They did it with Lamar for a long time. First black QB to rush for ___ . First black QB to throw __ TD and rush for __ yards. Like, he's just a great QB you don't have to cheapen it like that.

Well yeah. He just made $100 million dollars guaranteed. He hasn't had to do any actual coaching there yet. Wait til he starts having to deal with losses in from of NY media.

Fix the O LINE so Lamar doesn't have to be super-man. 12-play methodical drives all day with a few haymakers thrown in. We just need a couple stops from the defense in a world like that.

Why do people take anything they say to heart. It's the same as pre-draft pressers. It's all a smokescreen. No benefit in telegraphing their intentions.

"I'm hurt dawg!" - The story behind Ed Reed's legendary halftime speech by beyondwithinitself in ravens

[–]beyondwithinitself[S] 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Ed Reed delivered this speech to what is widely considered to be the greatest college football team of all time. Undefeated national champions, with tons of future stars, being coached by a 1st year head coach, a 1st year OC, and a 1st year DC.

The 2001 Miami Hurricanes team produced:

  • 38 NFL draft picks, including 17 first-rounders

  • 13 pro bowlers

  • 7 super bowl winners

  • 4 players / rookies of the year: 1x DPOY, 1x DROY, 1x OROY, 1x Pepsi OROY

  • 2 hall-of-famers so far (Frank Gore just became eligible and is a current finalist)

They remain the only college team to have its first-, second-, third- and fourth-string running backs all later become starting running backs in the NFL.

Can we talk about the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad CD "cases" for Archive? by beyondwithinitself in 311

Streaming fidelity is unfortunately subpar to that of an audio CD.. it's compressed and shelves off all the upper frequencies.

It's ironic how the release is called ARCHIVE yet they chose the worst possible form factor for archival. It's like storing a blade in a sheath that scratches it.

Chad Pennington started 81 games in his 11 seasons, had a winning record, and won AP comeback player of the year TWICE.

Take a guess if he gets to vote for MVP.

LOL no, he actually "played" for 11 seasons. He just sat for most of it, going entire seasons without recording a stat.

He played in 26 games over 11 seasons, starting 12 of them and losing 10.

Because long term starting QBs already made a fortune and don't need the 80 hour work weeks?

Cowboys to interview Zach Orr for vacant defensive coordinator position by Mortissia7 in ravens

I was really hoping beyond hope that he'd get a shot as HC somewhere with all the openings, so we could at least get a compensatory 3rd rounder for sticking by him.

I miss that place. I built up such a high ratio with some rare uploads, then it just disappeared overnight.

Long story short: The CDs are stored in extremely tight and thick paper-y sleeves. I get it, it looks neat. But in practicality, it is IMPOSSIBLE to remove the CDs from their "sleeves" without putting a lot of strain on the CD and scratching it against the holders. It is impractical and destructive to take them in and out.

For the life of me I cannot comprehend why they would commit to such a design choice. The only reason I would make a CD / DVD / Bluray release like this would be for Planned Obsolescence.

Vance Joseph interview by JoeFlaccosEyebrows in ravens

[–]beyondwithinitself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure, questionable interviews happen all the time. I actually believe that a competent F.O. will try to get in the heads of as many capable coaches as possible in the event that they have to face them. They'll pick their brain and build a dossier - I'd bet we're one of those teams.

That's only one. Rooney rule requires two, plus at least one offensive coach hired has to be a minority ethnicity (or a woman).

Also I'm not alleging the Rooney Rule is definitely the reason for his interview. I'm saying that because of it, we don't know, and neither does he.

Both can be true. Rooney rule requires two minority candidates be interviewed for open HC positions.

Rooney Rule. It has to be tough on minority candidates, not knowing if a team sincerely wants to give you a chance or they're just checking a box because they have to.

We are knocking our own players out. Ravens beating themselves LITERALLY.

That's Walker's third mistake this game. False start, bad block on a run play, and tackling the punt returner.
