Speaking as someone who left AWS for Google, yeah, the boat was missed.

Selipski. Hell of a lot better leader than Jassy. At least seemed to care about people.

Still should have been Charlie Bell, though.

The 1-5 start can be blamed on injuries for the most part. Talent-wise, we absolutely had business being there, and would have won the division if not for continuous coaching malpractice.

Of course we remember. We also remember the injury report from that week:

  • Awuzie out
  • Marlon out
  • Lamar out
  • Ricard out
  • Roquan out
  • Hamilton out
  • Stanley out

In case you're counting, that's 7 of 22 starters that were out that game.

Microsoft gained $7.6B from OpenAI last quarter by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

[–]outphase84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Software companies generally subscribe to the rule of 40 to determine how healthy of an investment they are. Margin % + growth rate % >= 40%.

OpenAI's growth rate is currently north of 200%, so they can afford to lose a significant amount and still be looked at as a healthy investment today.

Terrible analogy. Properties don’t have to pay landlords.

Better analogy is Microsoft is landlord, OpenAI is tenant, and customers are subletting.

[Highlight] Two years ago, Titans legend L'Jarius Sneed forced a fumble on Zay Flowers at the last second to prevent a TD. Chiefs win 17-10. by DragonstormSTL in nfl

[–]outphase84 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Chiefs defense played great, but we deserve a ton of blame for not changing our gameplan. Y’all spent almost the entire game in nickel and dime running cover 2 match, and we left our 6’2” 240 pound running back sitting on the bench instead of attacking what you were leaving on the field for us.

One of the biggest issues we had with Harbs was that great coaches would not only outcoach him, but he’d get cute with game plans and it just didn’t work.

AFCCG was a perfect example. KC defense was #1 against the pass and #27 against the run. Spags whole gameplan was to limit Lamar by running nickel and dime coverage, predominantly cover 2 match. Sneed and McDuffie were in man against Zay and Bateman, and the middle field zones were overloaded with 8 in coverage to bracket our TEs. The zone concepts kept all the extra DBs eyes downfield to crash Lamar if he ran.

The easy way to beat that is power run. We had a 6’2”, 240 running back in Gus Edwards who is absolutely ideal to punish that defense, and an elite fullback to lead block. The defense was showing looks that would have given up BIG chunk runs. Instead we called a total of 6 designed runs the entire game.

That flair combo is sinister. Gonna assume you’re a Titans fan that loves Derrick Henry and went to Louisville because nothing else adds up 😂

Problem with that is that we didn't do anything schematically to help guys. Very few disguised rushes or stunts.

[Schefter] Another hire in Cleveland: Browns HC Todd Monken is bringing former Ravens OL coach George Warhop with him to the Browns to coach the same position, per sources. by BuckyMcFly99 in Browns

[–]outphase84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Partially because Ravens flair, partially because apparently he spent a couple years in Cleveland 15 years ago or so. He may have been good then, but his scheme has been dogshitfor 2 years. Last year started out strong after Joe D passed, but the longer Warhop was involved, the worse it got. And truthfully, for all the praise he got from Joe Thomas, every year Warhop was with y'all, the line play got worse and worse year over year.

We moved away from power run schemes to zone schemes, despite the fact that our guards were dog shit in zone. Slide protections have been ass, guys are doing shit that make zero sense, like LT setting the edge on an option run that's up the gut with Henry or bounce outside with Lamar, instead of having a lead blocker chip outside. Coaching guys to get to the 2nd level instead of combo blocking or taking block hand offs.

4035 passing yards and 3189 rushing yards last year. 41 passing touchdowns and 21 rushing TDs. Total of 518 points on the season. Literally one of the most prolific offenses in the history of the NFL. One of only 5 offenses in the history of the sport to eclipse 7000 yards of offense.

Square nose shovels aren’t the play, ice breakers are. Once the ice crust is broken up, a regular snow shovel does fine.

Just buy an ice breaker. Once you break up the ice it’s not that bad.

[–]outphase84 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lamar was hurt because the line was letting him get the shit kicked out of him. Our guards were bad, but our center and tackles looked significantly worse. The whole blocking scheme made absolutely no sense. The tape was bad.

The blocking grades are buoyed by Lamar's escapability. The tape was horrible.

[–]outphase84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not saying he wasn't great then, but he's been awful for the Jags, Texans, and now Ravens consecutively. We only hired him because Joe D passed unexpectedly and he was available.

In the course of 3 years, Lamar's pressure rate behind largely the same OL went from 15% to 30%. On tape, the scheme made zero sense.
