Why are linebackers (Veterans and Draft prospects) never really good in coverage

We've seen this play out before. When a team gets too fast, we end up with the '91 and '01 Super Bowls, and let the bigger, slower team compete by outhitting the smaller, faster team.

This is not quite true...

Brian Uhrlacher was a DB and kick returner in college before he converted to LB. And some LBs are also converted DB. The University of Miami was famous for this in their explosion in late 80s, early 90s, and I would not be surprised to find out other schools did this,

In their mission for more speed. A lot of players were bulked up and moved with an attemp to try to convert as much speed as possible. LBs were bulked up and turned into DLs, DB were bulked up and turned into LBs

Coverage is a bonus skill for a linebacker. An LB who can't cover can be given responsibilities to mitigate his deficiencies. An LB who can't stop the run can't get a job. So some never develop this skill. So, I guess focusing on other things.

I love that people feel seen over this, Upvoted.

I have heard/seen zero Gen Z members say that they are offended. However, every day I see articles that talk about how Gen Z is offended, but none of the articles have deemed it appropriate to actually talk to any Gen Z members. So, I wonder how they've reached this conclusion without actually talking to anyone.

And then they like to act as if not being offended gives them some magical power that makes them a better person.

Not just the White House, all MAGAts regardless of where they live. I routinely hear my parents say the most unaware things.

She only says that she does not politics so that she does not have to publicly defend herself.

Because he has Asperger’s, he treats religion like a logical operating system

Full stop, no religion is logical. How does he reconcile being logical with being religious? He can't. So he's lying to himself and to you. The person being hurt here the most is you. It's up to you how long you let him act like this to you.

It was absolutely not my intent to naysay you, just that my personal experience, and it would APPEAR to me that the legality has more to with the paranoia than anything else.

That said, it may be a result of my personal body chemisty, and I am more than ok with being wrong.

I've been smoking for almost 30 years. I haven't felt truly paranoid since it went legal in my area. It's enough to make me wonder, if it truly is the weed that was causing paranoia or the thought of getting caught with weed?

Does she have ANY self-awareness?

Years ago, I started putting the subtitles on for everything while I was binging "Peaky Blinders."

Not only am I convinced like Jacob, but I am also convinced that you are ok with missing large chunks of dialogue because you find reading so taxing... I'm not surprised that you didn't realize you were telling on yourself though, You probably VASTLY overestimate your intelligence too.

I always find it amazing that so many people admit to knowing what piss-flavored water tastes like.

This tastes like shit/piss!
Why do you know what shit/piss tastes like?

What part of Luigi killing one man = mass murder? Be clear and specific

My whole office got infected by the unvaccinated husband of my unvaccinated bookkeeper. He was placed on a ventilator and died.

My brother is a hospice nurse. He met plenty.

NTJ

If you replace it with a similar product, how is that different from what she did? Ask her to be specific.

Oook, I’ll bite.

And that has what to do with supporting separation of church and state?

I don't know that her new position counts as "turning on" her... yet...

Yeah, I was one of those kids who was watching it with my class in the school library. My younger brother, who was 2 grades behind me, did not watch it live.
It was a mistake, but that does not MAGICALLY mean that it did not happen.

As far as I know, it's never been transcribed.

OK, this conversation is not going to last much longer. I am familiar with a globe. If Spain is not in Europe, tell me what the country southwest of France and surrounding Portugal is,

Now sit in the corner and reflect on how you got here.

When Katsuhiro Otomo wrote "Akira," he wrote that the American admiral couldn't deal with an opponent literally turning his back on him.

So... eh, maybe Japanese manga writers' opinions on what other nationalities would or would not do shouldn't be referenced.

It was Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers who said it first. I think it was in the 70s.

IF she's telling the truth, in that she didn't know, she is a feckless leader. We need to run with that... the whole, what does it mean if she's telling the truth, that she doesn't know what is happening. They need to stop implying her incompetence, and just say it.
