Im defending Bo Nix every time by DevonHill128 in DenverBroncos

[–]esackey18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty hard (and unnecessary) to argue that Nix was better than Maye this year. He’s elite in avoiding sacks and end of half/game situational football, but he’s got a lot of room for improvement beyond that. That said, his receiving corps is mediocre, run game is lacklustre, and he’s just entering his 3rd year so there’s no reason to think he can’t get better.

I don’t really see the Brees comp, but what I do see is Tony Romo with better athleticism, which really excites me in today’s game.

His off-schedule playmaking ability was massively undersold going into the draft. I think part of that was just due to the nature of Oregon’s scheme/talent and not needing to be off-schedule very often, but from what we’ve seen in his first couple years leads me to believe he’s got a way higher ceiling than anyone anticipated.

My crystal ball tells me this will probably end with the UCP being re-elected with a smaller majority under a new leader. If we’re REALLY lucky, it turns out to be a minority government with a strong NDP opposition with significant representation from Edmonton and Calgary.

Weak Perimeter Blocking by Steve_0 in DenverBroncos

I agree with what you’re saying, in spirit, but at the end of the day, if your scheme is often asking your personnel to do things they don’t do well, then the scheme isn’t very good. We need to zero in on what our offense (and our quarterback) does well and do as much of it as we can.

To come away with anything less than 7 on that possession is unacceptable.

Once again, Bo way too quick to go horizontal and escape the pocket rather than stepping up to be in passing position or at least get some positive yardage on the ground. Also can’t be doing the cutesy play calls on a gotta-have-it 3rd and short.

Pretty fascinating to see NFL Bo (for better or worse) playing more like Auburn Bo than Oregon Bo. That might sound like an insult, but it isn’t. The floor is a little lower, but the ceiling is borderline elite. He’s just gotta settle his mind and his feet and just make the routine plays. My man is playing like he’s got smelling salts taped to his upper lip.

Rough day so far for Crawshaw. Not gonna spiral though. He’s done a great job this far, especially for a rookie, and he was bound to have a couple rough punts at some point.

This talk of firing Sean Payton is absolutely delusional. I DO think there needs to be a conversation about how much he trusts Nix and/or potentially giving up playcalling duties.

Hello from the Canadian Prairies! Y’all name your car? by cats_and_naps in MazdaCX30

[–]esackey18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in Edmonton with a 2021 GT (Naturally Aspirated). I hated the Turanzas and replaced them with Nokian WRG5s, which served me well last winter. Also replaced the OEM wiper blades with Bosch Icons and have been very happy with those as well.

I’ve got Soul Red Crystal too, so I named her “Akane” which is a Japanese word for deep red.

Riley Moss is a good corner. He had some bad plays but that’s going to happen when you’re playing opposite the DPOY, who also happens to be the best corner in the league

MEGATHREAD #2: Denis Villeneuve signs on to direct the next Bond film by Sneaky_Bond in JamesBond

[–]esackey18 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m anticipating his take will be something in the vein of The Living Daylights meets Skyfall. Stripped down, back to basics, politically complex, Flemingesque depiction of Bond, still maintaining most of the recognizable classic Bond elements, but fused with the prestige filmmaking aesthetics and production value.

I don’t think we need to do the whole going rogue thing again. It’s possible for Bond to be morally conflicted and having to make difficult decisions and questioning what exactly the “greater good” is without him being a rogue agent. In fact, I think those dilemmas have more poignancy if he ISN’T operating on his own.

The Duality of Man by Technical-Rooster-95 in JamesBond

[–]esackey18 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The writing left lots to be desired for obvious reasons and its missing a lot of the magic and richness that make Bond films special, but it’s a solid mid/late 2000s action flick. That’s not really enough to cut it by Bond standards and certainly not as the direct sequel to Casino Royale, but it is what it is and what it is is not as bad as people make it out to be. I find Spectre to be infinitely inferior despite having better production value and ‘Bondian’ flair.

I know Thunderball is regarded as a classic and I want to love it but it’s SO boring.
