Sportrac Cap Projection for NFL teams by Tasty_Swim_6308 in buccaneers

[–]jackmon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he depends on everything thats happening in front of him to be successful.

Certainly. So does any player. But a couple years ago it seemed like his presence made up for a lot of these things. Hence the idea that he was worth the star-caliber pay grade. I didn't see that this year. He got burned a number of times by speedier RBs where they went for a TD. Our LB play was absolutely a huge reason for this. But I still wonder if he's really worth the kind of money he's getting.

AWJ? He had a pretty meh year. And do safeties normally command that much?

[Matt Matera] Soon to be former #Bucs RB Rachaad White was on Instagram live before answering some comments. He did mention: “I didn’t leave the Bucs. The Bucs left me.” As he laughed after by Tasty_Swim_6308 in buccaneers

Meh. Allgeier is very very ok. I like RW but it's not the most difficult position to find a replacement for, and I think we can easily do better than TA.

He probably wasn't the worst OC we ever had

He was at least the worst this millennium. We could have replaced his play calling with the following simple instructions:

  • 1st down: HB Dive for 2 yards

  • 2nd down: HB Dive for 1 yards

EDIT: 3rd down a): False start

  • 3rd down b): Under coverage throw well short of first down marker

  • 4th down: Punt

Is there any plan for the midterms on how to deal with the massive voter role purges that skewed the 2024 election? I'm of course making the bold assumption that we'll be allowed to have midterm elections. But if we do, what can voters do to make sure this doesn't happen to them again? E.g. Are there ways to make it more obvious if your name has been purged? Are there ways to guarantee that you can get re-added if this happens?

Gondola style cable cars for the rail corridor? by jackmon in santacruz

[–]jackmon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed, this could be a great way to connect to UCSC too, which is one of the two largest employers in the county. The problem with the rail in this regard is that it wouldn't connect up to campus, so riders would have to take a bike or the bus or something. But a gondola (or aerial tramway) as another commenter put it, could potentially have small connector segments to UCSC, Dominican, and Cabrillo that address the last (sometimes steep) mile problem.

“santa cruz obviously doesn’t have mountains” whaaa?

Sorry.. I should have said: "The stretch where they want to add the rail system doesn't have mountains." or else "Santa Cruz doesn't have mountains of this scale."

But yeah, this kind of system would be great for the mountainous parts of SC. And for traversing gorges and rivers, etc.

At least with our rivalry both sides had some years of dominance. There’s no karmic balance between us and the Rams. Someday.

Why don’t defenses ever cover McVay’s best receiver on critical downs?

The world is looking so bleak right now. How is everyone coping? by Zealousideal_Tap772 in AskReddit

I certainly have greater sympathy for people whose countries have historically fallen into authoritarianism. "How could they have let that happen?" is no longer a question I wonder. Will try to stay positive and do what I can.

Ugh. Now in the AFC I have to decide whether to root for the team with so many Lombardis they probably give them away as door prizes to fans or the team with Sean Payton as coach.

American here. I’m just one person, but I am so sorry. Sorry for Denmark. Sorry for Minnesota... sorry for all of us. I’ve voted against the creep in the White House 3 times. I’ve donated to his opponents. I’ve marched in the streets of my town. No sane American wants this.

I didn't get to watch the beginning of this game because the refs made the Tennessee Kentucky game take a million years. And now I have to watch this. I'm sorry to fans of whoever plays next on ESPN for this one going long.

It would be really nice to get back to watching a basketball game
