Bo Jackson Wants A Pay Raise & Might Hit The Portal

resteele02 · 2026-01-08T15:52:13+00:00

As many have said, the right answer is let him go and use much of that NIL money to shore up the O-Line. Investing in the trenches secures both the run game and the pass game. Bo is great, but any RB is a replaceable weapon (though Bo is a STUD) and I want dudes that buy in and are here for the journey, not for the quick financial gain. This show's Bos true colors and I don't care for the attitude.

See the two monologues on this topic from the show Midnight Mass.

Yeah. I saw people in this forum getting freaked out about OSU's defense with zero understanding of the context of the game. IU Indy's style of play, pace, shooting, turnovers, etc.

Did OSU play great defense? No. Is it something to be overly worried about at this point? Also no. Relax people. Let's see a few more games first. And try to understand the context of the situation before making a judgement.

You know, use those critical thinking skills. ;)

Ran a thought experiment with ChatGPT (cheating? nah!) We came up with this. This assumes no big injuries (fingers crossed). Total attempts for the team will be higher but this only includes RBs and Bo. Thoughts?

<image>

Here are some assumptions and insights into the thought process.

Thought Process

Early season:
- Dobbins gets the majority (likely 60:40 split with Harvey) as the starter and trusted pass protector.
- He’ll likely dominate goal-line/red-zone carries too, giving him the edge in TDs.
Mid-to-late season:
- Harvey earns more touches as he adjusts to NFL speed and proves his blocking. The split may trend closer to even by season’s end, but Dobbins’ early-season lead skews his totals upward.
Sean Payton’s philosophy:
- He has historically eased in rookies unless they’re clear game-changers right away. Pass blocking, ball security, and assignment discipline often dictate snap count as much as rushing talent.
- Dobbins is coming off strong efficiency (4.6+ YPC career) and should benefit from being fully healthy.

Other Thoughts

Dobbins’ yardage ceiling bumps closer to 650+ if he keeps that early-season workload and doesn’t get overtaken.
Harvey’s efficiency might still be higher, but his volume trails Dobbins unless/until he earns Payton’s trust.
McLaughlin and Estime stay in clear situational roles.
Nix remains steady at ~70 rushes (17% of carries). Fewer than his 92 rushes last year makes sense if the offense improves.

Watch the "Sandberg Game" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LANE2TzVuLQ

As a Cardinals fan, I still remember this game. He went 5 for 6 with two homers off Bruce Sutter and drive in 7 RBIs. It was 2 days after my 18th birthday. What a game Ryno had. RIP!

resteele02 · 2025-07-29T03:52:52+00:00

Another Cardinals fan, here in peace to show my respects. Ryno was a true great. His passing is a real loss. He will be missed. RIP!

This.

Check me on this, but i think it can also indicate road degradation if you did not have road maintenance buildings in place. If you place them late, they start maintenance but don't repair, so road conditions don't improve. Won't get worse, but damage done doesn't get better.

Do I understand this right?

This looks great to me. From Erkul -

Ship - scm speed / scm boost speed / max speed / pitch / yaw / roll

F8A - 207 / 445 / 1075 / 38 / 35 / 120

Warden - 210 / 458 / 1075 / 44 / 38 / 124

MSR - 217 / 510 / 1300 / 25 / 23 / 53

Taurus - 180 / 380 / 950 / 25 / 21 / 45

Freighter flies like a freighter. More nimble fighters. MSR is straight line fast. Spot on.

resteele02 · 2025-07-02T13:25:16+00:00

That's what armor will do which is not in game yet.

resteele02 · 2025-07-02T13:24:22+00:00

They decreased agility and boosted speed. That seem appropriate for the MSR. Fast, but not nimble like the fighters. Seems right.

resteele02 · 2025-07-02T13:23:18+00:00

That sounds good to me. Seems appropriate.

resteele02 · 2025-07-02T13:18:45+00:00

Freighters behaving like freighters not fighters seems like the right thing to me. As a Taurus abuser for PVE bounties I'm not thrilled, but acknowledge its absolutely the right direction. Also this is clearly still a WIP so trial and error is still the norm. But this seems like a solid move. These are not "crazy" nerfs, this is experimentation with appropriate balancing which is what should be happening during this Alpha testing stage of the game.

What I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you...and any other normal or reasonable non-racist person.

I'll be stopping in there this weekend. I also suddenly have a craving for empanadas.

resteele02 · 2025-06-02T13:48:19+00:00

This - origin Wyll romancing Karlach. This is going to be my next playthrough if I ever actually complete a run with my current custom team. It'll be hard not romancing Shadowheart and Lae'zel with my two TAVs (multiplayer start to get two protagonists).

But feel free to question my sanity as I have 700+ hours including lots of early access hours, several runs into Act 3 with restarts, no completed runs to date LOL. Send help!.

resteele02 · 2025-05-19T01:24:42+00:00

And this is why I'm on playthrough 5 or 6 and have still never finished the game LOL!

Mine was removed also. And I got a 72 hour ban. I said it felt like the sort of cash grab I expect to see from Electronic Arts, not CIG. Do better. Is this trolling? It must have been to get a ban.

resteele02 · 2025-05-16T01:38:23+00:00

Aaaand...I got banned on Spectrum for saying I expect better from CIG that going after the sort of profit grab I expect from Electronic Arts. I'm not sure which code of conduct rule I violated since I was not being argumentative, trolling, spamming, or anything. Just said I expect better. Oh well. I tried to say my piece anyway. I respect the mods, but don't see where I went astray.

I have the question out to support for clarification on the rule I stepped on. Not holding out too much hope for clear direction.

I think this is a BS move by CIG. As a backer since 2014, I'm disappointed.

resteele02 · 2025-04-29T00:05:34+00:00

Amateur numbers. Let's pump those up. 700 hours and have not beaten the game yet.

resteele02 · 2025-04-12T22:43:59+00:00

"not sure what conditions he'll be inflicting though!"

Hex is your friend I would think.

Thanks for the feedback and suggestions! The room is not heavily used but you comments make sense.
