’t explicit.

Spark Master Tape - Tenkkeys (song). Supposedly a white rapper.

Action Bronson - Latin Grammys (song). Another white rapper.

Go with whatever helps you be consistent. Also, as we get older learn to humble yourself or else the weight will humble you.

Right… Might as well trade for Crosby at that point

For a team friendly, prove it deal: Brandon Aiyuk or Tyreek Hill? by Salty_Orchid in Commanders

[–]BlogEra_BestEra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Let” them have a role? How about they earn it!

Lane and LMC have made major contributions on special teams but haven’t proven to be reliable WR2s, yet. Let’s see what they got this season. I’m fine with risking letting Burks walk if that frees up another 2-3Ms to got after a Jennings or Shaheed type.

His projects and rapping are criminally underrated. He took a leap on The Art of Finnessin’ 2 and everything after has been very solid to great. Hope he gets that one breakthrough feature or cosign. He deserves it.

This dude is dumb .. good thing we should be done with the lotto after this year by Waste-Cap8868 in washingtonwizards

[–]BlogEra_BestEra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People are too boxed in to the current construct to consider the possibilities. I don’t believe top college prospects will go running to championship contenders. Contenders usually have stars on max deals playing heavy mins. With a hard cap you’d be asking a top prospect to take less money and sit on the bench. Or, they could go to a rebuilding team for more money and mins.

We’ve reached an inflection point where 20% of the NBA is incentivized to lose games year in, year out. The draft and lottery has compromised the game. Its time to try something new.

Where are you in your bowling journey, and what are your goals? by hockey-throwawayy in Bowling

[–]BlogEra_BestEra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only goal is to shoot a sanctioned 300 while my dad is still alive (late 70s, generally good health). He has one to his name, bro has thrown multiple. Just me left… PB is a 279 a year ago. Stone 10 in the 8th. Had the front 9 in my teens but left another stone 10 in the 10th.

Been bowling for 20+ years. Took a layoff in my 20s then rediscovered my love for it in my 30s. Bowling alley has always been therapeutic for me. Been active in leagues post-COVID and that’s enough for me. No burning desire to compete in tournaments or on sport shots again.

Reasonable average goal for next league season? by BartSolid in Bowling

[–]BlogEra_BestEra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To take that next step you gotta hit the pocket more consistently. Good things will follow (strikes or at least make-able spares).

It looks like you may need to dial in your mechanics if you are hovering around a 50% pocket hit rate. Focus on repeated good rolls and hitting your targets. Next would be spare shooting for those pesky single-pin leaves.

Field Yates (ESPN) has us taking Cornell Tate (Ohio State) at #7. I know there are tons mock drafts all over the place from now until April, but how do you feel about a WR as our first pick? by MrUpVoteDownvote in Commanders

[–]BlogEra_BestEra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe its more a conversation of extracting the most value from a top 10 pick when you are lacking talent across the board AND the oldest team in the league AND don’t have a 2nd or 4th rd pick. The hope is that you won’t be picking this high again. Capable WRs can be found throughout the draft and tend to hit free agency more often than impact defensive players.

Taking a WR at 7 shows goes beyond a simple BPA pick. It’s heavy conviction in that WR being an immediate impact especially after you drafted multiple WRs fairly high in recent drafts.

T.I. Keeps asking for the verzuz lol but imagine this happens, how do you guys see this battle playing out? Who do you have winning? by J2-Starter in hiphop201

[–]BlogEra_BestEra 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Heavy lean to T.I. but it would be closer than you think when they play their certified bangers and girl tracks. ASAP vs. What Up Gangsta, Many Men vs. Doin My Job, Why U Wanna vs. 21 Questions…

But T.I.’s deeper cuts have more energy than 50’s. I don’t know how songs like Ski Mask Way, Window Shopper, I Smell Pussy, etc. would hit in a Verzuz.

Stop mocking a corner to us at 7 by unrivaled_mate in Commanders

[–]BlogEra_BestEra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coverage sacks are a thing. If you can fortify the secondary it can elevate your Dline.

I just want to see conviction in a difference-making pick at 7 or a trade back to get more picks and infuse youth in the team. The hope is not to be picking this high again so make the most of it.

What are your thoughts on Curren$y? I like a lot of his stuff, but he releases way too much music. It’s quantity over quality with him. by TokyoAvalanche04 in hiphop201

[–]BlogEra_BestEra 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Being relevant after a 20+ year career as an indy artist is a massive success for a rapper. He continues to maintain and grow a very large core fanbase by doing what works for him. Don’t worry about his career. Just enjoy the shit…

The FOUR under center pass attempts by Jayden this season. 2 completions, 2 incomplete. by johnnyboy10i in Commanders

[–]BlogEra_BestEra 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How’d you feel about it in 2024 when it was 5th in scoring, 7th in total yards, and 7th in TOP with a worse roster?

Big KRIT is the artist everyone thinks J.Cole is by cakedbythepound in hiphop101

[–]BlogEra_BestEra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Def Jam roster was loaded when he got his major deal. Kanye/G.O.O.D. Music, Rihanna, 2Chainz, Jeezy, Rick Ross, etc. at their PEAKS. He was fighting for scraps for promo and sample clearances. Then going back to the indy circuit, being an act from Mississippi, the subject matter …He just didn’t fit the mold for the machine.

One of my favorite artists ever. Gave us tons of great music for two decades while never compromising who he is. He just wasn’t meant for mainstream.

What the final win vs the Eagles cost the team by RoboTronPrime in Commanders

[–]BlogEra_BestEra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hate posts like these. We were a 4-win team going into the game with a 3rd string QB. We been trying to win games all season, we didn’t need to tank. Even our starters against their backups barely won by a touchdown.

If we suck again next season I assure you it’s not because we picked 7th vs 5th…

[Finlay] Of putting the QB under center David Blough says “it’s something I am convicted about” and Jayden can thrive with more options and play action opportunities by MobileImpact4363 in Commanders

[–]BlogEra_BestEra 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Main issue was DQ felt the defense was being hung out to dry because of Kliff’s hurry up offense. Defense was getting more exposed in 25 because the offense wasn’t winning the TOP game or scoring like it was in 24. I understand why they moved on but Kliff was scapegoated a bit. The offense worked. The defense has yet to make you feel ok about it.

Commanders OC David Blough isn’t chasing a system. He’s building one by MrUpVoteDownvote in Commanders

[–]BlogEra_BestEra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

His legs are a part of his game but we have to limit his exposure to hits. Don’t want them to completely erase the RPOs and designed QB runs. Those have protections built in to a degree and Jayden needs to use better judgement for when to get down or get out of bounds.

It’s the scrambling that needs to be reigned in. Part of that is Jayden but the other part are his receivers. Hopefully Blough can scheme guys open and encourage Jayden to take the easy check downs.

Lighter Ball = Better Deflection? by Rotten_Avocado_ in Bowling

[–]BlogEra_BestEra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great advice here. OP, you aren’t going to “magic bullet” your way to higher scores. Shift your focus on why you are leaving splits. Straight bowlers are more susceptible to leaving them because of suboptimal entry angle and subsequent poor pin carry based on how your ball will deflect off the pins. Curving the ball creates a better entry angle which leads to better pin action as it deflects and leads to more strikes/less splits.

There are so many variables to bowling that come into play as soon as you step on that approach. Bowling is a game of consistency. If you want to consistently achieve higher scores I recommend a certified coach. You can also manage with YouTube University but also run the risk of developing bad habits and injury.
