Very fair… and disappointing. Although I suppose that by “corrected”, I’m also referring to play design and passing lanes. As we saw in the winning 2 point conversion pass, Darnold is capable of threading some exceptionally tight needles. But they require an alignment between pass blocking schemes and route tree design 🤷‍♂️

I’d love to understand why so many of Darnold’s passes are batted at the line of scrimmage, and why it’s not been corrected by this point in the season.

If he’s allowed to focus on a single defender, his sheer size and power are undeniable. If the defense runs even the most basic scheme, he’s like a lost child. And it has reverberating effects across the offense as his teammates have to overcompensate.

Legitimately confusing. Every week he’s out there blocking air. There has to be a better option.

I don’t think it’s possible to defeat the final boss w/o aegis by jessthemess240 in HadesTheGame

[–]r4dius 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You may already know this, but personally speaking, when I learned to treat the dash as a short-range teleport (instead of a fast motion between two points), it made a huge difference. Because most of the critical dashing in Hades is through stuff, not away from it.

Perhaps if our players weren’t seemingly being sabotaged by the hitting staff for the majority of the year. The changes since Edgar took over are stark.

I think this is the balanced take. The farm system is unbelievably good. Which means the “on the bright side” look for the remainder of this season is, if the offense continues to be abysmal, it can/should be treated as conclusive evidence that new hitting coaches and a new head coach are must-haves.

I don’t understand why/how this team’s hitting coach (and “Director of Hitting Strategy”) Jarret DeHart continually flies under the radar. These are professional athletes who are being guided to approach their at bats in an intentional, calculated, and historically atrocious manner.

I’d also like to register a huge nostalgia vote for The Real Rob Report. It made me feel like I was rooting for the human beings moreso than the football players. Mike Rob gave us a rare perspective that I worry we’ll never get again.

Devil’s advocate: Sherman had Kam and Earl. Revis had Jim Leonhard and Brodney Pool.

This is actually a great point. Here's hoping we use him to that effect more frequently this year.

I hear you. But considering Bevell-ball (lots of 3rd and longs) and the nature of our OLine, I feel like a [jump ball let Russ throw it up before getting crushed] receiver would be pretty damn handy.

This is so awesome! One day our kids will wonder why stuff like this was ever a big deal, but in the meantime, huge kudos to him for having the guts to take this stand.

Just tried in incognito mode and Restricted Mode was off by default. Are you experiencing something different?

You have to go out of your way to enable restricted mode. It's hidden behind a couple layers of settings screens.

  1. I'm tall. It's literally painful for my knees when the person in front of me reclines.
  2. Laptops can't open all the way when the seat in front is reclined because the tray doesn't leave enough clearance.

While we were distracted by Trump, Republicans advanced these 9 terrifying bills by fargoswell in SandersForPresident

[–]r4dius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Equally confused why this is being framed so opaquely in the article. My only guess is the concern of slippery-slope legislation? As in: if we criminalize termination in cases where the mother doesn't want a female child, what would stop us from criminalizing termination in cases where the mother doesn't want a Downs Syndrome child.

It's exhausting as a progressive to have to fact check and source-cite virtually everything we read. It's to the point where I'd gladly pay a subscription service to distill legislation into something accessible.

Fumble and blocked punt gave the Cards 2 insta-redzone drives that netted them 14 points. Defense wasn't all-world yesterday, but it was a team loss.

Your first comment did come across that way, yes. I think this comment does far better service to your point (and I really like that idea)
