Cleveland Browns (Factory of Sadness)


You have to keep your best trade chip healthy in case they decide to rebuild via the draft...again.

And is it really rebuilding if you have never even seen the summit?

Big Ten and other Conference Expansion

You guys really think they are doing this to save the B1G or because they are the only ones smart enough to see something no one else does? Tsun is all of a sudden the grown up in the room of institutions?

They are posturing. They are trying to make a better cut for themselves. Look at the language they are using, it's rhetoric and it's aimed at deal terms not the question of doing it or not.

Acker said Michigan hired third-party "consultants and banks," including the multinational financial institution Barclays,

Barclays has been the "multinational financial institution" of rouge nation states, criminal organizations and narco's since forever.

If you paid them to consult, hopefully it was for a solution to money laundering problems.

NFL Discussion (Official Thread)

Sure.



2 of those 4 should be pretty easy for any NFL QB.

The other 2 take awareness, time and chemistry. The former Justin has shown little of at times. Physically for a good NFL QB they should be routine. But that means little without the presnap processing to execute, which now raises the level of completion difficulty.

But that isn't the point though, is it? The point was to invite a "yes" in it's most simple form. Then to use that affirmation as the crux or focal point as your "winning" piece to your attempted argument.

Can and should Justin fields hit half of those 4 throws? Yes.

Would that somehow increase his production to make him an average to above average NFL QB? No.


Like I said, I'll touch base at a later time.
I'm not talking about Justin.

Listen, you're being a dick because you're assuming my argument, then smugly replying to what you think that argument is. And more often than not, you're wrong about the assumption. Case in point.....when you thought I was making the argument that Tyreek Hill made Mahomes, when I was just using his departure as a point in time because I didn't feel like looking up the exact moment when the Chiefs moved from a fun to watch offense to the Mickey Mouse bullshit it is now.

Are those throws easy or hard? They're easy. So when you say he's "throwing the ball well for an HBack".......is he? He's making completions. He's getting yards. His team is scoring points. But is he actually throwing it well? I can barely stomach watching his games anymore, so specifically for the Detroit one I had to rely on the highlights. In those highlights, I'd say he threw a good handful of balls "well"......but (and this is without looking it up so PLEASE excuse me if I'm not dead on accurate with the fucking percentage) more often than not the ball was moving because of simple no read throws, HBack type scrambling, and bogus penalty yards (of which, I'll have to ignore the fact that a lot of his production comes after a bullshit call that would've ended a drive because it's impossible to quantify....but I would argue exists).


PS - reading tone is hard on the internet, but I wasn't being to a dick to any post of yours except one.....and it was neither of those.

OK. Now that you're done talking about Fields, those plays with the names.......easy or hard?

I'll save you some time if you want. They're easy.



Again.....I'm not being a dick to you.

Sure.

It's not closed minded strawman bullshit to say those throws are easy throws.

James Franklin (HC Virginia Tech)

Because the company is also signing deals with individual players......and if the program craters because the coach is losing games, those deals with individual players become a bigger waste of money than $50 million.

Just an uneducated guess.

Apparel companies have continued to sponsor awful teams and the players on them for ever.

It's like recruiting, the short term wins and losses don't change brand values.

Unless the coach does something toxic off field no sponsor is going to tell a school to fire the coach and if they did, they school would tell them to fuck off (assuming they didn't want to actually fire him). They'd just go do a deal with the competition.

This reminds me most of when Phil Mickelson switched golf gear ( I forget what brand to what brand) if the new company would pay off his gambling debts. This was something PSU was doing no matter what, if they happened to have some new cash then so be it but the giver of the cash didn't cause the debt.

Game Thread tOSU at Wisconsin, Sat. Oct. 18th, 3:30 pm ET, CBS

Login to view embedded media

On winning a game on the road​

  • "A different experience."
  • "A great experience."
  • "It can bring you together. You have to focus a little bit more when you're on the road. All those things are good for the growth of the team."

On Ohio State continuing to improve​

  • "What we did last week means absolutely zero."
  • "What matters is what we put in this week."
  • "It's really the things that aren't flashy. You can't get bored with doing the same thing over and over and over again. That's the whole idea of chopping wood and carrying water. It goes right back to your technique. It goes right back to your pad level. It goes right back to your focus, to your effort. Nothing new or extraordinary, but that's, I think, in the end, what will separate us, is if we continue to stay focused and do the same things over and over again but get more efficient and get better at them."

On Ohio State's leadership this season​

  • "When your best players and your leaders and your hardest workers and the coaches are willing to hold those guys accountable — it's easy to yell at the third-string cornerback or whoever, the scout team guys. But when you're pushing the guys who are the leaders and the biggest contributors and the guys performing on the field, it holds everybody accountable."
  • "All parts of the growth of the team."
  • "We're halfway in now, and there's a lot of things we got to get better at, but to your point, the leadership has been strong so far this season."

On where Ohio State can improve​

  • Day said Ohio State's players know where they can improve.
  • "We only get better by being uncomfortable."
  • "The minute anybody feels comfortable in the building, that's a bad sign."
  • "We have to fight against complacency."

On Ohio State's run game​

  • "I do think we've been efficient."
  • "I'd certainly like to see more explosive ones."
  • Day said he's been stressing the importance of Ohio State's running backs breaking tackles, making people miss and fighting for extra yards.

On Ohio State's slower offensive pace this season​

  • Ohio State has averaged 60 plays a game during its 6-0 start.
  • Day said college football's pace of play has changed in recent years, transitioning from faster-paced, no-huddle schemes to slower-paced, huddle schemes.
  • "We're not trying to do that. Feel free to get first downs and keep the thing moving. But we're gonna try to make sure we're dictating the tempo the way we feel best. But ultimately, it comes down to efficiency in the game. We want to be explosive. We certainly always want to score points when we're on the field. We'll continue to work different tempos and make sure we're being efficient, but that's the most important thing."

On Julian Sayin's growth​

  • "I think Julian is seeing things well."
  • Day said Sayin has reached a point where he can share what he likes and doesn't like in Ohio State's game plan.
  • "I really am impressed with what he and the quarterbacks and Billy Fessler do in the meeting room. I'm in there daily listening to the preparation. I can tell when I go into the meeting, they've already put a bunch of film work in, they've done a bunch of it, because he already knows the answers. That's a good sign for a quarterback."

On whether Illinois had success while running tempo​

  • "They did hit a couple of plays on the tempo, so we'll make sure we're getting lined up and doing a good job with that."
  • "There's give and take to everything. You want to play in tempo? That means the game is gonna be a little bit longer and more plays."
  • "Everyone has to make their decisions, but it's our job to make sure we're lining up and playing fast."

On Jermaine Mathews Jr.'s performance against Illinois​

  • Day said Mathews has "good short-area quickness."
  • "He's competitive. He's tough. He's got a good sense for the ball, kind of a baller. When you see him make plays like that, it's just exciting to watch."
  • Day said Ohio State is "hoping to get Lorenzo (Styles Jr.) back in this game," but if the Buckeyes need to move Mathews inside, they will.
  • "When a guy can play inside or outside, it's a little bit harder to identify sometimes what coverage we're in."
  • Day said Caleb Downs, Sonny Styles, Arvell Reese and Matthews "can do multiple things." Day called players like them "a defensive coordinator's dream."

On whether AI has impacted game planning​

  • Day said he believes there will be a time when AI helps teams put game plans together.
  • “We’re not quite there yet."
  • Day said Ohio State has used AI for analytics and data tracking. They’ll look for ways to use it to their advantage.
  • Day said Ohio State will be "all over it" if and when AI can give teams an advantage.

On Wisconsin​

  • "I've been impressed watching their film on defense."
  • "I think they probably feel like their backs are against the wall."
  • "We got to expect their best shot."
  • "There's a great environment there. Camp Randall always is a difficult place to play."
  • "It is about us, but we got to make sure we know our opponent. It's all about preparation."

On Wisconsin linebacker Tackett Curtis, the Badgers' defensive front​

  • "Tackett Curtis is a guy we recruited. He was a really good player. He's very athletic and can go sideline to sideline."
  • "I think they're a good defense. I really do."
  • Day said Wisconsin's rushing defense impresses him.
  • "We got to come in and certainly get a fast start."

On whether Ohio State will be at full strength vs. Wisconsin​

  • "I think. I think."
  • "Go get it. Go get this win, man. Let's go. Everything we got, and then we have a chance to heal up for a week and go from there."
  • "We got to recover, get healthy and then go play hard on Saturday."
  • "I feel like we'll have a full group ready to roll."

On the potential for inclement weather in Madison​

  • "It's all about your focus."
  • "Just adapting."
  • "You got to handle it better than your opponent. That's the bottom line."
  • "We just got to handle it."
  • "It's part of the game. Just something we got to handle."
  • "It's an outdoor game, just gotta figure out.

On whether Ohio State will participate in the "Jump Around" tradition​

  • "If guys want to jump, they can jump, I don't know," Day said with a laugh.
  • "Just make sure we're out there playing the next snap and doing well. That's all."
