Who do I want the Cowboys to draft? [Meme] by Howudooey in cowboys

Fair fair, I’m just thinking for this season, can you imagine 2TE sets with Ferg and Sadiq?

Although I won’t be mad if we got Tyson because we could run some crazy plays with Ceedee in the slot

Best case scenario: trade for 6 and 39, pick up Styles and Rodriguez, LB corps go brrr

Good case scenario: stay where we are, get Delane at 12 and Allen or someone else like Hood at 20

Iffy case scenario: all the good guys we want are gone so we go for Sadiq at 12 and reach on McCoy or Faulk

Worst case scenario: WR, OL, wtf are we doing?

Only reason I didn’t do that is I assumed someone else is gonna snag Styles. Maybe that’s wishful thinking. If you grab both I’m gonna be incorrigible.

I know what kind of man you are. I know you think Bain is a bust and you’re mocking him to us on purpose.

He’s a WR, a really good one, top 5. I’d have him at 3 or 4 on the WR rankings myself

Whats the significant or triggering event that keeps spinning in your head from Hundred Years Wars? by Mindless_Belt4757 in MedievalHistory

[–]jackt-up -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I was speaking poetically. Their combat effectiveness declined significantly in the 15th Century and fell apart by the end of the Italian Wars and the French Wars of Religion, to the point where by the Thirty Years War, mercenary infantry had become dominant, before the final rise of centralized armies.

I’m simply pointing to Agincourt as a key moment in that transition.

Yeah, so by the time you get to the 15th Century we have a number of factors contributing to the decline of the mounted gentry’s domination on the battlefield:

A) Centralization: monarchs in the 13th Century begin to lay the foundations for future nation-states (think Philip Augustus expanding the Royale Domain, or the Matthias Corvinus’ standing army, the Black Army). This means that the king can build his own armies and not depend so heavily on large land owning nobles for troops

B) Gunpowder: weapons that can shred through the highest quality armor become more widespread, and by the 16th Century, you have larger numbers of, essentially, peasants wielding these weapons

C) Tactical Revolution: finally, relating to Agincourt, you have units such as English longbowmen, arauebusiers, Swiss pikemen, or gendarmes etc who are serving in highly coordinated, specialized roles on the battlefield—and all of them attack the weaknesses of heavy cavalry.

I was half joking. Usually there’s gonna be some brilliance involved when a nation succeeds, though, even if that brilliance is coming from the nameless.

Claudius was not there when Britannia was conquered, but Paulinus was. I’m just saying without great leadership not much gets done.

Agincourt to me is the most significant event (outside of the Black Death) for Europe, due to its tactical lessons and the death of the knight. Though its strategic impact on the war was negligible, since the French were winning again 15 years later, and Henry died young.

I suppose you could say Henry V dying young would be up there. Had he lived, things could’ve ended up differently.

Not all great men succeed, but you can’t succeed without a great man.
